A manhole access for sewers. More particularly, the present invention relates to a manhole that is adjustable in height and/or pitch to allow the top of the manhole top section to conform to the pitch of a surrounding surface, such as a road. Specifically, there is a cover, configured to cover access to the manhole extension, and an adjuster, coupled between the cover and the manhole extension, designed to be positioned in multiple positioned that form an angle of the cover relative to a top edge of the manhole extension. The adjuster has a cover coupler, positioned on a top side of thereof, designed to releasably hold the cover; and manhole extension coupler, positioned on a bottom edge thereof, designed to hold the adjuster proximate to the top edge of the manhole extension. The adjuster further includes a first position that provides for zero degrees of slope between the manhole cover and the top edge of the manhole extension; and a second position that provides for up to and including twenty degrees of slope between the manhole cover and the top edge of the manhole extension.
