Pendik Manhole Unclogging
When we arrive at the address for manhole unclogging in Pendik, the first job is to open the manhole cover and make the area safe. Without leaning into the chamber, we look from above at the water level and which line it is coming from, so we can see where the problem sits. At Cantley, we first explain what is blocked, then we start clearing it.
These covered shafts you see in gardens, car parks or at building entrances control the direction of the water where lines meet. If the water inside the manhole is rising, one of the lines leaving it has blocked. Water seeping from the edge of the cover or ground-floor drains backing up are the most common signs of this.
Manhole problems in Pendik's older buildings and high-rise blocks
In Pendik's older apartment buildings it is common to find a shop on the ground floor and flats on the upper floors. The shop's drain is often connected to the same line as the flats, and grease sets hard in the cold section of the pipe. As a result, the slowdown shows up first in the bathroom of the lowest flat, while the source of the problem is in the shop. A family living in an older building will often look for the cause in their own flat. In these buildings we inspect the shop and the flats separately with the camera to find where the load is coming from.
In the high-rise blocks around Kurtköy, Yenişehir and Kaynarca, water coming down the long shared stacks hits the bend at the foot of the building and packs the debris in there. Detergent foam also collects at the same bend, so foam coming up through the sink in a flat you have just moved into is a common sight in these buildings. In this case you need to check the base of the stack as well as the flat, and working with the site's technical staff makes that easier.
Frequently asked questions
What should I do if water is seeping from a manhole cover in Pendik?
Call us before opening the cover yourself, and we will come to the address and inspect the chamber from above. If you see seepage when it has not been raining, it is a sign of a problem on the wastewater line, and waiting only lets the build-up grow. When you approach the cover, do not lean over it, and keep children and pets away.
How are the drain snake and high-pressure water used in manhole unclogging?
The motorised drain snake is fed from the cover opening into the outlet pipe, where it breaks up the mass of wipes, grease and sludge so the water can flow. Once the water has drained away, a high-pressure water jetting hose is sent to both the chamber floor and the connected pipes to strip the grease from the pipe walls.
Why is the line checked with a camera after the manhole is cleared?
Even when the build-up in the chamber has been cleared, root intrusion, a break or a collapse may remain in the outlet line, and the blockage can come back. We send the camera down the pipe leaving the manhole and confirm that the line is open as far as the street connection. We show you what we see on the footage.
