Ramadan Drain CleaningBuilding and complex maintenance in Sulaibikhat
Building and complex maintenance in Sulaibikhat covers residential blocks and adjoining villas near the Gulf. Sulaibikhat is a newly developed zone with modern drainage lines, but they are complex because each residential complex has more than one line.
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
Sulaibikhat is a modern coastal zone along Kuwait's Gulf, with new residential blocks and adjoining villas in contemporary designs. Drainage lines in Sulaibikhat use modern PVC plastic pipes but run deeper than other areas because the ground is close to water level. Each residential complex in Sulaibikhat has one or more inspection chambers, and some have small pumping systems because natural drainage is difficult in low-lying zones. When we work on Sulaibikhat complexes, we confirm the plastic pipes are in good condition and inspection chambers do not leak groundwater into buildings.
Sulaibikhat sits in Kuwait governorate, a modern coastal zone on the Gulf with blocks and villas on low-lying ground.
Low-lying zones in Sulaibikhat sit close to groundwater level, so we must confirm pipes have no leaks allowing groundwater ingress.
The work in short
What we cover ina block.

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 Sulaibikhat
Because Sulaibikhat is on low ground near the Gulf and groundwater is high. Pipes must be deep to drain above groundwater level, otherwise groundwater seeps into the pipes from the side.
It could be a leak from drainage lines or groundwater seeping through foundations if pipes are cracked. We drain the area and inspect the main line and foundations to identify the source.
