Why Lift Station and Manhole Relining Matters:
Lift Station and Manhole relining are vital components of maintaining our wastewater system. It plays a crucial role in:
- Ensuring Longevity: By reinforcing the structural integrity of manholes, we extend their lifespan, reducing the need for costly replacements.
- Reducing infiltration: Relining helps seal any cracks or leaks, preventing unwanted infiltration of groundwater and ensuring the system operates efficiently, preventing sewer backups for residents.
- Environmental stewardship: Preventative maintenance goes a long way to extending the life span of the sewer system as a whole; wastewater systems are costly to design and expand.
