# Maltepe Manhole Unclogging

The question we hear most often about manhole unclogging in Maltepe is why the manhole fills up again some time after it has been cleared. The answer usually lies in the sediment that builds up on the floor of the manhole or in the outlet line. That is why opening the cover and getting the water down is not enough on its own: you need to find where the blockage is.

Cantley clears your manhole from above, without anyone having to go down into it. First we check the water level in the chamber and which pipe the water is coming from, then the drain is cleared. Finally the outlet line is inspected with a camera, and if there are roots, a break or a collapse, we show them to you on the footage.

## How Maltepe's building stock affects manhole problems

In areas close to the coast such as Küçükyalı and Altayçeşme, when the outlet pipe of a new building is joined to an old connection in the street, a difference in height or a reverse slope can form at the joint. The blockage then builds up again and again at that point. The camera first inspects the joint and works out whether the problem is inside the building or in the garden line, so no unnecessary digging is done.

North of the E-5, in the areas of İdealtepe, Cevizli and Zümrütevler, kitchen and bathroom drains are often connected to a shared stack. When overflow shows up in a lower flat, the cause is often grease and sediment built up at a bend in the stack. In buildings with a basement, water coming back up after heavy rain is also common. In a detached house with a garden, an overflowing manhole is usually the first sign; in a ground-floor flat, the problem tends to be noticed together with water arriving from the floor above.

## Frequently asked questions

### What should I do if water is seeping from the manhole cover?

A wet ring around the cover or mud coming out of the holes means the chamber is full, and this is a wastewater line problem. Do not lean over the manhole, do not lift the cover yourself, and keep children and pets away. Then call us and describe the situation.

### Why does a manhole in Maltepe block again after it has been cleared?

Even when the manhole itself is cleaned, the outlet pipe can have root entry, a break or a collapse, and these can only be seen with a camera. In Maltepe, cracks in the clay pipes of older buildings or a joint problem at a new connection are common reasons for this happening again.

### Why does the basement drain push water back up when it rains?

In heavy rain, when the manhole line cannot carry the water, it comes back up through the lowest drain opening. In buildings with a basement in Maltepe this often happens repeatedly, which is why looking only at the basement drain is not enough.
