Cesspit cleaning
Ramadan Drain CleaningCesspit and manhole cleaning in Abbasiya
Pits and risers in Abbasiya need pumping first, but pumping alone is not enough. A layer of silt, sediment and grease remains on the base and walls, and that layer is what causes the smells and blockages later.
Signs it needs it
When pumping aloneis not enough.
These are the signs that a chamber needs washing rather than another level drop.
01
The smell outlasts the pumping
The level came down and the lines run again, but the smell around the cover stays. What produces it is the layer stuck to the walls, and that does not come out with the water because it neither floats nor pours.
02
A hard crust on the surface
Lifting the cover to find a bound layer sitting on the water instead of a liquid surface says the chamber has gone a long time without cleaning, and that pumping alone will pass under it and leave it there.
03
The pipe mouth looks narrowed
The inlet or outlet mouth reads smaller than its real bore, or its rim is coated with deposit. A narrowed mouth means the chamber fills again quickly however much is pumped out of it.
This area
What setsthis area apart
Abbasiya is a Farwaniya residential area with both old and newer apartment buildings side by side, and shared pits sit under the street or the building courtyard. Risers from older flats are sometimes narrower than new ones, and silt and limescale build up quickly. After pumping we spray the walls with controlled-pressure water, and check that pipes from bottom to top are clear and drain normally.
Abbasiya sits in Farwaniya governorate, a mixed residential area of old and new apartment buildings.
Shared pits in Abbasiya are often sited at around two metres depth below street level.

How we clean
From the cover tothe wash down.
Four steps, and the order matters so nothing we lifted goes back down.
We open and skim the top
The round cover comes off and the surface layer is taken first, because letting it drop as the level falls would lodge it in a pipe mouth and make a new problem.
We take the level to the base
The level comes down in stages until the base and the channel show. Nothing is cleaned while water still covers the wall, because you cannot tell what is stuck from what is merely wet.
We scrape walls and benching
The bound layer is scraped off the wall and off the benching around the channel, then washed down from the top so everything released runs straight into the channel.
We check the mouths and close
Inlet and outlet are checked clean at their full bore, then water is run from inside the house and watched crossing the channel before the cover goes back on.
Common questions
Questions about Cesspit and manhole cleaning in Abbasiya
We contact all buildings if there is active drainage during cleaning. We pump first, then spray the walls, and ask them to avoid heavy drainage for a bit while we finish.
Abbasiya has a mix of old and new flats, but most shared pits need a full cleaning once a year or slightly less often if usage is heavy.
