Bağcılar PVC Drain Pipe Unclogging

Can Bağcılar PVC drain pipe unclogging be done without breaking the wall? In Bağcılar this is the question we hear most often, from families in older apartment buildings and from small basement workshops alike. Most of the time the answer is yes, because we can clear the pipe without breaking anything, first finding the blockage with a camera.

The plastic drain pipe is known locally as pimaş and is used in many buildings because it is light. It is far more delicate than metal pipe, and with the wrong tool it can crack or leak at a joint. At Cantley, we first inspect the pipe diameter and the joints on site and explain the cause to you, then we clear the drain.

PVC drain pipe blockages in older Bağcılar apartment buildings

Most of Bağcılar is made up of attached apartment blocks built in the 1980s and 1990s. In these buildings, bathrooms and kitchens added later increase the amount of waste going to the base of the shared stack.

In the warehouses and business centres of Güneşli and Mahmutbey, the shared toilet and tea-point drains are the spots under the most strain. In a basement workshop the drain sits below the street line, so blockage and backflow can appear at the same time. That is why we check both the line and the shared stack together.

Frequently asked questions

Do you need to break the wall for Bağcılar PVC drain pipe unclogging?

In most cases you do not. We find the blockage with a camera and clear it with a head chosen to suit the pipe diameter. Keeping the rotation speed low prevents scratching of the PVC and strain on the bends. If a damaged section turns up, we keep the replacement limited to that spot only.

What happens if I pour boiling water down a PVC drain pipe?

Boiling water can soften PVC and loosen the joints, so lukewarm tap water is enough for a blockage. Chemical drain openers also sit in the pipe and wear down the seals and glued joints, so it is safer to avoid them.

What should be done in Bağcılar if a basement workshop gets blocked?

First the location of the blockage needs to be found with a camera, because water can come back up in a drain that sits lower than the street line. If the workshop shares a stack with the upper floors, checking the stack as well reduces the chance of it happening again. If thread and fabric dust build up, regular line cleaning and a backflow valve check should also be added to the plan.
