The last few months of the year bring a lot of things. Pumpkin Spice everything, holidays like Halloween and Thanksgiving, and leaf collection and yard clean-up. Because October through December tends to be a slower time of the year, it also provides the opportunity to get manhole system maintenance work done.
Consider this manhole maintenance checklist:
- Check the sanitary sewer manholes in your collection system to determine if there are inflow or infiltration issues to deal with.
- Execute manhole inspections.
- Perform the work identified during these inspections, for example, rebuilding deteriorated manhole grade rings, or installing some manhole chimney seals or barrel joint seals.
- Clear leaves and debris away from storm sewer inlets and look for potential issues surrounding them.
- Deteriorated grade rings below the drainage grate may be ready to collapse, so take a look while you are there and identify any defects that can be corrected before there is a major failure with pavement collapse.
If these maintenance items have been put off, now is a great time to try to get caught up.
