# Kağıthane Manhole Unclogging

The need for manhole unclogging in Kağıthane is usually noticed through water seeping from the edge of the cover or dark sludge around it. If it hasn't rained and a wet ring is forming around the cover, you should suspect a build-up in the wastewater line. We first open the cover and read the chamber from above, then talk the cause through with you before we clear the drain.

A manhole, also called an inspection chamber, is a covered access point where the building's lines meet, and it normally carries water through without letting it collect. If the water is rising in the chamber, there is a blockage somewhere in the outlet line, and the level you see when the cover is lifted gives a first idea of how serious it is. Without anyone going down inside, we clear the outlet pipe with a motorised drain snake, remove the water, then wash the base and the connected lines with high-pressure water jetting. When the work is done, we run a CCTV drain camera along the line and show you whether there is root intrusion, a break or a collapse.

## Manhole problems in Kağıthane's valley terrain

Kağıthane stretches along the valley carved by the stream it is named after. On the slopes of neighbourhoods such as Gültepe and Çağlayan, the shared stacks of older buildings lined up along steep streets collect grease and sediment from the upper floors, and this can cause overflows in ground-floor flats. On the valley floor, offices, shopping centres and residences have replaced the old warehouses. Even where the new buildings are modern, bottlenecks can form at the points where they connect to the older main lines.

If water comes back up through the sink in a shop on the main street after the morning clean, it can mean the manhole in front of the door is full. If the bathroom drain in a ground-floor flat slows down and a bad smell rises from the floor drain, the problem is often in the manhole connected to the shared stack on the slope. In offices, kitchenettes and shared toilets are used heavily during working hours, so blockages tend to start in the middle of the day. Whichever building you are in, we choose the method only after seeing the location of the blockage on camera.

## Frequently asked questions

### How does the process work when you have a manhole unclogged in Kağıthane?

It starts with opening the cover and securing the area around it, then we inspect the chamber from above. Once we have established the water level, which line the water comes in from and which line it should leave by, the outlet pipe is cleared with a motorised drain snake. Finally, the line is checked with a camera.

### There is a smell around the manhole. Could it be a blockage?

Yes. If there is a strong rotten egg smell around the manhole, the wastewater sitting in the chamber may have started to turn foul. If the smell is stronger in the basement or on the ground floor, the blockage is most likely in the manhole or in the line leaving it. We recommend having it checked rather than waiting for a long-running smell to go away.

### The manhole was cleared but it overflows again after rain. Why?

Even when the manhole itself is cleaned, the blockage will come back if there is root intrusion, a break or a built-up layer in the outlet line. That is why we check the line with a camera at the end of the job and show you the cause on screen. If the footage reveals a defect, the real source of the repeated overflow becomes clear.
