Adalar Sewer Cleaning
The need for sewer cleaning in Adalar often becomes clear at the start of summer: when the drains of a house left empty over winter are used again, kitchen and bathroom water begins to drain slowly. Dried-out water in the traps and grease hardening on the pipe walls look like a minor delay, but this unnoticed narrowing can later turn into flooding in the basement.
At Cantley, we start by inspecting the drain line with a camera, because we cannot choose the right nozzle without knowing what is happening at the pipe joints. The footage shows where debris has built up and whether roots have entered the pipe. We then flush the line from end to end with a high-pressure water jet and check the flow. We do not start clearing a drain without first talking to you at your building about the cause.
The drain line in Adalar's building stock
In Adalar, many of the homes are old wooden mansions, stone buildings or summer houses that fill up only in summer. In these homes the line may have been renewed bit by bit over time, and the transition between old and new pipe is often where debris first builds up. In houses with gardens, the drain often runs into a single manhole, and that manhole easily fills with leaves and pine roots. In buildings close to the sea the gradient is low, so debris moves slowly, and in stormy weather the flow weakens noticeably.
Because the island streets are narrow and steep, we carry the equipment by handcart and choose our machines from lighter models that can be split into parts. On the hilly streets of Büyükada or the inner streets of Heybeliada, this arrangement shapes the plan for the job. A floor drain grate that empties slowly in a shop on a main street and a washbasin that drains late in a flat you have just moved into can often come from the same cause: a narrowed section of the line. That is why the first step is to find that point with a camera.
Frequently asked questions
Why do the drains in a summer house in Adalar slow down at the start of summer?
In a house that is not used over winter, the water in the traps dries out, while the grease and soap left inside the pipe harden and cling to the walls. When the house is used again, new waste builds up on top of this layer and the kitchen or bathroom drain slows down. Inspecting the whole line with a camera shows whether the problem is at the joint between old and new pipe.
Is a camera inspection needed for every blockage?
No, but if a blockage keeps coming back, roots are suspected or there is an unknown branch in the line, we do a camera check first. Based on the footage we decide which nozzle and what pressure to use. This also keeps the risk of damaging the pipe to a minimum.
How often should a building with a shared drain line in Adalar have it cleaned?
We do not tie the frequency to a fixed calendar, and set it according to the building's line. The sand and leaves coming from garden and car park drains, the condition of the joints and past blockages are assessed together. At the end we explain the condition of the line and the maintenance interval, and leave a short note for the management.
