Our Manhole Cleaning Process
Clean Basins uses a consistent, efficient process for manhole cleaning in Hartford, CT. The goal is to remove accumulated material, restore capacity, and leave the structure ready for ongoing maintenance.
- Locate and verify access to the manhole and surrounding area.
- Assess the structure including sediment depth, flow conditions, and safe access needs.
- Remove solids using professional vacuum equipment designed for wet material.
- Wash down surfaces to clear remaining sediment and improve flow paths.
- Confirm movement through the structure and note restrictions or concerns.
- Haul and dispose of collected material appropriately and provide documentation if requested.
For multi-structure systems, we can clean in a planned sequence. We typically start with the areas that collect the most sediment or have the most history of flooding in Hartford, CT.

Signs You May Need Manhole Cleaning
If you are seeing recurring drainage issues in Hartford, CT, manholes are often part of the problem. A structure that is partially filled can restrict flow and create a settling point that makes downstream issues worse.
Common signs include:
- Slow drainage or backups that return after rain
- Odors near manhole areas or storm structures
- Sediment visible along the flow channel or above the base
- Frequent clogs in the same section of a system
- Standing water near low points on a property
- Evidence of debris collecting at inlets and structures
- Difficulty inspecting or maintaining the system due to buildup
- Post-construction sediment that washes into storm infrastructure
Even when water is still moving, buildup can reduce capacity. Cleaning helps restore volume and makes future maintenance easier.

Equipment Built for Heavy Sediment Removal
Manhole cleaning often involves dense material. Sediment can be compacted and waterlogged, especially after heavy rain or construction activity. Clean Basins uses vactor/vacuum truck cleaning and hydrovac-assisted cleaning to remove high volumes of solids and slurry efficiently.
This equipment is designed for stormwater and wastewater maintenance work. It allows us to remove material without spreading it across the site. It also helps keep the work area cleaner around the structure. When wash-down is needed, vactor/vacuum truck cleaning helps capture rinse water and loosened sediment.
The right equipment makes a difference for properties in Hartford, CT that require repeatable, professional results.
