Başakşehir Backflow Valve Installation
When you request backflow valve installation in Başakşehir, the first thing the Cantley team does on arrival is look at the building's drains that sit below street level. If the floor drain in the basement, the car park grate or the ground-floor toilet brings up dirty water in the rain, we follow the line with a CCTV drain camera inspection to work out where the pressure is coming from. The position of the backflow valve is decided only after this inspection, so no unnecessary digging is done.
When the street line goes beyond its capacity in a downpour, the pressure enters through the building's connection and spills out of the lowest drain. In an overflow like this, belongings and floors are soiled with sewer water from the mains, and cleaning takes a long time. A backflow valve is a fitting that lets water leaving the building pass and shuts off pressure coming back the other way with its flap. When it is fitted in the right place and maintained, the lowest floor of the building stops being the first place affected in a downpour.
Flats and businesses below street level in Başakşehir
In blocks with a shop on the ground floor or a flat in the basement, the lowest drains on the shared line can be the first points to take in water. In Bahçeşehir, drains below street level also become more common in garden-level flats and in housing complexes with underground car parks. In buildings like these, the position of the valve should be reviewed before the downpour.
In workshops and warehouses in the İkitelli Organized Industrial Zone, a canteen or staff toilet drain sitting below street level brings the same risk to the business side. A basement flat rented out to students may get dirty water from the bathroom drain in the rain, the same can happen with the ground-floor shower of a dormitory, and overflow can also show up in the kitchen drain of a café or restaurant. In these places, if the valve is fitted on the last section of the line before it reaches the mains, the business can also stay open.
Frequently asked questions
Does backflow valve installation in Başakşehir protect the basement in the rain?
Yes, a valve that shuts off the water coming back when the street line fills prevents overflow from the drains in the basement and ground floor. The protection works only when the building line is fitted at the right point. If water has already been rising in the floor drain of the basement, that drain is inspected first.
How does backflow valve installation work for a ground-floor shop or café?
The installation is done on the relevant section of the line, and if it can be done inside the manhole without breaking the floor, the business is affected very little. First, the inspection finds where the drain is fed from, then the position of the valve is explained to the business.
What should I do if an existing backflow valve still lets water in during rain?
First, check whether the flap is jammed with sediment and whether the gasket is worn. If the valve has been fitted at the wrong point, the same symptom keeps coming back, so it is cleaned, repaired or refitted in the right place. In housing estates in Başakşehir too, this check should be done regularly.
