# Avcılar Pipe Unclogging

Source: https://cantleyvidanjoraltyapi.com/en/avcilar-pipe-unclogging/

If the water in your sink drains a little more slowly each morning in an older Avcılar apartment building, it may be the first sign that you need pipe unclogging in Avcılar. In a small workshop in the same building, the problem may go unnoticed until the drain stops completely.

When we arrive at your address, the first question is what the pipe is made of, before what the blockage is. The same symptom can have very different causes in a PVC elbow, a rusted cast iron stack or a garden drain line. We find the position of the blockage with a camera, talk through the cause with you, and only then start clearing the drain.

## Avcılar's older apartment buildings and student flats

In Avcılar, apartment blocks from the 1980s stand next to buildings that were renovated after the 1999 earthquake. Grease and hair build up quickly in the narrow PVC drain pipes of older buildings. In multi-storey blocks the stacks are shared, so a blockage in one flat can affect the whole block. That is why we also check the condition of the stack in buildings in Ambarlı, Firuzköy, Denizköşkler and the centre.

In student flats, the most common causes of blockages are grease poured into the kitchen sink, hair and soap in the bathroom, and wet wipes in the toilet. In cafés and restaurants in the centre, greasy kitchen drains come up most often. In the flat areas near Küçükçekmece Lake, when the street line fills up in heavy rain, fitting a backflow valve alongside clearing the drain often stops the water coming back.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I pour chemical drain opener down a blocked sink in Avcılar?

We recommend that you do not pour in chemical drain opener. In old metal and cast iron pipes it may not dissolve the rust crust, and can instead eat into the thinned pipe wall and speed up perforation. Trying to dismantle or force the drain can also damage the connection. If you describe the situation by phone or on WhatsApp, we can start with a camera inspection if needed.

### Do you use a camera for pipe unclogging?

Yes. When needed, we start the job with the camera, and we do not run the motorised machine without seeing inside the pipe. From the footage we identify the position of the blockage and the type of pipe, and choose the head accordingly. After clearing, we watch the line again by camera and go over the result with you.

### Can a cast iron stack in an old apartment building be cleared?

In most cases yes, but whether the clearing lasts depends on the condition inside the pipe. In a cast iron stack we remove the rust crust with a motorised drain snake at low speed, moving forward while we watch the resistance. If the footage shows a collapse, a crack or crushing, we tell you the clearing will only be temporary and recommend replacing just the damaged section.
