Bağcılar Backflow Valve Installation
When we arrive at the address for backflow valve installation in Bağcılar, the first job is to look at the building's drains that sit below street level and trace with a camera the point where the line joins the sewer network. This inspection usually settles in a single visit which drain the backflow comes from and where the valve should go.
At Cantley we explain the situation to you first and only then start work. If dirty water comes out of the basement drain in the rain, or the ground-floor toilet rises in a downpour, the source is often the street line. The valve is fitted at a point that suits the direction of flow and stays open to maintenance. After installation we test the flow of the line and also check whether the flap closes in the reverse direction.
Bağcılar's building stock and the need for a backflow valve
Most of Bağcılar's building stock is made up of attached apartment blocks built in the 1980s and 1990s. Bathrooms and kitchens added later put more wastewater on narrow horizontal connections than they were meant to carry.
A textile workshop in a basement or a restaurant on the ground floor, whose drain sits lower than the street line, faces the risk of both blockage and backflow. A detached house with a garden, whether the garden floor or a semi-basement flat, can end up in the same situation. If you are a tenant, seeing with a camera together with your landlord, or as a landlord together with your tenant, which line the basement drain connects to puts the discussion on a concrete footing.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a backflow valve if water comes into my basement in the rain in Bağcılar?
Yes, if dirty water comes out of the basement drain in the rain, that is the clearest reason for a backflow valve. We make the final decision after inspecting the line with a camera.
I am a tenant. Do I need my landlord's permission for backflow valve installation?
Because work is done on the building's line, the approval of the landlord or building management is usually needed. Reporting the problem in writing and reviewing the inspection result together makes the process easier.
Where is the backflow valve fitted in my detached house with a garden floor?
In most detached houses the valve is fitted on the last section of the building line before it reaches the sewer network, or inside a manhole. The location is chosen so that it can be reached for maintenance and so that wastewater from the upper floors is not blocked.
