The Mr. Manhole Method

Rebuild and Repair Manholes Smarter, Faster, and Safer

Since 2002, installers have used the Mr. Manhole Method to complete over 75,000 successful repairs.

Manhole chimneys either leak, causing high sewage treatment costs and overflow into lakes and streams, or are often not level with the road causing a traffic hazard. Using The Mr. Manhole Method gives you the superpowers to address the bump and leak problems by quickly removing the manhole and replacing it with a new structurally sound watertight assembly. You can complete the repair smarter, faster, and safer in a fraction of the time required by conventional methods.

Engineers agree that round repairs are far superior to square repairs. Instead of using square cuts, the Mr. Manhole method uses round cuts, generating 20 percent less debris while using 20 percent less replacement material.

You know how you work best and Mr. Manhole offers specifications for a variety of scenarios you may encounter in the field.

There are many ways to adjust manhole frames and lids, from a quick height adjustment to a thorough adjustment that eliminates leakage. Any method you choose will require the frame to be removed from the road before the rebuild process starts. We have a variety of adjustable cutter extractors to meet your specific needs that can remove most manhole frames in less than 10 minutes. You work hard, and our cutters are there alongside you to do the heavy lifting. 

The rebuild has a 20-year design life, will not leak and is always level with the road.

You can work with confidence that the repairs you make will be safe, and durable, and eliminate leakage and constant adjusting due to materials breakdown. This all leads to peace of mind for the safety of your crew, your city, as well as your wallet.

We purchased the Mr. Manhole Platinum Six-shooter a few weeks ago. Since that time we have cut 16+ box outs through concrete with no issues. Over the past few years our city, Cedar Falls, IA, has implemented a road sharing program for bicycles. For this to be achieved the street has been adjusted making some of our manholes in the wheel path of vehicles. The Mr. Manhole Markrite tool allows the riser tube to perfectly match the road height providing a near-seamless transition while driving over manholes. The Mr. Mister water spray system is also a must-have in my opinion. It greatly reduces the concrete silica in the air protecting the ground crew without the use of protective masks. I would recommend this product to any municipality or contractor that is looking to take the next step in manhole repairs.
