Yes. Sunken manholes and utility structures can place additional stress on surrounding asphalt or concrete, which may contribute to cracking, potholes, and premature pavement deterioration over time.
Utility adjustment services may include:
Improper utility elevations can cause water pooling around the structure. Properly adjusted utility covers help improve surface drainage and reduce standing water that may weaken pavement over time.
Yes. During asphalt resurfacing or overlays, pavement height often changes. Utility structures must typically be adjusted to match the new pavement grade to maintain a smooth and level driving surface.
Several factors can contribute to uneven utility structures, including heavy traffic loads, pavement settling, weather conditions, aging infrastructure, underground utility work, and repeated resurfacing projects.
Proper utility adjustments help reduce stress points around utility structures, which can minimize cracking and pavement failure. This contributes to improved pavement performance and longer-lasting surfaces.
