Cesspit cleaning
Ramadan Drain CleaningCesspit and manhole cleaning in Bnaidar
Cesspit and manhole cleaning in Bnaidar starts with pumping to drop the level, but a sticky layer stays on the walls and floor until we hand-clean it off. Bnaidar is in Ahmadi governorate, a mixed area of apartment blocks and older houses, all of them built with underground cesspits.
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
Bnaidar has old and new apartment blocks, and the cesspits usually sit under the shared yard or a side passage, with a round iron cover on top. The older flats near the power station and light industrial zones have cesspits that get clogged faster than newer builds because the internal lines get less upkeep. After we pump down with the tanker, we go into the pit and scrub the walls and base with brushes and rods to make sure no hardened crust is blocking the outlet pipes coming out of the cesspit.
Bnaidar sits in Ahmadi governorate, a residential area of apartment blocks and flats in varying sizes, all served by underground cesspits.
Most cesspits in Bnaidar need cleaning roughly once a year because heavy flat occupancy and high usage clogs them quickly.

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 Bnaidar
Yes, no problem even if the cesspit is under the stairs or under a passage. We lift the round cover, pump first, then clean the walls and base. We just need a bit of space to work the rods and brushes.
Pumping removes the water and waste from the pit, but a heavy sticky layer stays stuck to the walls and floor. Cleaning means we go down and scrub and brush the pit inside to remove that layer completely.
