When our team arrives at your address for Ataşehir blocked drain clearing, the first thing we do, before opening the blockage, is look at the mouth of the drain and work out where the problem actually sits. The same symptom can come from the trap, the connection pipe, the shared stack or the building's outlet line. Work done at the wrong point leaves the blockage where it is, and after a while the same problem comes back in a bigger form.

At Cantley we first listen to how the problem started, then watch the inside of the line with a camera. The footage shows whether the blockage is a hard object or a grease deposit, and that decides which machine we use. We clear solid blockages with a motorised drain snake or a robot machine, and for grease and sludge we wash the line with high-pressure water jetting. When the job is done, we test every drain in turn and explain the cause to you plainly, along with any lasting defect we have found.

## Blockages in Ataşehir's older blocks and residences

In Ataşehir, housing blocks built in the 1990s stand side by side with residence towers that went up later. In the older blocks the inner surface of the stacks may have narrowed over time, and deposits may have built up in the horizontal connections. In Kayışdağı and İçerenköy, older apartment buildings and renovated ones sit together, so the points where old and new pipe meet are where problems most often begin.

Picture a tenant on the ground floor who sees dirty water rising from the shower drain in the morning and calls the landlord. At first nobody knows whether the problem is in the flat or in the shared stack. The camera recording shows between which floors the blockage lies and which line belongs to whom, so the tenant and the landlord can look at the same footage.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I clear a blocked drain myself in Ataşehir?

If the blockage is small and sits in the trap or just behind it, you can try cleaning the strainer by hand and flushing with warm tap water. Do not use chemical drain openers, as they can damage the pipe and carry a splash risk. If more than one drain is affected, or water is rising from the floors above, leave the job to the team rather than forcing it.

### Can the symptoms tell me whether the blockage is in the trap or the stack?

Yes, the symptoms give a good clue about which section the blockage may be in. If only a single drain is running slowly, the blockage is usually in the trap, and if several drains are affected together, the connection pipe is the likely cause. If dirty water rises from the shower or toilet when you are not using any water, the blockage is most probably in the shared stack.

### What should I do if a manhole overflows in Ataşehir?

First, do not go down into the manhole. Then stop using water from the drains in the building and call the team. If water is collecting around the manhole cover and the basement and ground floor drains slow down at the same time, the blockage may be in the building's outlet line. Going down into a manhole is a serious danger, because toxic gas may be present inside.
