Zeytinburnu Manhole Unclogging
Manhole unclogging in Zeytinburnu often begins with a wet ring around the edge of the cover or with water backing up from a ground-floor sink. These signs alone do not tell you whether the blockage is in the manhole or in the building's own line. So we first open the cover, look into the chamber and talk through the cause with you.
A manhole is a covered inspection chamber where the building's lines meet, and water passing through it should not normally collect there. If the chamber starts to fill, one of the lines is blocked. At Cantley we clear the outlet line with a motorised drain snake, then wash the chamber and the connected pipes with high-pressure water jetting. Finally, we film the outlet line with a CCTV drain camera and check with you that it is clear.
Manhole problems in Zeytinburnu vary by building type
Around Merkezefendi and Seyitnizam the buildings are packed closely together and the streets are narrow. Small garment workshops in basements use their toilets and floor drains all day, and fabric dust and thread end up in the line. Basements sit lower than the main line in the street, so when the shared line blocks, these workshops are the first to be affected. Once the line is clear, we talk with the business owner about what can be done against backflow.
Around Kazlıçeşme and Telsiz, renovated buildings and new housing complexes stand out. In a new multi-storey residence, the joint between the building outlet and the old connection in the street can be weak. If a shower on the entrance floor is backing up, the shared line and the manhole need to be checked together. That is why in Zeytinburnu we look with the camera first and work out whether the problem is inside the building or in the street.
Frequently asked questions
What should I do if a manhole is overflowing in Zeytinburnu?
If the manhole is overflowing or ground-floor drains are backing up, call us without waiting. Forcing the line yourself, opening the cover to look inside or pouring in a chemical drain opener is risky, because splashing and dangerous fumes can build up in a closed chamber.
Why does the blockage come back after the manhole has been cleared?
Even when the manhole is cleaned, the blockage returns if the outlet line has root intrusion, a break or a collapse. That is why at the end of the job we look at the outlet line with a camera and share the footage with you.
Is a rotten egg smell from a manhole dangerous?
A strong rotten egg smell should be taken seriously, because it shows that waste water is standing in the chamber and the line may be blocked. Do not open the cover yourself. Keep children and pets away and call us.
