When a camera inspection shows a cracked, broken, or misaligned section in your Manteno sewer line, the question becomes whether the entire system needs to be replaced or if targeted repair can restore function. Allied Water Services provides sewer repairs that address specific problem areas while preserving the rest of the line, minimizing disruption to yards, driveways, and landscaping. The work extends the life of your existing system and is completed to local code and inspection requirements.

Sewer repairs are designed to handle the conditions that cause damage in Manteno, including soil shifting and freeze-thaw cycles that crack pipes or push joints out of alignment. The repair process involves excavating the damaged section, replacing or reinforcing it with materials suited to the depth and soil conditions, and restoring the surface once the work is complete. You receive clear recommendations on when repair is effective and when replacement becomes the better long-term option.

If your Manteno property has a damaged sewer section and you want to know whether repair is possible, contact Allied Water Services to review the camera footage and discuss your options.

How Damaged Sections Are Restored

Allied Water Services uses camera inspection footage to pinpoint the exact location and extent of the damage in your Manteno sewer line. Once the problem area is identified, excavation is performed to access the damaged section without disturbing more of your property than necessary. The broken or misaligned section is removed, and a new segment is installed using materials that match the rest of the line or upgrade it for better durability.

After the repair is complete, wastewater flows without backing up, drains empty normally, and the system handles heavy use without slowing down. You'll notice that fixtures respond the way they should, and that performance holds because the structural failure has been corrected at the source.

Repairs are designed to meet local code and inspection requirements, and the excavation site is backfilled, compacted, and restored to match the surrounding surface. If the damaged section is located under hardscape, the repair includes coordination to restore driveways or walkways once the line is functional again. The camera footage also shows whether other sections of the line are approaching failure, allowing you to plan for future work if needed.

Homeowners in Manteno often want to know how repair compares to replacement, what's involved in accessing the damaged section, and how long the work takes.

What types of damage can be repaired?

Repairs work well for localized cracks, broken sections, misaligned joints, and root intrusion that affects a small portion of the line. If damage is widespread or the entire line is deteriorating, replacement becomes the more effective option.

How do you decide between repair and replacement?
The decision depends on the extent and location of the damage, the condition of the rest of the line, and the age of the system. If the camera shows multiple problem areas or the pipe material is failing throughout, replacement provides better long-term value.

How long does a sewer repair take?
Most repairs are completed in one day once excavation begins. The timeline depends on the depth of the line, the extent of the damage, and site access, but the goal is to restore function and close the excavation as quickly as possible.

Will you have to dig up my entire yard?
No. Allied Water Services uses camera inspection data to locate the damaged section precisely, so only the affected area is excavated. The rest of your property remains undisturbed, and the excavation site is restored after the repair is complete.

Why do sewer lines crack or shift in Manteno?
Freeze-thaw cycles cause ground movement that stresses sewer lines, especially older clay or cast iron pipe. Soil settling, root pressure, and aging materials also contribute to cracks, offsets, and joint failures over time.

Allied Water Services works with Manteno property owners to repair damaged sewer sections and restore reliable drainage without unnecessary excavation or expense. If your camera inspection shows a problem or your drains are backing up, get in touch to review the footage and discuss what the system needs.
