Ataşehir Backflow Valve Installation
Ataşehir backflow valve installation is often something people start thinking about on a rainy night, when dirty water rises through the basement floor drain. If everything is fine in dry weather but the ground-floor toilet gurgles or foul-smelling water comes up in the shower during a downpour, that can be a sign of the same problem. These symptoms show that the street line is pushing water back into the building.
If dirty water comes out of a drain in the first rain after you move into a new flat, or if a couple who have lived in the same home for years find themselves cleaning the floor after every downpour, it is easy to put it down to coincidence. We first check which of the building's drains sit below street level, then follow the line with a camera to find the connection point. After that we decide where the valve should go and, wherever possible, fit it inside the manhole.
Why a backflow valve matters in Ataşehir's building stock
Ataşehir's building stock ranges from housing blocks built in the 1990s to residential towers. In older blocks the inside of the pipe may have narrowed and sediment may have built up in the horizontal connections. Around Kayışdağı and İçerenköy, the points where old pipe meets newer PVC drain pipe are where trouble often starts.
Around the İstanbul Finans Merkezi, the dishwashing lines of office-plaza kitchens and restaurants can narrow with grease and coffee grounds. In residential towers, because of the long vertical lines and the pumped system in the basement, we choose the valve position together with the technical management, checking the plan of the line.
Frequently asked questions
Which buildings in Ataşehir need a backflow valve?
The need is clearest in buildings with a basement, a semi-basement flat or a garden floor that sits below road level. If pooling in the street has become more frequent, or new buildings have gone up nearby, the load on the network may have increased.
Is a backflow valve necessary if water comes from the basement drain in the rain?
Yes. A drain that is normal in dry weather but gives off dirty water in a downpour is the clearest reason for a backflow valve. In this case the water in the street line may be flowing back into the building. We use a camera inspection to pinpoint which drain the backflow is coming from.
What happens if the existing backflow valve is not working?
If the existing valve is jammed with sediment or its seal is worn, it is cleaned and repaired. If it was fitted in the wrong place, it is repositioned. Do not try to open the manhole or remove the toilet yourself, as it is safer to do this work on site.
