# Kartal Septic Tank Cleaning

In the older blocks near Kartal's seafront and the garden houses on the hillsides, the septic tank works out of sight, so septic tank cleaning in Kartal starts with understanding the real condition of the tank. When people complain about smells or a slow drain, most expect pumping alone, but the crust on the walls and the sludge on the bottom do not come out with suction. The Cantley team first inspects the tank and its connections, explains the cause to you, and then moves on to washing and pumping.

In a building with a small workshop in the basement, fibrous material and greasy waste can build up in the inlet pipe and narrow the first section of the tank. In that case you will usually see a smell around the edge of the lid together with sinks that empty slowly. If only pumping is done, the tank gets some relief, but the crust and the layer on the pipe walls stay in place, so the symptoms come back.

## In Kartal, the type of building decides the condition of the tank

In places like Yakacık and Soğanlık, which rise towards the north, garden houses sit on sloping streets and the lid may be at the edge of the garden or behind the steps. If a combination truck cannot get close on narrow, steep streets, we work with a mini vacuum truck. In heavy rain, water from terrace and balcony drains can collect around the lid.

New buildings put up through urban renewal connect more flats to the old street lines, so waste reaches the tank and builds up faster than expected. In older blocks near the seafront, the connecting pipe between the building and the tank can crack over time and take in roots. At that point, looking inside the pipe with a camera decides how the washing is done.

## Frequently asked questions

### What should I do if the septic tank smell in Kartal continues after pumping?

Pumping alone is often not enough, because the smell usually comes from the crust on the sides of the tank and the old sludge on the bottom. For this reason the area around the lid and the bathroom drain are checked separately, and we also look at whether the vent pipe is blocked.

### Can I open the septic tank lid and clean it myself?

We do not recommend opening the lid yourself, because gas that builds up in the tank can be dangerous in an enclosed space. Pouring in a chemical opener is also risky, as it can change the nature of the waste and make pumping harder.

### Can a vacuum truck get into the narrow streets of Kartal?

Yes, we work with a mini vacuum truck for narrow streets and low car parks. We decide which vehicle to bring after seeing the road to the address, and the scope of the work stays the same.
