Adalar Kitchen Sink Unclogging
When a house is opened up at the start of summer and guests arrive, water standing at the bottom of the sink is usually the moment kitchen sink unclogging in Adalar comes up. In a home that has sat unused for a long time, the water in the trap evaporates, the grease in the pipe hardens, and the problem shows itself with the first load of washing-up.
On Büyükada, when a small workshop's sink slows down over the lunch break, people want a fix without stopping work. On Heybeliada, a flat owner who has just moved in finds the kitchen drain blocked while unpacking boxes. Cantley first checks the trap and the appliance connection, then shows you on camera where the layer of grease sits. Once you know the cause, we decide together which method to use to clear it.
Why kitchen drains block in Adalar's older houses
Most houses in Adalar are wooden mansions, stone buildings or summer homes that are only opened in the warm months. In these houses the drain line may have been renewed piece by piece over time. The point where old clay pipe meets a new PVC connection is where sediment tends to catch first.
The islands are reached by sea and motor vehicle traffic is restricted, so on Büyükada's steep streets or Heybeliada's narrow lanes equipment is carried by hand. That is why we work with light machines that can be split into parts. In houses with gardens, the drain often runs to a manhole in the garden, and leaves and pine roots can fill it. In seaside houses the fall is slight, so sediment moves along slowly.
Frequently asked questions
What should I do first at home when my kitchen sink blocks in Adalar?
Pour lukewarm tap water into the sink and watch how it drains, but do not use boiling water. Do not use a chemical drain opener either: it may leave grease in the pipe without fully dissolving it, and it can damage both the plumbing and you. Do not try to take the trap apart yourself, because if the seal is refitted wrongly it can leak.
What steps does kitchen sink unclogging involve?
We start by checking the trap and the dishwasher line, and the greasy sludge inside is cleared out. If the trap is not enough, a path is opened with a motorised drain snake, then the grease on the pipe wall is scraped off with robotic attachments and washed away with high-pressure water. Finally the inside of the pipe is inspected with a camera and the sink is tested.
If greasy water is rising in my neighbour's sink, is the problem in my flat?
Usually not. In this case the problem is generally in the shared kitchen stack, and cleaning the trap in a single flat will not fix it. If water rises in your neighbour's sink while you are using yours, you need to act together with building management. The horizontal section of the stack is inspected by camera so it becomes clear where the problem is.
