Avcılar Washbasin Unclogging
On a call for washbasin unclogging in Avcılar, the first thing our team does on arrival is open the trap under the basin and the drain plug and look inside. We do not work on the drain until we have seen why the water is slowing down: a clump of hair and soap, or a problem with the connection in the wall.
In an office building's floor washbasin or a shared office toilet, heavy use through the day builds up paper towel and soap residue in the trap. In a new multi-storey residence, the basins connect to the shared stack, so a blockage in one flat can affect the neighbours' drains too. We check the basin first, then the shared line.
How Avcılar's building stock affects washbasin drains
In Avcılar, apartment blocks from the 1980s, buildings renewed after the 1999 earthquake and new blocks rising through urban renewal stand side by side. In older buildings the narrow lines can have too little slope, while in newer ones the cause of a blockage is often how the drains are used.
In multi-storey buildings with shared stacks, from Ambarlı to Firuzköy and from Denizköşkler to the centre, a blockage in one flat can affect the neighbours as well. So when we are called to a flat, we first ask about the state of the stack and, if needed, check the drain of the neighbour downstairs too. Because of the Istanbul University Avcılar Campus, the district has many student flats; in these, grease poured down the kitchen sink and hair in the bathroom are the most common causes.
Frequently asked questions
How can I reach you for a blocked washbasin in Avcılar?
You can call 0212 923 66 85 directly or write to the same number on WhatsApp. It is enough to say briefly that the basin drains slowly or that there is a smell.
If a washbasin drains slowly, will the blockage clear by itself?
No, a slow basin often stops completely in the end. As the hair and soap collecting under the drain grow, the blockage becomes permanent. We also do not recommend pouring in a chemical drain opener, as it can damage pipes and seals.
What could be the reason if a washbasin keeps blocking in a new building in Avcılar?
When a blockage keeps coming back, the problem is often in the wall line beyond the trap. In that case the camera shows the inside of the line, and if limescale, grease or sediment is found, it is cleared with high-pressure water jetting.
