Adalar Blocked Drain Clearing
The need for blocked drain clearing in Adalar is most often noticed when the kitchen sink starts draining slowly. If the bathroom washbasin also sends dirty water back at the start of summer, the first thought is to take off the trap, yet the problem is often somewhere else in the pipework.
At Cantley, we start by finding out which part of the pipework the blockage is sitting in. The same symptom can come from the trap, from the pipe inside the wall, from the shared stack or from the pipe leading out to the street line. The team first looks inside the line with a camera, explains the cause, and then clears the drain.
How Adalar's old houses and narrow streets affect the drain line
Most buildings in Adalar are old wooden mansions, stone houses and summer homes. The joints where new PVC drain pipe is connected to old cast iron or clay pipe are where sediment builds up first. In houses with gardens, the drain often connects to a manhole, and the manhole can fill with leaves or pine roots.
Narrow, steep streets also shape how the work is planned. On the hills of Büyükada or in the inner streets of Heybeliada, vehicles cannot get up to the door, so we work with light machines that can be taken apart. In buildings with a basement, a typical situation for site management is that, at the start of summer, water use on the upper floors brings dirty water back up through the basement drain. In this case, watching the shared stack with a camera lets you base the decision on footage, not guesswork.
Frequently asked questions
If a sink drains slowly in Adalar, is it right to take off the trap straight away?
No. Taking off the trap only helps when the blockage is in the trap or in the elbow right behind it. If the bathroom washbasin, shower and washing machine have all slowed down together, the blockage is in the connection pipe inside the wall, and taking off the trap will not reach it.
Is a chemical drain opener enough to clear a drain?
No. A chemical opener often does not clear the blockage fully, and it can be risky to use. Chemical left in the pipe can be dangerous for you and also makes it harder to inspect the line with a camera.
What should I do if a manhole overflows in Adalar?
The first thing is to warn the other residents in the building without going down into the manhole, because toxic gas may be present. If the drains in the basement and on the ground floor overflow at the same time, the blockage is most likely at the building's outlet, and describing the situation by phone is enough.
