Sultangazi Vacuum Truck Service
If foul-smelling water is coming back up through a drain, or waste is rising in your basement, the first question is whether you need a vacuum truck service in Sultangazi. At Cantley we first look at the problem on site and explain the cause to you, then we move on to clearing the drain.
A ground-floor flat is usually where the problem shows up first, because it feels the discharge from the floors above before anyone else. In an office or business centre facing the street, the sink, the tea point and the toilet waste all run into a single shared line. At both kinds of address we use a drain camera to see where the line is blocked, and we plan the pumping out around that.
Why do waste lines struggle in Sultangazi's adjoining buildings?
Many of the blocks of flats built side by side in Sultangazi have had extra floors or a top-floor flat added later, but the shared outlet line is still the diameter it was on the day it was built. Grease from kitchens and hair from bathrooms builds up in the bends of these narrow lines and cuts off the flow. We see the same picture in Esentepe and Habipler.
Basements on the downhill side of a slope sit lower than the main line in the street, so when it rains or the main line is blocked, water is pushed back into them. In these buildings, clearing and cleaning the line and then fitting a backflow valve on the basement outlet is the lasting fix. Bakeries and restaurants on the main road add a grease load to the shared line, so we use the camera to identify the source and plan the cleaning accordingly.
Frequently asked questions
My basement flat in Sultangazi is flooded. Will a vacuum truck come?
Yes. If the water in the basement is too much for a submersible pump to keep up with, the vacuum truck steps in. The truck draws up the water together with the mud and sand, and once the floor is clear we also check whether the drainage grates are open.
Which truck comes to Sultangazi, a combination truck or a mini one?
We choose the truck with a few questions over the phone and tell you why we chose it. A mini vacuum truck works in narrow streets and low car park entrances. If the blockage is deep in the line, a combination truck does the vacuum pumping and the high-pressure water jetting at the same time.
When a manhole overflows, can I open the cover and look myself?
No. Do not go down into the manhole and do not try to remove the cover yourself, because toxic gas can build up in closed shafts. Describing the overflow over the phone helps the crew choose the right truck.
