Restoring Manholes and Tanks: Tackling I&I with Quality Sewer & Drain
Restoring Manholes and Tanks: Tackling I&I with Quality Sewer & Drain
When it comes to maintaining the integrity of our sewer systems, addressing Inflow and Infiltration (I&I) is crucial. I&I can lead to significant problems, including increased treatment costs, sewer overflows, and structural damage. At Quality Sewer & Drain, we specialize in restoring manholes and tanks using advanced products like ML-72 mortar, epoxy, Seal Guard, and chimney seal. Let’s explore the basics of I&I, the importance of addressing it, and how our services can help keep your sewer systems in top shape.
What is Inflow and Infiltration (I&I)?
Inflow and Infiltration refer to the unwanted entry of water into sewer systems.
- Inflow: Water entering the sewer system from sources such as roof drains, storm drains, and yard drains.
- Infiltration: Groundwater entering the sewer system through cracks, leaks, or faulty joints in pipes and manholes.
Both inflow and infiltration can overwhelm sewer systems, leading to various issues such as overflows, increased treatment costs, and potential environmental damage.
Why is Addressing I&I Important?
- Cost Savings: Reducing I&I helps minimize the volume of water that needs to be treated, leading to lower treatment costs.
- Environmental Protection: Preventing sewer overflows protects local water bodies and the environment.
- System Integrity: Addressing I&I helps maintain the structural integrity of sewer systems, reducing the risk of failures and costly repairs.
- Regulatory Compliance: Managing I&I ensures compliance with environmental regulations and avoids potential fines.
