When we arrive for backflow valve installation in Güngören, the first thing we do is look at the drains that sit below street level and see where the building's line connects to the sewer network. This inspection shows whether the basement drain, the car park grate or the ground-floor toilet is below road level. We do not say which valve will work until we have seen the drain and the line.

Owners of shops facing the street often see dirty water rise from the floor drain in the basement after a downpour and put it down to chance. If the toilet bowl in the ground-floor WC also fills and rises by itself, it means the pressure in the street line is pushing back into the building. In a building like this, Cantley usually fits the valve on the last section of the line before it reaches the sewer network, or inside a manhole. After installation, we run water from the building into the line to check that the flow is clear.

## Homes and businesses in the same building in Güngören

In the business centres around Merter, in buildings with shops on several floors and in workshops set up in basements, the drain lines carry a load all day. In the five- and six-storey blocks standing side by side on the same street, old shared stacks can collect grease from the upper floors in the lower sections.

That is why in Güngören the decision on a backflow valve is usually made before the rain comes, not after it. For businesses, planning the work outside working hours is often the best approach, because it lets us inspect the line with a CCTV drain camera without stopping the weekday workflow.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does backflow valve installation in Güngören really protect a basement from flooding in the rain?

Yes. A backflow valve closes its flap against water coming back from the street line into the building, which stops it overflowing from the basement or ground-floor drain. This protection is only complete when the valve is fitted at the right point and no sediment has built up on the flap.

### Do you have to dig up the building's pipework for backflow valve installation?

It depends on the building's line. When the valve is fitted inside a manhole, the floor does not need to be broken. If it has to go on a buried line in the basement, the work is kept to that one point. We tell you which route suits your building after inspecting the line at the address.

### Do I need a backflow valve if my basement takes in water in the rain in Güngören?

Yes. Water coming up from a basement drain in the rain is the clearest sign that you need one. A toilet bowl in the ground-floor WC that rises by itself can also point to reverse flow. If ponding on the street has got worse, or new buildings have gone up nearby, even a building that never took in water before can be at risk.
