Ramadan Drain CleaningBuilding and complex maintenance in Khitan Al-Jadida
The drainage network in Khitan Al-Jadida is complex because the apartment buildings are large and many flats feed into a single riser with secondary stacks. Khitan Al-Jadida is newly built and the structures are high-rise, so each building has drain outlets in the car park, on the roof, and at the external stairs.
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
Khitan Al-Jadida has modern apartment buildings of 12 to 20 storeys, and the structures are tightly packed. Each building has a complex internal distribution network, a roof tank, and sometimes shared roof space with a neighbouring block. Underground car parks need regular checks on all outlets and traps, and the main riser runs deep under the street between buildings. We inspect using different methods depending on the network layout because some lines run horizontally on the roof and others drop vertically for up to 20 metres.
Khitan Al-Jadida sits in Farwaniya governorate, a residential district of modern apartment blocks on a centralised drainage network.
Buildings in Khitan Al-Jadida are connected to one main riser under the street, and the car parks below make checking drain points there require scheduling.

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 Khitan Al-Jadida
Yes, roofs and tanks are part of the network. We go on the roof to check for blockages in horizontal pipes or leaks around the tank base.
We go down to the car park, inspect every outlet and trap, and clean them of sediment. Underground car parks need more care because they are dark and stay damp.
