Maltepe Septic Tank Cleaning
When a smell starts coming from beside the cover in your garden, or the bathroom drains begin to empty slowly, septic tank cleaning in Maltepe is often the next thing to consider. These signs suggest an old layer may have built up on the floor and walls of the tank. If you are opening the cover of a house with a garden for the first time, or have just moved into a flat and know nothing about the tank's history, the first step is to look at the condition of the tank.
If the smell continues after the tank has been emptied, or the tank fills up again quickly, the sludge and crust at the bottom may have stayed in place. The crew first opens the cover and checks the liquid level and the position of the pipes, and where needed looks inside the pipes with a camera. The liquid and bottom sludge are drawn out with a combination truck, the crust on the walls is loosened with high-pressure water and collected, and the pipes are flushed.
Septic tank emptying in Maltepe: gardens and housing complexes
In detached houses with gardens, the tank cover is often hidden under grass or soil, so showing us where it is in advance speeds up the job. In housing complexes and apartment buildings, if the hose will pass through a shared area, you should speak to the management beforehand. This conversation is especially useful in the closely packed blocks around İdealtepe, Cevizli and Zümrütevler, north of the E-5.
In buildings with a café, bakery or restaurant on the ground floor along a main street, more greasy waste goes into the tank and bottom sludge builds up faster. The collected waste is delivered to an authorised point and is never discharged into a street grate.
Frequently asked questions
Does septic tank emptying in Maltepe clean the tank completely?
No, emptying only removes the liquid and the loose sludge. Compacted sludge at the bottom and the crust on the tank walls can stay in place after emptying. For this reason the floor and the inner surfaces of the tank are checked separately.
Why does the tank fill up again right after emptying?
This usually means some of the waste cannot pass through the tank freely. A build-up in the inlet pipe or sludge at the bottom reduces the usable volume of the tank. In that case emptying alone may not be enough, and the pipes may also need to be flushed.
The tank smells and the area around the cover is wet. What should I do?
The safest course is to call the crew rather than open the cover yourself. A dried and hardened layer around the edge of the cover, or a blockage in the vent pipe, may be the source of the smell. These points are checked together during emptying.
