Ramadan Drain CleaningBuilding and complex maintenance in Sawaber
Building and complex maintenance in Sawaber focuses on dense residential towers near the city centre. Sawaber has tall towers with dozens of flats and families, and each tower has multiple drainage stacks and complex shared underground lines.
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
Sawaber towers are fairly modern but densely occupied, putting high pressure on the drainage network. Each tower has one or more stacks, and the main line collects from several towers and runs under the street. We measure dampness below ground and check the street inspection chambers before moving up the tower. Car parks and corridors between towers are very tight, so we position the tanker away and carry the hose in sections.
Sawaber is in Kuwait City governorate, a complex of tall residential towers served by a central drainage network.
One tower in Sawaber can hold over a hundred flats, and the main line runs deep beneath the street.
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 Sawaber
We test water flow from one flat on the ground floor and the roof. If all drains are slow, the blockage is usually in the stack itself or under the street. We open the street inspection chambers first before we start clearing inside the tower.
If the blockage is only inside one tower, the neighbours stay unaffected. But if the shared line under the street is blocked, all towers feeding into it suffer, and we have to clear the main line.
