Beyoğlu Vacuum Truck Service
Your search for a vacuum truck service in Beyoğlu usually begins when you notice the kitchen drain filling up slowly, or when you see water pooled at the foot of the basement door in the morning. In Beyoğlu's old buildings these signs often come not from a single point but from several joints at once.
First we look into the cause at the address and explain it to you, then we move on to clearing the drain. Seeing inside the pipe with a camera lets us find where the blockage is, so there is no pointless trial and error. If the blockage is inside the line and the line is full of waste water, Cantley's combination truck uses vacuum and high-pressure water together to draw out the waste and wash the pipe. Day or night, every day of the week, we are ready for this job in all 39 districts of Istanbul.
Why blockages get complicated in Beyoğlu's old apartment buildings
Much of Cihangir, Galata and Tarlabaşı is made up of masonry apartment buildings put up in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In these buildings, which have been divided into flats or turned into hotels and short-term rentals, every bathroom and kitchen that was added connects to the old shared stack at a different angle.
For example, one family living in an old apartment building put off dealing with a slow kitchen drain for a few days; it later turned out the blockage was at a joint in the building's shared stack. In the flat of an elderly couple in Tarlabaşı, water rose from the shower drain at night, which left them uneasy. In these buildings a chemical drain opener may not work in cast iron pipes roughened by rust, and it can even damage the pipe. For narrow streets we also use a small-chassis mini truck.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to call a vacuum truck straight away when my basement floods in Beyoğlu?
If the amount of water is small enough for a small submersible pump to keep up with, you may not need a vacuum truck; if it is too much for a pump, you do. Just tell us on the phone how much water there is and how large the area is.
If a manhole overflows, can I lift the cover and look inside?
No. Climbing into a manhole or leaning over the open cover is not safe, because toxic gas can build up in closed shafts. Call us and describe the situation, and we first draw out the waste inside.
When should a restaurant have its grease trap emptied?
Do not wait if the kitchen drains slow down, a grease smell appears, or a thick layer of fat forms in the tank. For businesses around Karaköy and İstiklal Caddesi, we recommend putting this emptying on a regular schedule.
