Esenyurt Backflow Valve Installation
Esenyurt's multi-block housing complexes built on former farmland and its low-lying streets are among the places hit hardest when the street sewer fills in a downpour, which is why backflow valve installation in Esenyurt comes up in so many buildings. When the sewer in the street is full, dirty water travels back up the building's line and comes out of the lowest drain, often the floor drain in the basement. The first job in a building facing this is to find out which drain the problem starts from.
In dry weather everything looks normal. But if the ground-floor toilet fills up in a downpour, or dirty water comes out of the basement drain, the pressure in the street line is pushing back into the building. At this point Cantley follows the line with a camera to find which drain the backflow comes through, then fits the valve on the basement line or inside the manhole, in a spot that is easy to maintain and does not block the flow from the upper floors. After installation, water is run into the line from the building to test that it flows freely, and then building management is shown where the valve is and where its service cover sits.
Backflow risk in Esenyurt's densely built housing complexes
In Esenyurt's housing complexes, where hundreds of flats share a common line, the pressure drops down to the lower floors when the street sewer fills in a downpour. Basements, car parks and ground-floor shops that sit below street level are the first places where this reverse flow shows up.
A family living in an older apartment building may notice foul-smelling water coming up in the shower tray after a rainy night, while the building's caretaker is left to clear the sediment from the basement drain on their own. In buildings like this, a backflow valve fitted on the last section of the line before it joins the sewer network protects the building side even when the street line fills in a downpour.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a backflow valve if water comes out of the basement drain in the rain in Esenyurt?
Yes, this symptom is the clearest reason for a backflow valve. If there is no problem in dry weather but dirty water rises from the basement floor drain in a downpour, it is very likely coming back in from the street line. To be certain, the line first needs to be inspected by camera.
Does the floor get broken during backflow valve installation in Esenyurt?
In most cases the floor is not broken, because the valve can be installed inside the manhole. If it has to go on a buried line in the basement, the work is limited to that spot. When the job is done, the area is left clean.
What should I do if water still comes back in the rain even though the building has a backflow valve?
First we check whether the existing valve is jammed with sediment, whether its seal is worn and whether it was fitted in the right place. If needed, the valve is cleaned, repaired or refitted. Please do not try to remove the valve yourself; just describe the situation to us by phone or on WhatsApp.
