Bahçelievler Blocked Drain Clearing
If the kitchen sink drains a little slower every evening while you wash up, you should not put off blocked drain clearing in Bahçelievler. The same symptom can also start in the shared stack or at the building's outlet. If you do not know which section the blockage is in, any work you do will leave it where it is.
At Cantley, the job does not start with pulling the blockage out straight away. It starts with looking inside the line with a camera. The footage shows whether the blockage sits in the trap, the connecting pipe, the shared stack or the building outlet, and whether it is a solid object or grease and sediment. Solid blockages are removed with a motorised drain snake or a robotic machine, while a layer of grease is broken up with high-pressure water jetting and the line is checked afterwards. When the job is done, we show you the cause on the footage.
How old plumbing and businesses feed drain blockages in Bahçelievler
Much of Bahçelievler is made up of apartment buildings put up between the 1970s and 1990s, and in Siyavuşpaşa, Soğanlı and Kocasinan many buildings still run on their original plumbing. In cast iron and PVC lines, the steps at the joints catch sediment and the inner diameter narrows over time. In buildings renewed through urban transformation, the new line sometimes does not match the old street connection, which shows up on the camera as a reverse fall.
In older buildings, raising the bathroom floor during a renovation can upset the fall of the drains. In mixed-use buildings with shops below and flats above, a blockage in a shop can quickly affect the whole building. Seeing on camera where the shop and residential stacks meet avoids unnecessary work. In restaurants and bakeries around Şirinevler square and Yenibosna, grease and dough residue are the most common cause.
Frequently asked questions
What should I do first about a blocked drain in Bahçelievler?
The first step in locating the problem is to check which drain is affected. Do not lift the manhole cover or climb inside, as toxic gas can be present. Chemical drain openers can damage the pipe and carry a splash risk, so avoid using them.
Why does a blockage in one flat also affect the other flats in the building?
Water coming down from the upper floors hits the blockage in the shared stack and can back up through the lower-floor drains. So a problem that shows up in a single flat may actually originate in the stack. If the building caretaker gathers the neighbours' complaints, the cause becomes clear faster.
How can I stop a blockage coming back after the drain has been cleared?
The first step in preventing a repeat is to see whether the cause lies in the pipe's fall or in a build-up of grease. Instead of pouring cooking oil down the kitchen drain, letting it cool and putting it in the bin reduces build-up. If the camera shows a fall error or a sagging section, we talk through together what can be done.
