Beşiktaş Car Park Vacuum Truck
A car park vacuum truck in Beşiktaş is often needed because of water left standing at the foot of the ramp after rain. On Beşiktaş's sloping streets, rainwater running down from the buildings above heads for the car park entrance on the lower floor and collects in the grates. At Cantley, we go to enclosed car parks, basements and shelters across Istanbul's districts day and night, and pump out the water and the sludge on the floor with the truck.
Even when the rain stops, the thin sludge left on the floor dries into smell and dust, so the floor needs cleaning too. The vacuum tank on our combination trucks draws up the water and sludge through a hose, while high-pressure water jetting strips the greasy layer that sticks to the grate pits. When the entrance is low or the ramp is narrow, we work with a mini vacuum truck. We first inspect the problem on site and explain the cause to you, then we clear the drain.
Car park blockages in Beşiktaş's building stock
On the steep streets running down to the shore in Ortaköy and Bebek, basement car parks dug under older buildings are a common sight. Pipes of different materials added later, narrow diameters and sharp bends cause water and solid waste to catch in the drainage line. In buildings close to the shore the line runs almost flat, so sludge can stay put in the pipe. In Etiler and Levent, the grate channels in the shared car parks of residences and office towers can fill up with greasy water and waste.
If the basement ramp of a flat you have just moved into holds water after the first rain, the cause is most often sludge left over from earlier use. If you run a café or restaurant on a narrow street, smell and a greasy layer build up quickly once kitchen waste reaches the building's shared grate. If a large vehicle cannot get close to the building, we come with a mini vacuum truck, so the street's traffic and neighbouring businesses are not disrupted unnecessarily.
Frequently asked questions
What should I do if the car park ramp floods in Beşiktaş?
The water needs to be pumped out and the source of the blockage dealt with together. A submersible pump removes some of the water, but the sludge on the floor and the blocked line stay where they are, so the water rises again. If you find out the height of the entrance and the water level from building management and send a photo on WhatsApp, we can assess the situation faster.
How is the job done on Beşiktaş's narrow streets if a large truck can't get in?
In that case we work with a mini vacuum truck and park it at the closest safe point to the ramp entrance. We lay the hose clear of the carriageway and the pedestrian crossing, and if needed we mark off the entrances temporarily. It helps if you keep the road clear before the visit and locate the septic tank or manhole cover.
Where are the pumped-out water and waste taken?
The pumped-out water, sludge and greasy waste are taken to authorised discharge points and licensed facilities. We do not discharge into storm grates, streams or the sea. Just ask the team where the waste goes and we will explain it clearly.
