Güngören Car Park Vacuum Truck

A call for a car park vacuum truck in Güngören usually comes after a rainy day, because in basements sitting lower than the street line, water flows back in down the ramp. If water is still standing in the floor pits once the rain has stopped, the cause is most often a grate or lower drainage line clogged with sludge.

At Cantley, we draw the water out by vacuum with a combination jetting and vacuum truck, and we break up and collect the greasy layer in the grate pits with high-pressure water jetting. Where the entrance is narrow or low, we work with a mini vacuum truck, because where the vehicle can go depends on the entrance height and the slope of the ramp. Before we come, we ask about the water level and the layout of the entrance, then on site we talk the cause over with you and clear the drain. The waste is taken to an authorised discharge point, and nothing is discharged into a storm grate or a stream.

Water in Güngören's basement car parks after rain

On the Merter side of Güngören, business centres, shop floors and workshops tucked into basements make up a dense pattern. In the rest of the district, five and six-storey buildings stand packed against narrow streets, and their ground floors are mostly shops. As the plumbing in these buildings has been altered over time to suit needs, old shared stacks can let grease and waste from the upper floors build up in the lower sections.

If the water is not pumped out of the basement car park of a student house or dormitory, the smell spreads as far as the building entrance. At the flat of an elderly couple, a narrow, sloping ramp may not admit the large truck, and in that case a mini vacuum truck and a hose laid from outside the pedestrian passage solve the problem.

Frequently asked questions

Why does car park water come back up the ramp in Güngören?

When the street line sits lower than the basement floor, rainwater cannot find its way out and flows back in down the ramp. If the grate and the lower drainage line are clogged with sludge, the water stays in the same spot even after the rain has stopped.

Why do you need a vacuum truck instead of a submersible pump?

A submersible pump reduces the water, but it does not clear the sludge on the floor or the blocked line. A vacuum truck draws out the water and the sludge together.

Can a vacuum truck get into a car park with a narrow entrance?

Yes. When the entrance is low or the ramp is narrow, we use a mini vacuum truck and leave the vehicle at the nearest safe point to the ramp entrance. Before the visit, it is enough to keep the access clear, and to let the management know if the hose will pass through a shared area.
