If water is still standing at the foot of your basement ramp after the rain has stopped, you may need a car park vacuum truck in Fatih. In that case, finding out why the grate is blocked matters as much as pumping the water out. At Cantley, we first inspect the problem on site and explain the cause to you, then we clear the drain.

Owners and building caretakers of basement-level buildings in Fatih often say the first thing they notice is the mud on the floor. Running a pump lowers the water to a degree, but the sediment at the bottom stays where it is, so the water rises again with the next rain. While the vacuum of our combination truck draws the water and mud into the tank, high-pressure water jetting strips off the greasy layer stuck to the grate pits.

## Why basement water is hard to fix in Fatih's historic buildings

In the terraced houses on the slopes of Balat and Fener, the plumbing has been renewed in different periods, with old lines and new parts joined together. This makes it hard to tell straight away from the floor whether the water in a basement is coming from the neighbouring building. In the commercial buildings of Aksaray and Laleli, the basement drains collect the waste of many shops into the same shared stack, so blockages build up on the lower floors.

Because breaking floors and walls is often not possible in historic buildings, you first need to look inside the line with a camera and find the exact location of the blockage. That is why, in the old han buildings around Kapalıçarşı, cleaning the grates is a shared job for the whole building, not for a single shop. Before the visit, it helps if you keep the road clear where the large truck will pull up and let the management know that the hose will pass through the common area.

## Frequently asked questions

### When should I call a vacuum truck if there is water in my basement in Fatih?

If water is still standing on the floor after the rain has stopped, the best thing is to call without waiting. As the water rises, a submersible pump runs more often, which strains its motor and increases the dirt in the basement. If you send photos of the entrance and the grates on WhatsApp, we can tell you faster which truck is suitable.

### Can a large vacuum truck get into a car park with a narrow entrance in Fatih?

A large truck often cannot enter car parks with a low entrance or a narrow ramp, and in that case we work with a mini vacuum truck. We stop the truck at the safest point closest to the ramp entrance. We ask you on the phone about the height of the entrance and the slope of the ramp so that we can choose the right truck from the start.

### Where do the water and mud taken out by the vacuum truck go?

The water and waste we collect are taken to authorised discharge points and licensed facilities. We do not discharge into storm drain grates, streams or the sea. Feel free to ask where the waste goes, and we will explain it clearly.
