Avcılar Backflow Valve Installation
Avcılar backflow valve installation usually comes up when you see dirty water rising from the basement floor drain while the rain keeps falling. When the street line fills, sewage can travel back into the building and foul everything from the floor covering to your belongings.
In a ground-floor student flat or in the basement car park of a site management, this problem is usually noticed after the first serious downpour. Fitting a valve without knowing where the line takes in backflow can only move the problem somewhere else. So we first look at the low drains on site and at the point where the building's line joins the sewer network, and we explain the cause to you. Then we talk through the valve position with you and only start the installation after that.
Low-lying streets and blocks with a shared stack in Avcılar
In the flat, low-lying areas stretching from Ambarlı to Firuzköy, the street line can fill up as the rain continues and push water back into the lower floors. Close to Lake Küçükçekmece and the Marmara coast, basement floors sit below street level, so the water reaches them first. In blocks with a shared stack, a blockage in a single flat can also affect your neighbour's line, so the valve position is considered for the whole building.
The district has many student flats because of the university, and kitchen grease and wet wipes already narrow the lines. You need to tell water coming back in the rain apart from an overflow caused by a blockage. For site managements, placing the valve's service cover somewhere easy to reach makes the work simpler.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a backflow valve if water comes up the basement drain in the rain in Avcılar?
Yes. If everything is fine in dry weather but dirty water rises from the basement drain in a downpour, that is a strong sign to consider a backflow valve. The valve stops water from returning into the building when the street line fills, and where it goes in is chosen according to the condition of the line.
Is the floor broken up when a backflow valve is installed?
If the line can be reached from inside the manhole, the valve is installed without breaking the floor. If it has to go on a buried line, the work is kept limited to that point and the area is cleaned when the job is finished.
Can I maintain the backflow valve myself after it is installed?
Yes. The valve's flap can jam with sediment over time, so you need to check it now and then. After the installation we show you where the service cover is and how often to check it. Do not pour chemical drain opener into your line, as it can damage both the pipe and the valve's seal.
