Is your patio manhole cover in disrepair?
Are you a homeowner or a contractor looking for a safe, custom manhole cover replacement for a residential property? When it comes to residential property maintenance, damaged or missing manhole covers pose serious safety hazards. Whether it’s warped, sunken, or misaligned, a faulty cover can lead to tripping hazards, pooling water, and even structural damage over time. That’s why identifying and replacing a failing manhole cover is essential to protecting both people and property.
In this post, we will discuss the solution for a warped manhole cover hidden beneath a residential patio that was creating water pooling and safety risks. With the help of a utility company and Manhole Covers Direct, the issue was resolved with a custom-fit, durable replacement cover—improving both safety and functionality.
In this case, a homeowner began to notice
recurring water pooling in one specific area of their patio. At first, they assumed it was due to ground movement or improper drainage. However, after contacting a local utility company to inspect the area, the team pulled up the pavers and discovered the true culprit: a warped manhole cover hidden beneath the patio surface.
Understanding the potential safety risks,
including uneven ground and water accumulation, the utility company recommended immediate replacement of the cover. The homeowner—surprised to learn they even had a manhole on their property—agreed.
The utility team measured the manhole,
and reached out to Manhole Covers Direct (MCD) to design and fabricate a custom manhole cover that would fit the unusual space and support the patio’s layout. The new cover was installed seamlessly, resolving the water pooling issue and giving the homeowner a safe, flush, and visually appealing solution. The patio was now safer, more functional, and ready for everyday use.
