If you have noticed dirty water rising from a basement drain during a downpour, backflow valve installation in Adalar is one of the first solutions to consider. This symptom is often not a blockage at all. When the street line fills up, sewage is pushed back towards the lowest drain in the building. Once the rain stops, everything returns to normal, but the same thing can happen again in the next downpour.

Someone with a shop on the main street may arrive in the morning to find foul-smelling water overflowing from the drain at the back. A family living on the ground floor of an older building may hear the toilet gurgle in the rain, while the upper floors notice nothing. In both cases the first question is the same: which drain is affected, and where does the line connect to the network? We start by inspecting the line in your building and talking through the cause with you, then we move on to the work we have agreed on.

## Street lines and older buildings in Adalar

In Adalar, old mansions, stone houses and summer homes stand side by side, and the drain lines in these buildings may have been renewed piece by piece over the years. The joints between old and new pipe are where sediment tends to build up first. When the network fills up in the rain, these weak transitions can show the first sign of trouble.

Houses by the sea often have little fall on the line, so flow becomes even weaker in stormy weather. For working on the hills of Büyükada or in the inner streets of Heybeliada, light machines that can be taken apart into sections are used, and the valve can be placed in an accessible manhole for maintenance.

## Frequently asked questions

### If water comes up from my basement drain in the rain in Adalar, do I need a backflow valve?

If everything is fine in dry weather but dirty water rises from the basement drain in a downpour, that is the clearest reason for a backflow valve. First we use a camera to check which drain is overflowing and where the line connects. Then we explain whether a backflow valve or another method will work.

### What should I do if I already have a backflow valve and water still comes back?

In that case it makes sense to assume the valve is not working, because its flap may be jammed with sediment or its seal may be worn. The valve can be cleaned and repaired, or refitted in the right place. Chemical drain openers can damage the seal, so please do not try this yourself.

### Does the floor need to be broken to install a backflow valve?

The floor is not broken for an installation in a manhole. If the valve is to be fitted on a buried line, the work is kept limited to that point. When the job is done, the area is cleaned and we show you where the valve is and its maintenance cover.
