Ataşehir Sewer Line Unclogging
The question we hear most often with sewer line unclogging in Ataşehir is why waste water comes back up through the ground-floor toilet. When a building's main line blocks, the drains on every floor are affected at the same time, so instead of guessing where the problem is, it needs to be inspected on site.
First we check the building's main line and the manholes one after another to narrow down which section holds the blockage. Then we look inside the pipe with a camera and, together with the management representative, see the state of the roots, grease build-up or collapse. In the final step we clear the line with a motorised drain snake and high-pressure water jetting, then check the flow at the last manhole and finish the job as far as the street connection.
Older blocks and new residences in Ataşehir
In the district, housing blocks built in the 1990s stand alongside residences that went up later. In older blocks the inner surface of the shared stacks may have narrowed, and sediment may have built up in the horizontal connections. In Kayışdağı and İçerenköy, where older apartment buildings and renovated ones sit together, the points where old pipe meets a new line are where problems most often start.
In a newly built multi-storey residence, long vertical runs and a pumped system in the basement make the job more complicated, so before we start we explain the cause to you and put the camera in at the right point. Because a problem in one flat can show up as an overflow in another flat several floors below, we tell the management before the work which flats should not use water. In a café or restaurant near the İstanbul Finans Merkezi, the kitchen drain line narrows quickly with grease and coffee grounds.
Frequently asked questions
How can you tell that the sewer is blocked in Ataşehir?
If waste water is coming back into a ground-floor flat or a basement toilet, the main line may be blocked. If your neighbours say their drains have been slow on the same days, the problem may be in the shared line.
When a sewer is blocked, is the building or İSKİ responsible?
The line running inside the building and across its plot is the responsibility of the management and the residents, while the main network in the street is the responsibility of İSKİ. If the last manhole is empty and the chamber in the street is full, the problem is in the network and should be reported to İSKİ. We make this distinction clear on site with a camera inspection.
How do you know the line is clear once the sewer unclogging is finished?
Water is run from all floors of the building and the flow is checked at the last manhole, and a camera confirms that the line is clear as far as the street connection. If a break or collapse is found, we explain the line renewal options to the management.
