Eyüpsultan Manhole Unclogging
The most common case we see with manhole unclogging in Eyüpsultan is in buildings on sloping streets, where water runs away fast but solid waste stays at the bottom of the manhole. Over time this build-up slows the sinks and showers on the ground floor and makes the cover overflow after rain. Cantley first inspects the problem on site by opening the cover and looking into the chamber from above, shares the cause with you, and then moves on to clearing the drain.
In older buildings in Eyüpsultan's historic area, the lines are often made of clay pipe, with sediment that has built up over the years. Breaking up the floor here is difficult and can damage the building, so the first step is to look inside with a camera and locate the blockage. It is then cleared with a method suited to the condition of the pipe, using a motorised drain snake and high-pressure water jetting.
Manhole unclogging by building type in Eyüpsultan
Around the Eyüp Sultan Mosque, in the old stone and timber houses and on the slopes running down to the Haliç, some buildings have been renovated while others have gone without maintenance for years. On these lines clay pipes and the sediment inside them are common, and on sloping streets solid waste stays behind in the manhole.
In Alibeyköy, blockages at the lower end of the shared stacks in multi-storey apartment buildings affect the lower floors. In villas in Göktürk and Kemerburgaz, tree roots growing into the garden lines are the source of the problem. If a ground-floor flat shares a manhole with a café or restaurant, the overflow may show up first in the kitchen drain.
Frequently asked questions
What should I do first if a manhole overflows in Eyüpsultan?
Keep children and pets away from the area around the manhole, and do not try to open the cover yourself or lean over it. Then call us or message us on WhatsApp, and we will look at the problem together on site.
Why is the manhole smell stronger in the basement in Eyüpsultan?
Waste water sitting in the chamber cannot ventilate in an enclosed space, so the smell concentrates in basements and closed car parks. If the smell lasts for a long time, you should assume there is a blockage somewhere along the line. Chemical drain openers often do not break down solid build-up and can be risky in an enclosed space.
How does manhole unclogging work?
First the cover is opened and the area is made safe, then the water level is checked from above. A motorised drain snake clears the outlet pipe, and the base of the chamber is washed with pressurised water. When the job is done, the outlet line is checked with a camera all the way to the street connection.
