Adalar Drain Unclogging
Adalar's old wooden mansions, stone houses and summer homes that only fill up in season mean that, before any Adalar drain unclogging starts, we need to understand how the line was built. In these houses the drain pipes are replaced piece by piece over time, and the joint where old cast iron pipe meets new PVC is the first place where deposits build up.
In houses left closed over winter, the water in the traps dries out and the grease and soap in the pipes harden. When guests arrive at the start of summer, kitchen and bathroom drains slow down one after another, or the toilet pushes water back. In this case, a camera inspection of the whole line shows the problem at the transition from old pipe to new.
How drain unclogging works on Adalar's steep streets
Trucks cannot reach the hilltops of Büyükada or the inner streets of Heybeliada, so the equipment is carried up by hand or on a handcart. The same logistics apply when the washbasin in an office in a business building on Adalar slows down, which is why we work with light machines that can be split into parts.
In houses with gardens, the drain usually connects to a manhole in the garden, and that manhole can fill with leaves, soil or pine roots. In seafront houses the slope is slight, so deposits move slowly, and in stormy weather the flow weakens further. When the kitchen drain slows down in an elderly couple's flat on Adalar, the trap is often blamed; once the whole line is checked, the transition between the old pipe and the new connection may turn out to be the real cause.
Frequently asked questions
Which signs are enough to call for drain unclogging in Adalar?
It is right to call us when water drains slowly from the sink or shower tray and stays standing at the drain opening. Drains that slow down one after another after you open the house in summer, or water coming up from a different drain, show that the problem is not in a single trap.
How is the on-site inspection carried out in Adalar?
First we listen to which drains are affected, then we run water through the drains one by one to isolate where the line is blocked. If the blockage is inside a wall, we show you its location on screen with a thin-cable camera. We explain what we will do, and start work once you approve.
Does pouring chemical drain opener down the drain work?
In most cases it does not help, because the opener only touches the buildup in front of the trap. The mixture left in standing water can damage the pipe, and pouring it carries a risk of contact with skin or eyes.
