Beşiktaş Manhole Unclogging
When a call comes in for manhole unclogging in Beşiktaş, the team's first job on arrival is to move children and pets away and stop vehicles passing through the car park before the cover is lifted. Once the cover is open, we wait a while for the chamber to air, then look from above at the water level and at which line the water comes in from and which one it should leave by. Without leaning in, we use this inspection to talk through the cause of the problem with you first, and only then do we clear the drain.
Dark sludge seeping from the edge of the cover, water coming back up through a ground-floor sink, or a chamber that overflows in the first downpour all point to the same line being blocked. When wet wipes, grease and a layer of sludge build up in the chamber and narrow the mouth of the outlet pipe, the water cannot leave the chamber and the level rises. During the job, the outlet line is cleared with a drain snake, and the chamber and the connected pipes are flushed with high-pressure water. Finally, a camera checks the line as far as the street connection, and we show you on screen that the line is clear.
Beşiktaş's narrow streets and old lines
On the steep streets running down to the shore in Ortaköy and Bebek, the pipes of old stone and timber buildings have PVC drain pipe sections added later, sharp elbows and mismatched diameters. Blockages often start at these transition points. In buildings on the slope, the load from the structures above bears down on the connections in the street below.
When site management notices a smell in the car park in the morning, or a building caretaker sees water rising in the basement, a camera shows whether the problem is in the manhole or in the outlet line. Kitchen drains in the Beşiktaş market area block quickly with grease, while in Etiler and Levent the lines connected to shared stacks are affected by heavy use. When large vehicles cannot get into narrow streets, we work with portable machines.
Frequently asked questions
What should I do first if a manhole overflows in Beşiktaş?
First, step away from the area around the cover and keep children and pets from going near it. If there is dampness or a smell around the cover when it has not rained, the problem is most likely in the wastewater line. Then call 0212 923 66 85 and describe the situation.
Does someone need to go down into the manhole to unclog it?
No. The manhole is cleared from above and nobody needs to go down into the chamber. The motorised drain snake is sent through the opening into the outlet pipe, and the high-pressure water is directed at the chamber floor and the connected pipes.
Why does the manhole keep blocking again and again?
The cause of a repeat blockage is often in the pipe leaving the manhole, because root intrusion or a broken line is not fully cleared by cleaning alone. That is why we finish the job by checking the outlet line with a camera and showing you what we find on screen.
