Sancaktepe Backflow Valve Installation
If dirty water rises from the basement drain when it rains, backflow valve installation in Sancaktepe is the first solution to consider. When the street line fills and overflows, sewage travels backwards along the building's line and comes out of the lowest drain. A backflow valve closes off that route and protects the building side.
Before installation, we check which drains in the building sit below street level. We run a drain camera through the line, find the connection point and decide where the valve should go based on what we see. When the work is done, we carry out a water test with you and explain how to keep an eye on the valve's maintenance.
Backflow valves in Sancaktepe's older and newer buildings
Around Samandıra and Sarıgazi there are many houses that were built with one or two storeys and had more floors added later. The original plumbing was laid for a few users, so once extra flats are added on top, the line often cannot carry the load. In houses with a basement or a garden floor below road level, the lowest drain is the first place to overflow when the street line fills.
In Yenidoğan and the newly built multi-block housing complexes, pieces of mortar and plaster that got into the line during construction can cause the first overflow in a ground-floor flat. If water comes up the ground-floor drain in rain, the building caretaker will first want to know where the water is coming from, and the camera footage settles that. In shops, cafés and restaurants, a blockage in the drain itself can mix with water coming from the street line, so the two need to be told apart.
Frequently asked questions
Does the building's sewer line need to be broken up for backflow valve installation in Sancaktepe?
Not necessarily. If the valve can be fitted inside the manhole, the floor is not broken. If it has to go on a buried line in the basement, the work stays limited to that point.
If dirty water comes up in rain, is it a blockage or do I need a backflow valve?
Water that rises with the rain and drains away once the rain stops is most often the street line filling back into the building. If the flow is slow in dry weather too, the line should be inspected with a camera first.
What should I do if my existing backflow valve still lets water in during rain?
If the existing valve is not working, it is cleaned, repaired or refitted in the right place. Sediment or a wrong position can be the cause, so do not try this yourself.
