Küçükçekmece Mini Vacuum Truck

A mini vacuum truck is a vacuum vehicle on a small chassis, and it fits easily into narrow streets, steep slopes and low car park entrances. We work out which vehicle suits the job on the phone, by talking through the width of the street, the height of the entrance and how far the cover is from the road. If a deep line also needs high-pressure water jetting, a combination truck that pairs vacuum suction with jetting is the better choice. Once the waste has been pumped out, it is taken into a closed tank and carried to an authorised discharge point or a licensed facility.

In older neighbourhoods such as Cennet and Sefaköy, shared stacks and the connections running from the building to the street narrow over time with sediment and grease, so overflows in ground-floor flats are common. When a family in an older building notices a problem on the drain line on the lower floor, the cover is often on the other side of the street. A large vehicle may not be able to turn on that road, while a mini vehicle can park at the safest point closest to the cover and run the hose along a short route.

In the new housing complexes in Halkalı, or in a flat in Küçükçekmece that you have only just moved into, you can run into a low car park entrance or slow flow in the shared lines even when the building is new. Someone who notices a drain line problem in a flat they have just moved into usually asks on the first call whether the mini vehicle will fit the entrance height. If the hose has to pass through a shared area, letting the site or building management know beforehand makes the job easier for the crew and for your neighbours.
