Ramadan Drain CleaningBuilding and complex maintenance in Sabahiya
Complex maintenance in Sabahiya covers a complete drainage network from the roof tanks to the main road. Sabahiya is an older residential area in Ahmadi with tightly packed blocks, some sharing lines, so the network within the area is a bit intricate.
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
Sabahiya blocks were built close together with no major gaps, so old sewer lines connect more than one block to a single line. The inspection chamber sits in the shared passage between blocks or under an internal street. The foundation is old concrete, so there may be cracks in the line itself or at joints. We open the chamber, inspect the line visually first, then use rods carefully to avoid widening any cracks.
Sabahiya is in Ahmadi governorate, an older residential area of tightly packed blocks with shared drainage lines between buildings.
Shared sewer lines in Sabahiya need regular pressure testing because old cracks may leak seepage water into the foundation.
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 Sabahiya
We must test the whole line from the inspection chamber to the main line in the street. More than one building may be affected and no one has told you yet. We open the first chamber, then move to the second one if it exists.
We open the inspection chamber and look for water inside the line or seepage on the sides. If the seepage is at the joint, the fitting needs disconnecting, cleaning and retightening. If the crack is in the pipe itself, we must tell the building it may need pipe replacement.
