Gaziosmanpaşa Backflow Valve Installation
Before backflow valve installation in Gaziosmanpaşa begins, the team first looks at the building's drains that sit below street level and at the point where the line joins the sewer network. Cantley carries out this inspection with a CCTV drain camera and does not choose the valve position until it knows which drain the backflow is coming from.
A flat owner on the entrance floor of an apartment building on a slope may see water rising in the ground-floor toilet on its own after a rainy evening. In the basement store of a shop on the main road, dirty water can come up through the floor drain after a downpour and damage the goods on the shelves. In both cases the team first explains the cause to the resident or the building manager, then decides where the backflow valve should go and moves on to the installation.
Why building lines come under strain on Gaziosmanpaşa's hillside streets
A large share of Gaziosmanpaşa's neighbourhoods spread across hills and slopes, so buildings of different heights stand side by side on the same street. Extra floors added on top of low-rise houses, now five or six storey apartment buildings, have led to the shared stack being extended with sections of different diameters and materials. Sediment builds up at these joints and the flow narrows.
In buildings rebuilt under urban renewal, the number of flats has grown, so the old street connection struggles to carry the load. In older buildings, balcony drains connected to the shared waste stack also put the stack under too much strain when it rains. Basements on the lower side of a slope sit below the street line, so they are the first to feel backflow in the rain. For this reason, before fitting the valve, the team follows the blockage with the camera to see which floor it starts on, and usually places the backflow valve in the last section of the line before it reaches the sewer, or inside the manhole.
Frequently asked questions
If water comes up the basement drain when it rains in Gaziosmanpaşa, do I need a backflow valve?
Yes, this is the clearest reason to consider a backflow valve. If dirty water rises through a floor drain or a car park grate during a downpour, the line in the street may be flowing back into the building. First the point where the line connects is checked with the camera, then the position of the valve is decided.
Is the floor broken up during backflow valve installation?
When the installation is done inside the manhole, the floor is not broken. If the valve is to be fitted on a buried line in the basement, the work is kept to that spot only. Once the job is finished, the area is cleaned and water is run through the line to check that it flows freely.
What should I do if water still comes in when it rains even though the building has a backflow valve?
The existing valve may be jammed with sediment, its seal may be worn, or it may have been fitted in the wrong place. The team cleans the valve, repairs it or refits it in the right place. They show you where the valve and its service cover are and explain when it should be checked.
