Üsküdar Sewer Cleaning
When a request for sewer cleaning in Üsküdar comes in, our crew opens the manhole and inspection chamber covers as soon as they reach the address, then checks the water level and the direction of flow. Cleaning a line without knowing where it starts and where it exits often just moves the sediment somewhere else.
In Üsküdar, site management teams call us when they notice water coming back up in the basement or the shared line slowing down under the garden. In student flats and dormitories, heavy use quickly fills the ground-floor drains. In buildings like these, we first work out which flat or which floor line is contributing, and then we clear the drain.
Sewers in Üsküdar's old lines and coastal neighbourhoods
In the older buildings of the historic neighbourhoods, waste water leaves for the street through terracotta or cast iron lines. In restored homes the internal plumbing may have been renewed, but the old connection running out to the street usually stays in place. On steep, narrow streets some addresses cannot be reached by vehicle, so we choose equipment small enough to be carried on our backs.
In the coastal parts of Kandilli and Çengelköy, the line has very little fall, so water moves slowly and sediment builds up easily. In the newer buildings of Altunizade, problems mostly come from heavy use and from the wrong materials getting into the floor lines. Here we test each flat's line separately to find which section is creating the load.
Frequently asked questions
Why does the ground-floor sink drain slowly in Üsküdar?
If the upper floors are normal but the ground-floor drain is slow to take water, the last section of the shared line may have narrowed. Sediment collecting at the lowest point of the line affects the ground floor first. On site, we open the manhole covers and show you where the narrowing is.
There is a smell in the basement but the manhole looks clean. What could be the cause?
The smell often comes from sediment rotting inside the line, so even if the manhole opening looks clean, the problem can be in the pipe. Airing the room may take the smell away, but it soon returns. With a first look using the camera, we see how thick the sediment is and, if there are roots, where they are.
How can I prevent a blockage after having the sewer cleaned?
After cleaning, we run plenty of water through the line and watch the flow at the manholes. For lines with grease or root build-up, we decide the flushing interval together with you, based on the condition of the building. Regular flushing reduces the damage caused by sudden blockages and by water backing up into the basement.
