Adalar Channel Drain Unclogging

For channel drain unclogging in Adalar, the crew's first step on arrival is to lift the grates and look inside the channel. Nobody works on the drain until it is clear whether the blockage comes from rainwater or from the connected pipe line. Once the cause has been explained to you, you decide together which method will be used to clear it.

If the garden channel of a ground-floor flat does not drain after rain, the problem is often somewhere along the line it connects to. In front of a shop on a main street, a layer of grease and wash water may be the real cause of the blockage. A camera inspection tells the two cases apart, and the method is chosen accordingly.

Channel drain unclogging in Adalar, based on the conditions of island buildings

Most buildings in Adalar are old wooden mansions, stone houses and summer homes that are only occupied in summer. In houses with gardens, the drain usually connects to a manhole in the garden, and this manhole can fill up with leaves, soil and pine roots. Sediment builds up first where old pipes meet newer joints, and in houses that stay closed over winter, blockages show up in early summer when the line is put back into use.

The steep, narrow streets on the islands decide how the equipment is carried. On the hills of Büyükada and in the inner streets of Heybeliada, machines are taken up by hand and on hand carts, so we work with light devices that can be split into parts. On lines by the sea the slope is shallow, so sediment moves along slowly.

Frequently asked questions

What does the crew do first when clearing a channel drain in Adalar?

The crew first lifts the grates, looks at the bottom of the channel and the connected pipe line, and tells you what they see. The unclogging method is chosen together after this inspection.

What should I do if the garden manhole empties slowly?

In this case the best step is to have it looked at early, without forcing the channel. Pouring boiling water or a chemical opener into the manhole can damage the pipe joints and harm your skin.

Why does the blockage come back in the same place after the channel is cleared?

Behind a blockage that keeps returning in the same spot there is often a collapsed, broken or separated pipe at a joint. Flushing alone does not fix this defect, and the inside of the pipe has to be checked with a camera.
