Ramadan Drain CleaningBuilding and complex maintenance in Andalus
Building and complex maintenance in Andalus works on the complex's internal network from the upper storage tanks down to the single or double inspection chamber on the ground floor. Andalus is a newer district with relatively tall buildings on a co-operative society.
Signs across a block
Where a block showsits faults.
A block does not complain from one place. These are the spots that show it first.
01
One flat complains and the rest are fine
When one flat has water coming back and the rest drain normally, the fault sits in its own branch or where that branch joins the shared run, not in the shared run itself.
02
Water standing in the car park
A car park gully sits below street level, so any narrowing shows at once as a pool on the concrete. The cause we see most is grit and dust carried down by car washing and settled in the pot.
03
The tank water changes in summer
A roof tank sitting in the sun heats up, the water standing in it changes in taste and smell, and sediment can settle at the bottom. Residents complain about the water rather than the drains, and the cause is above them.
This area
What setsthis area apart
Andalus sits near the Fourth Ring Road with small villas and mid-rise apartment blocks, and the building stock here is newer than West Abdullah Mubarak. Lines in newer buildings have better layout, risers drop regularly from the roof, and one or two inspection chambers sit on the ground floor near the gate or under shared gardens. Maintenance here focuses on the main roof tank allowing water to drop at proper pressure, and ensuring corridor and flat lines have no sediment or kinks.
Andalus sits in Farwaniya governorate, a newer district with mid to high-rise buildings.
Lines in Andalus are mostly modern plastic pipes, and ground-floor chambers sit higher than in older districts.
The work in short
What we cover ina block.
Service
Water and drainage network upkeep for a whole building
Where it applies
Residential blocks, complexes and buildings with several entrances

Method
Chambers opened in order, drain rods, and a tanker when suction is needed
Coverage
All six governorates and the areas inside them
The round
From the roofto the car park.
We start at the top and work down, because what happens above shows up below.
We start at the tank and pump
We open the tank, look at the water and any sediment in the base, and watch the pump while it runs, because weak supply in the flats usually starts here and not at the tap.
We move to the vertical stacks
The stack collecting the bathrooms of the flats above one another reads from the access points and the landing gullies. We listen for water falling at its normal pace, or hesitating before it goes.
We open the yard chambers in order
We open from the chamber nearest the building and move towards the outlet, reading the level in each channel. A full chamber followed by an empty one puts the stoppage exactly between the two.
We finish at the car park
We lift the car park gully grating, clear what has settled in the pot, and check the outlet still sits above the standing water line, because that seal is what keeps odour out of the car park.
Common questions
Questions about Building and complex maintenance in Andalus
That depends on the age of the building, how many flats, and how many residents. We tell you after the first inspection whether you need one, two or more visits, and we focus on corridor and roof lines.
Blockages often happen in horizontal lines under corridors from sediment buildup, and sometimes in risers over time. Maintenance prevents blockages before they start.
