Sewer Manhole Services

What’s the status of your wastewater collection infrastructure? Many systems use manholes as access points and yet they’re often forgotten when it comes to sewer cleaning services. This can be a dangerous mistake, as a manhole’s condition can drastically affect the efficiency of the entire system.

To protect the structural integrity of your sewer system, Crescent Environmental Services offers inspection and rehabilitation conducted by experienced professionals. With the proper care, you can prevent issues and save yourself time, money and stress.

How Can You Tell If Your Manhole Needs Rehabilitation?

Manholes are constantly exposed to corrosive elements that gradually wear away key structures. Your system may need repair if you notice any of the following:
 
  • Cracks
  • Leaks
  • Corrosion

Which appears usually depends on the materials used to construct the manhole. Modern materials, such as fiberglass, high-density polyurethane, and polymer concrete, are more durable than past options. If your sewer infrastructure was made with precast concrete or brick and mortar, you may need to replace portions with modern alternatives.

Why Is Maintenance Important?

The earliest signs of damage may be superficial, but they can lead to serious consequences if not addressed immediately. If the manhole walls are breached, infiltration and exfiltration can occur. These two processes describe the flow of liquid into and out of the sewer, respectively. Infiltration may cause damage to the system, while exfiltration can pose a serious health hazard to the surrounding community.

Regular maintenance allows professionals to spot problems before they become dangerous. Small repairs can prevent physical harm and save you the expense of major restoration.

What Is the Rehabilitation Process?

First, our technicians locate the source of the issue and access the damage. Next, we clean the manhole to prepare the surface for repair. Finally, we seal leaks and replace sections that have deteriorated.

How Can You Prevent Sewer Infrastructure Issues?

While your infrastructure may eventually need rehabilitation due to wear and tear, you can prolong its life with a few simple steps:
 
  • Regular inspections
  • Thorough cleaning
  • Anti-corrosion lining

The lining is an especially important step, as you’re dealing with both physical and chemical factors. If you’re concerned about leaks caused by corrosion, we can recommend the most effective option for your situation.
