Arnavutköy Backflow Valve Installation

If dirty water rises from your basement drain when a downpour starts, backflow valve installation in Arnavutköy is the first thing to look at. When the sewer line fills up, wastewater is pushed back towards the building and spills out of the lowest outlet below street level.

In a small workshop, the ground-floor drain may work normally in dry weather, yet dirty water can still come up through the same drain after a heavy shower. If a building caretaker has to open the basement door and sweep out water after every rain, the cause may lie in the building's lower drain line. In cases like this, Cantley first inspects the line with a CCTV drain camera, finds where it joins the sewer, and decides where to place the backflow valve based on what the camera shows.

Street sewer line and rain risk in Arnavutköy

Arnavutköy is a fast-growing district where old village houses stand next to new housing complex blocks, helped by its links to Istanbul Airport. In new complexes, leftover mortar from the construction period can end up in the lines, while older houses often have later additions with too little fall. Both put extra load on the street sewer. This mixed building stock can raise the risk of backflow on rainy days.

In warehouses and workshops around Hadımköy, rainwater coming off large roofs can add a separate load at the point where the building's line meets the street. That is why a backflow valve is the first protection to consider for premises with low drains. In houses with gardens in Taşoluk and Bolluca, outdoor drains can carry soil and gravel in the rain, so the valve should also be placed where it can be reached for maintenance.

Frequently asked questions

Which buildings in Arnavutköy need a backflow valve?

This protection is needed most in buildings with a basement, a semi-basement or a garden floor below road level. If dirty water comes out of a drain below street level when it rains, the backflow valve stops that reverse flow. Upper floors are usually not affected by this risk, because their drains sit higher than the street.

What should I do if the building has a backflow valve but water still comes up in the rain?

First check whether the valve is in the right place and whether its flap moves. A camera inspection shows exactly where along the line the valve sits. If the problem is not resolved, the valve is replaced or moved to a new position.

Does the floor have to be broken up to install a backflow valve?

If the valve is installed inside a manhole, the job can be done without breaking the floor. If the line is buried, digging is limited to the small area where the valve will go. When the work is finished, the area is cleaned and a water test confirms that the flow runs freely.
