Cesspit cleaning
Ramadan Drain CleaningCesspit and manhole cleaning in Shaab
Cesspit and manhole cleaning in Shaab becomes necessary when drainage stops or water rises through the floor of a house or flat. Shaab is a coastal district near the sea, and high humidity and salt in the air affect the manholes and cesspits, speeding up their corrosion.
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
Shaab has many residential flats and few villas, some flats are old and some are new. It is near Sha'ab Park, Sha'ab Leisure Park and the beach, so the district is crowded with residents especially in summer. Cesspits in Shaab are under very high pressure from heavy use, and salt water from the air causes rust inside the manhole walls, so cleaning must be repeated at short intervals to remove the sludge and accumulated deposits.
Shaab sits in Hawalli governorate, a coastal district with many residential flats and cesspits under high usage pressure.
Manholes in Shaab rust faster than in inland districts because salt in the coastal air affects the metals.

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.
