Eyüpsultan Septic Tank Cleaning
Septic tank cleaning in Eyüpsultan comes up in very different kinds of buildings, from the historic slopes in the south of the district to the villa estates stretching north. An old house that was never connected to the sewer and a villa with a garden can show the same problem with completely different symptoms. Odour from the tank, slow drains or a tank that fills quickly are often signs of a layer building up along the sides and at the bottom of the tank.
The work starts by opening the cover and checking on site the sludge level in the tank and the position of the inlet and outlet pipes. If needed, the pipe is inspected with a camera, so it is clear from the start where the washing should be done. Once the liquid and the sludge at the bottom have been drawn out, the crust on the wall is loosened with pressurised water and collected by vacuum. Finally, the pipe is washed with the combination truck and a check is made that water flows freely in both directions.
Septic tanks from Eyüpsultan's historic slopes to villa gardens
Around the Eyüp Sultan Mosque and on the slopes running down to the Golden Horn, old stone and timber houses lean against narrow streets. In these buildings, reaching the cover and the inlet pipe often depends on how wide the street is. Where a large truck cannot get close, we work with a mini vacuum truck. Sediment build-up in old clay pipes is common, so the line is checked by camera without breaking the floor.
In the houses with gardens around Göktürk and Kemerburgaz in the north, the tank may sit in a corner of the garden. Tree roots entering long garden lines can narrow the inlet pipe. In busy places in Eyüpsultan such as a small workshop or a café on the slope, greasy waste speeds up crust forming along the edge of the tank. In the dense rows of apartment blocks in Alibeyköy, if there is a shared tank, building management should be informed.
Frequently asked questions
When should a septic tank be cleaned?
Cleaning may be needed if there is a smell from the tank or the cover, if drains run slowly, or if the tank fills up again quickly. If the smell continues after the tank has been emptied, the sludge and crust at the bottom may have been left in place.
Is it enough to have only the liquid pumped out of a septic tank?
No, pumping out the liquid is not enough on its own, because the thick sludge at the bottom and the crust on the wall can stay in place. The bottom sludge is taken out with the hose, the crust is loosened with pressurised water and collected, and the pipes are washed.
What should I do before the visit if I am on a narrow street in Eyüpsultan?
Keeping open the route a large truck can reach and finding the septic tank cover beforehand is the most useful preparation. If the hose will pass through a shared area, management needs to be told. Pouring a chemical drain opener into the tank is not recommended, because it can react unpredictably with the grease and solids in the waste.
