# Avcılar Shower and Bathtub Drain Unclogging

When we are called out for shower and bathtub drain unclogging in Avcılar, the first thing the team does on arrival is open the shower strainer or the bathtub outlet and look at what has built up inside. The clump of hair you can see on top may be only one part of the blockage, so we never start work on the drain before sharing the cause with you.

The bathroom is one of those places where a blockage builds up unnoticed: a little hair and soap goes down with every shower and collects inside the pipe. In most flats the shower, bathtub and floor drains are connected to the same line, so when the water stops in one, the others are affected too. Cantley clears the line with a motorised drain snake and a robotic machine without touching your tiles, and uses high-pressure water jetting to remove the hard layer on the pipe wall.

## Why bathroom drains in Avcılar share one line

In Avcılar, older apartment buildings, buildings renovated after the earthquake and new redevelopment blocks stand side by side. In older buildings the lines can be narrow and lack enough slope, while in newer ones the problem usually comes from how the drains are used.

Because the blocks are tall and share a common stack, a blockage in one flat can show up in the neighbour downstairs. If the shower and the floor drain are slowing down together in a ground-floor flat, we check the stack first. In an office bathroom in a business centre in Avcılar, built-up soap residue can pile up in the trap and cause a smell.

## Frequently asked questions

### What should I do first when my bathroom drain is blocked in Avcılar?

First, stop sending more water down the drain, then lift the strainer cover and remove the clump of hair you can see on top by hand. Do not use a chemical drain opener, because it can heat up the pipe and risk a leak, and it makes it harder to tell what the blockage is. If the blockage persists, we will come to your address and look at the cause together first.

### Do tiles get broken when a bathroom drain is unclogged?

In most cases the work is done without breaking tiles, because the blockage is reached and removed through the strainer, the trap or the shared line. For a shower trap we go in with a fine-tipped snake, and for a bathtub we remove the plug mechanism and the overflow cover to take out the build-up.

### Can a bathroom blockage in my Avcılar flat affect my neighbour?

Yes, in tall buildings with a shared stack, a blockage in one flat can also be felt in the drain downstairs. That is why we check the stack before unclogging the drain and, if needed, check your neighbour's drain too.
