# Bağcılar Sewer Line Unclogging

When we arrive for sewer line unclogging in Bağcılar, the first job is to open the building's manhole covers, working from the inside out, and check the water levels. This check shows whether the problem comes from a single flat or from the main line of the whole building.

The most common picture we see in Bağcılar is a ground-floor flat where the toilet or sinks drain slowly and then the waste water comes back up. In a detached house with a garden, the problem often hides in the line running through the garden: tree roots or a collapsed section of pipe hold back the water and make the blockage worse. We work in the same order in homes, building management cases, shops, restaurants and offices.

## Shared stacks and main lines in Bağcılar's terraced buildings

Most of Bağcılar's building stock is made up of attached blocks of flats that went up in the 1980s and 1990s. The shared stacks in these buildings were not designed for the load they carry today. Narrow horizontal connections, bathrooms and kitchens added later, and insufficient slope together let sediment build up easily, and the people living on the lowest floor are the first to see the backflow.

In the business centres and warehouses around Güneşli and Mahmutbey, shared toilets and tea kitchens break down often. Thread, fabric dust and dye residue from textile workshops in basements cause a different kind of blockage in the residential lines. For this reason we look for the blockage not in a single flat, but starting from the building outlet and the shared stack.

## Frequently asked questions

### What should I do if water is coming back up in a ground-floor flat in Bağcılar?

First, cut back on water use on the upper floors and let the building management know, because waste water coming back up on the ground floor shows that the main line is blocked. Waiting makes the situation worse quickly. On site, we can narrow down the location of the blockage by opening the manholes one by one.

### Is a blocked main line the responsibility of İSKİ or the building management?

The line running through the building and its plot is the management's responsibility, while the main network in the street is İSKİ's. If the last manhole is empty but the chamber in the street is full, the problem is in the network and it needs to be reported to İSKİ. This distinction prevents an unnecessary application.

### Do I need a camera if there is a sewer smell in a basement shop?

Yes, if there is a constant sewer smell or overflow from the manholes, the inside of the line should be checked with a camera. The smell is sometimes a sign of a broken pipe or a leak. The camera shows whether the blockage is roots, a grease mass or a collapse, and we watch the footage together with the management.
