# Arnavutköy Sewer Line Unclogging

The question we hear most often about Arnavutköy sewer line unclogging is this: if water comes back up through a ground-floor toilet, is the problem in one flat or in the building's shared line? Most of the time it is the shared line, because water coming back up usually means the main line is blocked.

A tenant on the ground floor sees foul-smelling water rising from the bathroom floor drain and calls the landlord, who may not know whose responsibility it is. Who the line belongs to decides whose approval is needed for the work. We first inspect the problem at the building and talk through the cause with you, then we clear the drain.

## Why do building drains behave differently in Arnavutköy?

New housing complex blocks and old village houses stand side by side in the district. In housing complexes, construction debris can settle in the main line and cause blockages in the first years. In village houses, kitchen and bathroom drains added later may be connected to the garden manhole by lines with too little fall.

In the workshops and warehouses around Hadımköy, canteen wastewater and rainwater can end up in the same line. In the houses with gardens in Taşoluk and Bolluca, soil and gravel get in through the outdoor drains, and roots can work their way into old pipes. In village houses the manhole cover is sometimes buried under soil, so finding it may be the first job.

## Frequently asked questions

### What should I do first if water comes back up through the ground-floor toilet in Arnavutköy?

First check whether the flats above and your neighbours also have slow drains. If more than one flat shows the same symptom, the problem is in the shared line. Pouring in a chemical opener can damage the pipe and makes the camera inspection harder. Do not try to remove the toilet yourself.

### Can the line still be cleared if the manhole cover cannot be found?

Yes. Even if we cannot find the cover, we can follow the line with the camera and locate the connection points one by one. The camera shows on screen whether the blockage is mortar, roots or a collapse, so it becomes clear where to work.

### Who should I tell if the blockage comes from the street network?

The main network in the street is İSKİ's responsibility, while the line running through the building is the responsibility of the residents and management. If water drains freely in the building's own manholes but backs up on the side leading to the street, the blockage is more likely to be in the network. In that case do not intervene yourself, and report the situation to İSKİ.
