Üsküdar Backflow Valve Installation
If dirty water rises from the basement floor drain as soon as it starts raining, the first question is whether backflow valve installation in Üsküdar can solve it. When the street line fills up, sewage from the network travels back through the building connection and overflows at the lowest drain. Once you have seen this happen, it can happen again, so the cause needs to be checked on site.
If water rises by itself in the ground floor toilet during rain in a flat you have just moved into, the building's connection to the street may have been below street level from the start. For a family in an older apartment building, the problem usually begins at the basement laundry drain and repeats with every downpour. First we follow the line with a CCTV camera at your address and show you which drain the backflow comes from. Then we decide the valve position, the pipe diameter and the access cover, and complete the installation.
Why a backflow valve matters in Üsküdar's older buildings
In Üsküdar's historic neighbourhoods, wastewater often reaches the street through terracotta or cast iron pipes. These lines crack and shift at the joints over the years. In areas close to sea level such as Kandilli and Çengelköy, where the fall is limited, the risk of backflow when the street line fills needs particular attention.
On steep, narrow streets many buildings cannot be reached by vehicle, and some addresses are only accessible by stairs. That is why we keep our equipment portable, and we do not decide where the valve can go on the building side until we have seen the spot ourselves.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a backflow valve if water comes up the basement drain in the rain in Üsküdar?
If your basement or ground floor drains sit below street level, a backflow valve is often needed. If dirty water rises from a floor drain or a car park grate in the rain, that symptom alone is reason enough to consider a valve.
Is the floor broken up when a backflow valve is installed?
In most cases the floor is not broken, because the valve can often be fitted inside the manhole. If it has to go on a buried line in the basement, the work is kept to that spot and the area is left clean when the job is done.
Does an installed backflow valve need maintenance?
Yes, it should be checked from time to time, because debris that builds up in front of the valve flap can stop it from closing. After installation we show you where the valve and its access cover are, and explain how to check it.
