Cesspit cleaning
Ramadan Drain CleaningCesspit and manhole cleaning in Anjafa
Cesspit and manhole cleaning in Anjafa requires complete water removal first, then stripping the thick layer of grease and sediment from the walls and base. Anjafa is a Hawalli residential area with a mix of flats and villas, and its cesspits are of medium depth with a mix of grease and silt.
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
Houses and flats in Anjafa are mixed, single villas and residential blocks side by side. The cesspits are shallow from the villas and relatively deep from the clustered flats. Kitchen grease builds up on the pit walls, especially in flats with large families. We use brushes and sometimes warm water to break down the grease more easily, then inspect the inspection manholes from inside and outside.
Anjafa sits in Hawalli governorate, a mixed residential area with villas and flats sharing cesspits of medium depth.
Anjafa cesspits are more prone to grease blockage than areas with only villas.

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 Anjafa
It depends on the building. Small towers might have two buildings sharing one pit, and large towers might have one or two pits per building. A cesspit shared by four or five flats is less troublesome than one shared by twenty.
Grease cools and hardens once it reaches the pit. Over time it sticks to the walls in layers. The solution is regular cleaning with brushes and water, and reducing the grease going down the drain from the kitchen in the first place.
