Kadıköy Vacuum Truck Service
The need for a vacuum truck service in Kadıköy depends on the age of the building as much as on the character of the district. In Moda and Yeldeğirmeni there are stone apartment buildings from the early 1900s, while around Göztepe and Erenköy high-rise blocks renewed through urban transformation stand side by side in the same neighbourhood. In an old building a blockage usually starts at the connection running from the basement out to the street, while in a new building the street line carries more load as the number of flats grows.
In cafés and restaurants, coffee grounds, milk residue and frying oil narrow the kitchen lines, and in housing complexes a problem in the shared manhole or the basement car park can affect many flats. At Cantley we first listen to the situation by phone and talk through the type of waste and access to the address. On site we look at the cause of the blockage together with you, then clear the drain. In narrow streets a mini vacuum truck is chosen, and where access is wide a combination or standard truck is used.
Old stacks, kitchen lines and basements in Kadıköy
In the old apartment buildings of Moda and Yeldeğirmeni, the inner surface of cast iron stacks becomes rough over time, and grease and soap cling to it easily. The blockage often forms in the lower part of the stack, at the connection running from the basement out to the street. After we inspect the inside of the pipe with a camera and find the spot, we break up the buildup with the high-pressure water of the combination truck and carry it on towards the manhole.
In the cafés and meyhanes around the Çarşı area, floor drains fill up with waste that builds overnight, and in restaurants frying oil and food scraps narrow the kitchen line step by step. In old flats under renovation, plaster, mortar and tile adhesive can find their way into the pipes. Before we arrive, it speeds up the job if you keep the road clear where the large truck will pull up, locate the cover, and let the management know that the hose will pass through a shared area.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to call a vacuum truck for a flooded basement in Kadıköy?
Yes. If the water that has filled a basement or closed car park after a downpour is too much for a small submersible pump to keep up with, a vacuum truck is needed. The truck draws up the water together with its mud and sand. Once the floor is empty, we also check whether the drainage grates are open.
When should a grease trap be emptied?
Emptying is needed when drains in the kitchen have slowed down, when there is a smell coming from the grease trap, or when a thick layer of fat has formed on top. A full grease trap lets fat escape into the main line and strains the whole sewer of the building. In cafés and restaurants, putting this emptying on a regular schedule lets you act before a blockage happens.
Is it right to try to clear an overflowing manhole myself?
No. You should not climb down into the manhole or pour in a chemical drain opener. Toxic gas can build up in closed shafts, and chemical openers can react with the waste and put even more strain on the line. Calling a vacuum truck to draw out the waste and flush the line is the safer way.
