Adalar Sewer Line Unclogging
Sewer line unclogging in Adalar often starts with the district's older buildings: wooden mansions, stone houses and summer homes, where the drain lines have been renewed piece by piece over the years. In houses left closed over winter, the water in the traps dries out, and the grease and soap in the pipes harden.
When the house is opened at the start of summer and guests arrive, the kitchen and bathroom drains often slow down one after another. That is usually a sign that it is time to look at the whole line rather than force a single drain. We start with the camera, checking the point where the old pipe joins the new PVC drain pipe. We then explain what we see and which method we will use to clear it, and we make the decision together with you.
Sewer line unclogging on Adalar's steep streets and in houses with gardens
Equipment is carried by hand or on a handcart to the hills of Büyükada and the inner streets of Heybeliada, because no truck can pull up to the door. For this reason we work in Adalar with light machines that can be split into parts. On islands where motor vehicle traffic is restricted, planning the job starts with how the equipment will be carried to the street.
In houses with gardens, the drain is often connected to a manhole in the garden, and this manhole can fill up with leaves, soil or pine roots. In houses by the sea, the line has little slope, so sediment moves slowly and the flow weakens badly in stormy weather. In both cases, first seeing with the camera which section of the line the build-up sits in helps avoid unnecessary digging.
Frequently asked questions
How can I tell if the sewer is blocked in Adalar?
The clearest sign is waste water rising from the ground-floor toilet or shower drain whenever water is used on the upper floors. If your neighbours on other floors say their drains slowed down on the same days, the problem is in the shared line. A sewer smell that lingers in the basement or stairwell also shows that waste building up in the main line has started to rot.
In a sewer blockage, is the building or İSKİ responsible?
The line that runs inside the building and through its plot belongs to the residents and the management, and clearing and repairing it is their job. The main network in the street is İSKİ's responsibility. If the last manhole of the building is empty but the street chamber is full, İSKİ should be notified. Residents should not work on the network themselves.
Is it right to pour chemical drain opener into a blocked sewer?
Pouring in chemical drain opener is usually not recommended. The product can fail to dissolve the blockage fully, stay in the pipe joints or at the old-to-PVC transition, and damage the pipe. When residue stays inside the line, a camera inspection afterwards also becomes harder.
