Silivri Vacuum Truck Company

When there is an overflow in a home you rent, knowing the source of the problem makes things easier before you discuss with your landlord who pays for what. In a student flat or a dorm where several people share the same drain, grease and hair can build up quickly. The Cantley crew looks inside the line with a camera on site and finds where the blockage is, then decides between vacuum emptying and high-pressure water jetting.

In summer-house complexes in coastal areas such as Selimpaşa and Gümüşyaka, the shared line was often not built on the assumption that every home would be full at the same time. When new homes added over the years push the capacity, a problem that starts in a single toilet at the beginning of summer can reach the complex's manhole. Where sand brought back from the beach has collected in the bends of bathroom drains, the crew does not settle for checking that one home's drain, and also inspects the complex's shared line.

In older apartment buildings lived in all year round in central Silivri, grease build-up in kitchen lines and a narrowed shared stack are common problems. In newer complexes, construction debris can find its way into the pipe. In inland areas such as Değirmenköy the lines are long, so sludge and roots can build up, and in village houses an older family member who knows where the manhole is makes the job easier.
