Cesspit cleaning
Ramadan Drain CleaningCesspit and manhole cleaning in Mishref
Cesspit and manhole cleaning in Mishref starts when you notice water draining slowly or stopping altogether, and the underground cesspit is not working well. Mishref is a district of older apartments and villas compared to newer areas, and its cesspits run deeper because the buildings sit at different levels.
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
Mishref has a mix of residential apartments and single villas, many built in the seventies and eighties, so the cesspits are old and their walls may be cracked. It is near Kuwait University and the shopping centre, and the roads between the blocks are quite narrow, so sometimes we park the tanker on a side street. Manholes here are numerous because the lines are old and maintenance means lifting the round cover and entering to clean the sediment that builds up over years.
Mishref sits in Hawalli governorate, an older residential district with a mix of flats and villas, and deep cesspits.
Cesspits in Mishref are deeper than those in newer areas because the ground has settled over time and older construction did not meet the same standards.

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 Mishref
It depends on how many people live in the house and how much water is used, but usually a flat or villa needs it once or twice a year. If you notice slow drainage, do not wait and call us.
No, we access the cesspit from outside the house and work on the underground chambers. Cleaning removes the sludge that blocks the lines, so after it the drainage runs faster and cleaner.
