Fatih Vacuum Truck Service
When it comes to vacuum truck service in Fatih, the first things to look at are the age of the building and how tangled the plumbing is. On the peninsula inside the city walls, terraced houses, hotel stacks and century-old hans often work with lines laid in different periods by different tradesmen. In some buildings the route of the line has never been documented, so finding the blockage without a camera is hard.
When the crew arrives at the address, they first look inside the line with a camera and talk through the cause of the blockage with you. In historic buildings where floors and walls cannot be broken, Cantley's combination trucks carry out vacuum extraction together with high-pressure water jetting. The loosened waste is taken into a closed tank and carried to an authorised discharge point or a licensed facility.
Vacuum truck work in Fatih's mix of buildings
In the terraced houses on the slopes of Balat and Fener, old pipes become rough on the inside, catch sediment and narrow over time. In the hotels of Aksaray and Laleli, the water from dozens of bathrooms is collected in the same shared stacks, and hair and soap residue build up on the lower floors. In the restaurants of Kumkapı, frying oil gradually blocks the line.
Responsibility for the drain is often unclear between tenant and landlord, so locating the blockage with a camera makes the conversation easier. At the low car park entrance of a new high-rise residence, the width of the street and the height of the entrance decide whether a mini or a standard truck is chosen.
Frequently asked questions
What should I do first if a manhole overflows in Fatih?
Do not climb down into the manhole, because toxic gas can build up in enclosed shafts. Then describe the situation by phone or on WhatsApp. The crew draws off the waste and shows which direction the line is blocked.
I'm a tenant. If a drain blocks, should I call my landlord?
Yes, in most cases letting your landlord know makes things easier, because the building owner usually knows whether the line is connected to the shared stack. If a hose will have to pass through a common area, it is also sensible to inform building management.
When should a restaurant's grease trap be emptied?
It needs emptying when kitchen drains have slowed down, when there is a smell coming from the trap, or when a thick layer of grease has formed on top of the chamber. A full trap lets grease escape into the building's main line and quickly puts strain on the sewer.
