If the shower and sink in your ground-floor flat slow down at the same time, it may be the first sign that you need septic tank pumping in Kartal. If the kitchen drain in a shop on the main street has slowed and a rotten smell is coming from around the sink, the pit is probably close to overflowing.

Pumping does not start until the condition of the pit is clear, so the crew first finds the cover and checks the waste level inside. Where the street is narrow or the car park is low, we work with a mini vacuum truck. Otherwise we use a combination truck that does vacuum pumping and high-pressure jetting in one vehicle. The pumped waste is carried to licensed facilities in a sealed tank and is never released into a street grate or the sea under any circumstances.

## Septic tank pumping in old and new buildings in Kartal

Older blocks near the coast and new towers stand side by side on the same street, while on the slopes rising inland, houses with gardens and buildings set into the hillside stand out. On sloping streets such as those in Yakacık and Soğanlık, finding level ground for the truck beside the pit cover is often the first job, so looking together at where the vehicle will park before pumping makes the work easier.

In older buildings near the coast, roots can strain the pit connection, and in restaurants and bakeries around the market, grease and flour residue harden at the bottom of the pit. Anything other than toilet paper that goes down the toilet, from pocket tissues to paint thinner, builds up a lasting layer on the bottom.

## Frequently asked questions

### How often should septic tank pumping be done in Kartal?

There is no schedule that suits everyone. The interval depends on the volume of the pit, the number of people living in the home and daily use. If the drains have slowed, there is a smell or dampness in the garden, or the pit filled quickly after rain, call without waiting.

### What do I need to do at home during pumping?

Keep the road clear so the crew can park the truck close to the cover, and remove any soil, plant pots or items on top of the cover beforehand. If the hose has to pass through a shared area, let the management know. Do not pour chemical drain opener down for blockages, because it can react unpredictably with the waste and damage the pipe. Use lukewarm tap water instead.

### What should I do if I see a leak from the cover?

If water or waste is seeping from the edge of the cover, do not step on the cover and keep children away from the area. Then call the crew, because this sign can show that the pit has started to overflow.
