Maltepe Channel Drain Unclogging
When we get a call for channel drain unclogging in Maltepe, the first thing the crew does on arrival is lift the grate covers and check how much water has built up in the channel. They note where the mud, leaves or sand have collected on the bottom, then explain to you whether the blockage comes from the channel itself or from the connected pipe line. The blockage is cleared only after this assessment.
In a detached house with a garden in Maltepe, if water stands on the grate after rain, the problem usually starts on the line running from the garden manhole to the street. In a ground-floor flat, if the garden channel overflows and the water reaches the doorstep, we first flush the pipe the channel connects to through the manhole, then look inside the line with a camera. Once we can pick out the point where the line has failed on the footage, the management or the building owner can decide without unnecessary digging.
The shared street line for old and new buildings in Maltepe
In neighbourhoods close to the coast such as Küçükyalı and Altayçeşme, when the outlet pipe of a newly built block is joined to the street connection of an older apartment building, a level difference or a reverse gradient can be left at the junction. In such places the blockage may be cleared, but it comes back at the same point within a short time. We film the junction with a camera and tell whether the problem is inside the building or on the garden line.
North of the E-5, around İdealtepe, Cevizli and Zümrütevler, closely spaced mid-rise blocks dominate. Grease from the back yards of bakeries and restaurants on the main road seeps through the gaps in the grates into the channel and leaves a sticky layer on the bottom. In buildings with basement floors, water coming back up after heavy rain is also a common complaint. In that case we assess the building outlet and the garden channel together.
Frequently asked questions
Why does the grate hold water after rain in Maltepe?
Usually a layer of mud, sand or leaves that has built up on the bottom of the channel slows the flow of water. If the water still has not drained after the downpour has stopped, the channel may be full or the pipe connected to it may have narrowed. The thickness of the layer can often be seen by looking through the gaps in the grate.
What should you do if the water in the garden manhole drains slowly?
The best thing is to keep the manhole cover closed, make a note of the situation and call the crew. Slowly draining water is an early warning that shows up before the grates overflow. Do not pour in a chemical drain opener, as it creates a risk of a reaction in a full line.
Is digging necessary after the camera inspection?
Not always. If the camera recording shows at which point of the line the damage is, the digging can be limited to that point alone. We share the recording with your management and explain the repair options on the basis of that footage.
