Ramadan Drain CleaningBuilding and complex maintenance in Qosor
Building and complex maintenance in Qosor requires deep knowledge of extensive drainage networks beneath a mix of older and newer residential towers. Qosor is densely populated, with multiple inspection chambers and tall sewage risers, and we service the entire network from tank to outer sump.
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
Qosor has older and newer buildings side by side. Older towers typically have one central riser with narrow horizontal lines, while new blocks have multiple risers and wider distribution. Inspection chambers in Qosor run deeper because lines converge at one point before reaching the main street. Older buildings may have old ceramic pipes instead of modern plastic, so we work carefully during blockage clearance to avoid cracking the pipe. Below some buildings there is an underground chamber or even an old sump still connected to the network, so we check and clean those too.
Qosor is a densely populated residential district in southern Mubarak Al-Kabeer governorate with multi-storey buildings and complex drainage networks.
Lines in older Qosor buildings are narrower than in modern towers and may be made from older materials such as clay pipe.
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
The points
Inspection chambers, manholes, car park gullies, roof tanks and pumps
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 Qosor
Clay pipe is brittle and breaks easily under heavy pressure. With plastic we can use heavier rods and more force. With clay we use thinner rods and lighter pressure to avoid shattering the pipe.
Narrow horizontal lines and old pipes accumulate sediment faster than modern systems. Over time, old pipes corrode from inside and narrow further, so any additional load quickly blocks them.
