Tuzla Vacuum Truck Service

When the vacuum truck service in Tuzla reaches your address, the crew secures the area around the cover before opening it and looks at where the problem starts. Is the water rising in the manhole, is the septic tank full, or has water flooded the basement? We do not decide which truck to send until we know.

Cantley's combination trucks do vacuum pumping and high-pressure jetting on the same vehicle, so a blocked line can be cleared and cleaned in one visit. In narrow streets and low car park entrances a compact mini truck on a small chassis is the better choice, while a standard truck suits addresses with easy access. We choose the vehicle over the phone with a few questions about the type of waste, the width of the street and how far the cover is from the road. That way the plan is ready by the time the crew arrives.

Industrial lines, older buildings and new housing complexes in Tuzla

In the industrial areas of Tuzla, the drain line in a facility works much harder than a household one. In canteens, grease and food waste solidify in the cold sections, and in workshops sawdust and metal dust end up in the grate channels. In a facility like this, going through the layout of the line with the site staff and locating the blocked section with a camera means the pumping is done in the right place. Restaurants and cafés along the coastal road also work with lines that are under strain on summer evenings.

In neighbourhoods close to the coast, such as İçmeler and Aydınlı, older apartment blocks stand next to new housing complexes. In older buildings, grease build-up in the kitchen line is the main cause of blockages, while in new complexes it is construction debris. If you live on the ground floor, you may be the first to notice a problem when build-up in the shared stack backs up into the floor drain. If the sink is slow in a flat you have just moved into, there may be leftover debris inside the pipe. Aydıntepe and Orhanlı are densely built up, so we let the neighbours know in advance before we run the hose.

Frequently asked questions

How can you tell that a septic tank in Tuzla is full?

A smell in the garden, a wet patch or water seeping around the cover are the main signs that the tank is full. Waiting can cause waste water to flow back into the house, so pumping should be arranged in this case. The sludge that has settled at the bottom is removed in the same visit.

When should I have the grease trap emptied?

You should have it emptied when the kitchen drains slow down, when a smell comes from the grease trap or when a thick layer of grease forms on top of the tank. A full trap lets grease escape into the main line and puts strain on the building's sewer. For restaurants, we put this pumping on a regular schedule.

What should I pay attention to in the shared area when the vacuum truck arrives?

You are asked to keep the route clear so the large truck can get close, and to find the septic tank or manhole cover beforehand. If the hose has to pass through a shared area, you need to let the management know. In densely built areas such as Aydıntepe and Orhanlı, this step helps the pumping go smoothly.
