Ataşehir Kitchen Sink Unclogging

Ataşehir kitchen sink unclogging requests often start with the same question: why is the water in the sink draining slowly? A sink where water sits around your hands while you wash up is usually a sign of grease and solid waste building up inside the pipe. Cleaning the trap yourself can be a first step, but if the grease has moved on into the horizontal line inside the wall, the problem stays where it is.

We start by looking at the problem on site. We look inside the pipe with a camera, find where the blockage is and explain the cause to you. Then we move on to unclogging the drain: we check the trap and the machine connection and open the line with a motorised drain snake. If needed, we use a robotic machine and high-pressure water jetting to scrape the grease off the pipe wall and flush it out. At Cantley we work the same way whether the job is a home kitchen or a restaurant's dishwashing line.

Older blocks and plaza kitchens in Ataşehir

In Ataşehir, housing blocks built in the 1990s stand next to new residence towers. In older blocks the inside of the shared stack can be narrowed and sediment can build up in the horizontal connections. That is why grey water from a sink can come back up in a flat on a lower floor. Around Kayışdağı and İçerenköy, old and renovated buildings sit side by side, and trouble often starts where old pipe meets new PVC drain pipe.

A family living in an older apartment building assumes the problem is in their own flat when the sink slows down. Yet grease in the shared stack can also raise the question of which line belongs to whom. In a shop on the high street, the problem comes from the dishwashing line: after a busy service, grease and coffee grounds build up, and slow draining gets worse quickly. In these buildings we check the layout of the line with the camera, and building management is told in advance which flats should not use water while the work is under way.

Frequently asked questions

My sink drains slowly in Ataşehir. Can I do the kitchen sink unclogging myself?

Taking the trap apart and cleaning the greasy sludge out of it can work as a first step, but it only affects the part under the sink. If grease has hardened further along the pipe, the water will still drain slowly. We do not recommend a chemical drain opener, because it can damage the pipe and can lead to a risky mixture.

Who is responsible when the shared kitchen stack is blocked in Ataşehir?

A blockage in the shared stack is usually a main line problem that needs to be handled together with building management. If greasy water is rising in your neighbour's sink, it shows that the line is shared. The camera recording helps make clear which section belongs to whom, so it is a good idea to inform management first.

How often should a restaurant's dishwashing line be cleaned?

It depends on how busy the business is, how well the grease trap is maintained and how long the line is. For most businesses, a regular cleaning plan causes fewer problems than calling only when the line blocks. After the cleaning, we show you with the camera whether the line is clean, and we set the time of the next cleaning together.
