# Beyoğlu Manhole Unclogging

Beyoğlu Manhole Unclogging jobs most often begin in the late 19th-century buildings of Cihangir, Galata and Tarlabaşı. These buildings have been split into flats over the years and fitted with new bathrooms and kitchens, so lines with too little fall have been added to old cast iron stacks, and blockages can form at several points at once.

The water level you see when you lift the manhole cover gives the first clue to how big the problem is. From the cover we check the condition of the chamber and which lines feed it and which one the water should leave by, then explain the cause to you. After that we clear the line with a motorised drain snake and high-pressure water jetting, and at the end of the job we show you the outlet pipe on camera.

## Why does a manhole block again in Beyoğlu's old buildings?

In Beyoğlu, some of the stacks built with the first cast iron pipes are still in use, and their inner surfaces have been roughened by rust. On the slopes of Kasımpaşa, the load coming from the upper streets collects at the lower connections, so the flats on the lower floors are affected most.

The restaurants and bars around Karaköy, Galata and İstiklal Caddesi carry a large share of the district's drain load. A sink backing up in a shop on the main street, or a new bathroom line slowing down after connecting to an old stack in a flat someone has just moved into, are typical examples of this complicated setup.

## Frequently asked questions

### What should I do first if a manhole is overflowing in Beyoğlu?

First, do not open the cover yourself, and keep children and pets away from the manhole. Then contact us, and we will inspect the problem on site and explain the cause.

### Does manhole unclogging also solve odour and backflow problems?

Yes. When a manhole is blocked, the odour and the backflow on the ground floor often come from the same cause. After the chamber and the connected lines are washed out, the outlet pipe is checked with a camera. If there is root intrusion, a break or a collapse, it is shown to you on the footage.

### Why does the blockage come back after the manhole has been cleared?

Because the blockage may be not just at the bottom of the manhole but also inside the pipe leaving it. Tree roots can enter through the joints, ground settlement can break the pipe, and old clay pipes can crack. That is why we check the outlet line with a camera at the end of the job.
