CONFINED-SPACE MANHOLE REPAIR & RESTORATION

Manhole Rehabilitation

Manholes are critical access points for sewer and storm drain systems—but they’re also vulnerable to infiltration, corrosion, and structural degradation. TrenchFree performs manhole rehabilitation to address these issues and extend the service life of your underground infrastructure.

Our confined-space certified crews safely restore manholes using industry-approved methods, ensuring compliance with OSHA regulations and municipal standards.

Common Manhole Problems

Our advanced camera inspection technology detects a wide range of pipeline and manhole defects

Infiltration

Groundwater entering through cracks, joints, or deteriorated seals

Corrosion

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) attack on concrete and metal components

Structural cracking

Settlement, traffic loading, or age-related deterioration

Inflow

Surface water entering through damaged frames, covers, or chimney seals

Rehabilitation Services

Comprehensive system assessment to ensure efficiency and compliance

Structural rehabilitation

Cementitious or epoxy coatings to restore structural integrity

Infiltration mitigation

Chemical grouting, sealing, and waterproofing

Chimney seal installation

Flexible seals to stop inflow at frame connections

Bench and invert repair

Restoration of flow channels and benching

Protective coatings

Corrosion-resistant linings for H2S environments

Safety & Compliance

Manhole work is inherently confined-space work. Our crews are trained and certified in:

Why Rehabilitate vs. Replace

Manhole replacement is expensive and disruptive—often requiring traffic control, excavation, and extended service interruptions. Rehabilitation restores function at a fraction of the cost while keeping your system operational.
