# Ataşehir Channel Drain Unclogging

Source: https://cantleyvidanjoraltyapi.com/en/atasehir-channel-drain-unclogging/

The first step in channel drain unclogging in Ataşehir is understanding the structure of the building and when the line was laid. Narrowed shared stacks in older blocks and the long vertical lines in new residences produce the same problem in very different places.

At Cantley, we first inspect the problem at the address and explain the cause to you. Then we look inside the pipe with a camera to find the blockage, and clear the line with a motorised drain snake or high-pressure water jetting. Talking through what blocked the drain and why, before we clear it, reduces repeat problems at the same spot. We work 24/7 across the districts of Istanbul.

## How Ataşehir's building stock affects channel drain lines

In housing blocks built in the 1990s, the inside surface of the shared stacks may have narrowed and sediment may have built up in the horizontal connections. Ground-floor residents seeing water from the upper floors come back up in their own sink is a common situation in these blocks. In Kayışdağı and İçerenköy, older apartment buildings and renovated ones stand side by side, so most problems appear where the old pipe meets the new PVC drain pipe. When flat owners ask which line belongs to whom, the camera recording settles the discussion.

In the office towers around the İstanbul Finans Merkezi, shared kitchen and restaurant wash-up lines narrow with grease and coffee grounds. In residences, long vertical lines and the pumped collection system in the basement make the job more complicated. If a family in a house with a garden notices that water in the manhole is draining slowly, calling us before the grates overflow makes the job easier. A family living on the ground floor of an older apartment building, on the other hand, may see a blockage that started in the flat above as an overflow in their own drain.

## Frequently asked questions

### What should I do if water stays on the grate after rain in Ataşehir?

First check whether the water drains away once the downpour has eased. If it does not, the bottom of the channel or the connected pipe may be full. If you can see dark sludge through the gaps in the grate, the problem is most likely there. Do not pour chemical opener into the channel: it can damage the pipe material and it also hides the location of the blockage. Call us instead and describe the situation.

### Why does the car park ramp turn into a pond when it rains?

Most of the time the cross channel under the ramp has narrowed, because it carries all the water coming down from above on its own. The water collects at the foot of the ramp, spreads into the car park and can rise as high as the tyres of the vehicles. In covered car parks the same water can also reach the lift shaft and the electrical panels, so the channel needs to be cleared without waiting.

### Is a camera used when the channel is cleared?

Yes. Before the work starts, a camera is sent into the pipe and the location of the blockage is identified. If the blockage keeps coming back or there is a collapse in the garden, the line is also checked with the camera after it has been cleared. The recording is shared with your management, and if a repair is needed, the options are explained using this footage.
