What is Groundwater Infiltration?
Groundwater infiltration occurs when groundwater enters sewer systems through cracks, joints, or defects in the infrastructure. This unintentional entry of water can overwhelm the system, leading to various problems such as increased treatment costs, system overloads, and potential environmental contamination. Understanding the mechanisms and effects of groundwater infiltration is crucial for maintaining the integrity of sewer systems and preventing costly damages.
Signs of Groundwater Infiltration
Backed-Up Pipes During Rainy Seasons
During rainy seasons, if your pipes are backing up due to heavy rains, it might point toward an infiltration problem. Check during the next rain if your manholes are overflowing onto nearby roads. This overflow signals an excessive groundwater entry into your wastewater system.
Lift Station Pumps Running Continuously or Cycling Frequently
When lift station pumps run continuously for an extended period after a rain event or cycle frequently, there could be an infiltration issue. This repeated cycling is most likely caused by groundwater entering your sanitary sewer system, ultimately leading to an overload in treatment facilities.
Significant Spikes in Flow Rates
Unusual increases in flow rates during rainy or high groundwater conditions can suggest an infiltration problem. While some infiltration is typical, sudden and large spikes in flow rates typically indicate significant groundwater seepage into your system. Regularly monitor and analyze flow rates to identify these spikes early on and tackle potential issues proactively.
How Our Experts Diagnose Infiltration Issues
Recognizing the basic symptoms of infiltration is just the first step. When groundwater infiltrates your system, it's essential to gather precise data to determine the next course of action. Here are the proven methods our professionals use to accurately diagnose infiltration issues:
Monitoring sanitary sewer flow
Inspections of manholes using 3D technology
Utilizing smoke testing methods
Implementing dye testing techniques
Conducting pipe inspections through closed-circuit television (CCTV)
Inspecting private properties for compliance
Sealing Water Infiltration in Leaking Joints, Inverts, and Manholes
Once infiltration points are identified, effective sealing is crucial to prevent further damage and maintain system integrity. Our team at Stabil Solutions offers specialized leak-sealing injection services tailored to address leaks in joints, inverts, and manholes. Our process involves a thorough assessment of the affected area, followed by cleaning and preparation for sealing. Using high-pressure equipment, we inject a specially formulated sealant into the leaks. This sealant expands and solidifies, effectively sealing the infiltration points. After the injection, we conduct rigorous testing to ensure the effectiveness of the seal and the absence of further leaks.
