Avcılar Kitchen Sink Unclogging
Many people notice the water draining slowly from the sink while washing up in the evening, and only later learn that Avcılar kitchen sink unclogging goes much deeper than the trap. The problem often lies beyond the trap, in a thickened layer of grease on the cold part of the pipe.
First we look with a camera from under the sink and, if needed, from the shared stack, to see at which section the grease has built up. We share what we find with you on site and decide together which tool to use. Then we clear the line with a motorised drain snake, robotic heads and high-pressure water jetting, stripping the grease away along the length of the pipe.
Kitchen sink drains in Avcılar buildings with a shared stack
Old apartment blocks with narrow lines and new blocks stand side by side in Avcılar. In older buildings the pipes can be prone to grease build-up, while in newer ones the main cause of blockages is day-to-day habits. In multi-storey blocks in Ambarlı, Firuzköy and Denizköşkler, a blockage in one flat can affect the neighbours because of the shared stack.
So when we are called to a flat, we do not stop at the sink. We check the stack too and, if needed, look at the condition of the drain on the floor below. In a detached house or a house with a garden, a long run means finding the blockage with the camera. In a shop on a main street, heavy kitchen use carries grease into the line quickly. In student flats around the Istanbul University Avcılar Campus, when responsibility comes up between tenant and landlord, the camera footage gives both sides a clear picture.
Frequently asked questions
When should a kitchen sink be unclogged in Avcılar?
It is time when water drains slowly from the sink or the sink fills up while the dishwasher empties. If it improves briefly when you run hot water and then slows down again, the grease has not melted.
Is cleaning the trap enough for kitchen sink unclogging?
In most cases it is not, because the trap is only the first stop. If the line is greasy, the layer of grease stays inside the pipe even once the water starts to flow.
What should I do if greasy water appears in a neighbour's sink in Avcılar?
You should inform the building management, because in this case the problem is most likely in the shared stack. Clearing the trap of a single flat will not solve it, so ask for the stack to be inspected with a camera.
