# Arnavutköy No-Dig Drain Unclogging

When we arrive for no-dig drain unclogging in Arnavutköy, we start by running the drains one by one and seeing where the water stops. Instead of breaking into a wall on a guess, we look inside the pipe with a camera that has its own light and show you the position of the blockage on the screen.

In the past, the first thought with a blocked drain was to break open the place where the pipe ran. That meant a dusty renovation, and often the wrong spot was opened. Today most blockages are reached through the drain opening, a cleaning access cover or the manhole. Most blockages come from grease, hair and soap that build up inside, and the pipe itself is often still sound. A robot head and pressurised water scrape this deposit off along the length of the pipe, so in most cases there is no need to break the wall.

## Why drains are different in Arnavutköy

Arnavutköy has grown with the Istanbul Airport, and in the first years of new housing complexes, cement slurry and pieces of mortar left over from construction can settle in the main line. In old village houses the kitchen and bathroom drains may have been added later, and on lines with too little fall, greasy water can cool on its way and stick to the pipe. The manhole cover is also often buried under the soil.

In the workshops and warehouses around Hadımköy, greasy water from a canteen and the fine dust of the production area can meet in the same line. In houses with gardens in places like Taşoluk and Bolluca, outdoor drains carry soil and gravel that arrive with the rain, and roots can also get into old pipes. A family living in an older block of flats may notice the washbasin and the shower in the bathroom slowing down at the same time, while an office in a business centre may find a blockage in the shared line where the floor drains join. This is why we start most jobs in the district with a camera. At warehouses and factories, keeping a sketch that shows where the manhole chambers are ready will speed up the work.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is it possible to clear a blocked drain in Arnavutköy without breaking the wall?

In most blockages it is, because the problem is usually the deposit that has built up inside the pipe. We clear the drain with a snake or a robot machine. In cases where breaking really is necessary, for example if the pipe is crushed or the fall has reversed, we show you this on the footage.

### What if I cannot find the manhole?

If you cannot find the manhole, we follow the line with the camera and work out the connections ourselves. Because the camera enters the pipe through the drain, you do not need to dig up the ground.

### What should I do if the blockage keeps coming back?

If a drain you cleared with a plunger blocks again after short intervals, you need to look deeper into the line with a camera. A robot head and pressurised water scrape off the layer of grease and limescale on the pipe wall. In the meantime, do not pour in a chemical drain opener, because it can damage the pipe and the seals.
