A damaged storm sewer line doesn't just slow drainage—it allows water to leak into surrounding soil, which can undermine your foundation, flood your basement, or create sinkholes in your yard. In Manteno, where freeze-thaw cycles and shifting soil put constant pressure on underground pipes, storm lines develop cracks, misalignment, and collapse over time. Allied Water Services repairs storm sewer lines by replacing damaged sections, realigning shifted pipe, and sealing cracks to restore structural integrity and proper flow.

The repair process begins with a camera inspection to locate the damaged section and determine whether the issue is a crack, root intrusion, or full collapse. Allied Water Services then excavates the damaged area, removes the compromised pipe, and installs new sections using materials that meet current code standards. The repair is designed to handle the volume of runoff your property generates and to withstand future soil movement and root pressure.

If you're seeing signs of storm sewer damage in Manteno, contact Allied Water Services to schedule an inspection and discuss repair options.

How Damaged Lines Are Repaired

Your storm sewer line runs underground from your property to the municipal system or drainage outlet, and over time it's exposed to root intrusion, soil settling, and freeze-thaw movement. When a section collapses or cracks, water escapes into the soil instead of flowing through the pipe. In Manteno, Allied Water Services excavates the affected area, removes the damaged section, and installs new pipe that's aligned and bedded correctly to prevent future failure.

After the repair is complete, water drains through the line without leaking or backing up. You'll see proper flow during storms, no more erosion around the pipe, and no standing water in areas that used to flood. The repaired section is tested for alignment and seal integrity before backfilling, so the system is ready to handle full capacity immediately.

Allied Water Services minimizes surface disruption where possible and restores grade after the trench is backfilled. If the damage is extensive or the entire line is deteriorating, the crew can recommend a full replacement. The service does not include landscaping or hardscape restoration, but the work is done to leave your property as close to its original condition as possible.

Homeowners often have questions about how much digging is involved, whether the repair will last, and what happens if multiple sections are damaged.

How do you know where the damage is?

Allied Water Services uses a sewer camera to inspect the entire line and identify cracks, collapses, or misalignment. The camera pinpoints the location so excavation is limited to the damaged section.

What causes storm sewer lines to fail?
Failures are usually caused by soil movement, root intrusion, or freeze-thaw cycles that crack or shift the pipe. Older clay or cast iron lines are more prone to collapse than modern PVC or HDPE.

You may need a full replacement instead of spot repairs. Allied Water Services will assess the condition of the entire line and recommend the most cost-effective solution based on what the camera inspection shows.
