Drain and Sewer Services in Bahçelievler
When you call Cantley for drain unclogging in Bahçelievler, we come 24/7 to every street in the district, from Siyavuşpaşa to Yenibosna, and solve the problem without breaking anything. In flats, apartment buildings, shops and restaurants we work with a camera, a motorised drain snake and high-pressure water, clearing the line without touching the tiles of newly done bathrooms and kitchens.
We always start by finding exactly where the blockage is. We show you the camera footage, explain what is blocked, where and why, and tell you which method we will use. Breaking floors or walls only comes up if the pipe is genuinely broken, and we discuss that with you beforehand. If the problem is in the shared line, we also inform the building management.
Older buildings and busy commerce along the D-100
Bahçelievler has changed a great deal since the days of the garden houses that gave it its name. Today most of the district is made up of apartment buildings put up between the 1970s and the 1990s. In Siyavuşpaşa, Soğanlı and Kocasinan, many of these buildings still use their original plumbing. In them, old cast iron and first-generation PVC pipes sit side by side, sediment catches on the steps that form at the joints, and the line narrows over the years. In buildings renewed through urban transformation, we come across cases where the new building line has been connected poorly to the old street connection. On camera, this mismatch shows up straight away as a step or a reverse slope. In older buildings, raising the bathroom floor during a renovation can also upset the fall of the floor drains. The result is that water rises to the drain opening and just sits there.
The area around Şirinevler square and Yenibosna is a dense commercial and business zone stretching along the D-100 highway. Restaurants, bakeries, cafés, hotels and business centres use large amounts of water all day. In these businesses, grease, dough residue and paper towels are the most common causes of blockages. In mixed buildings with shops below and flats above, a blockage in the shop can quickly become a problem for the whole building. In such buildings, first seeing with the camera where the shop line meets the residential stack avoids unnecessary work, and lets us do the job at the hour that affects both the shop and the flats least. Heavy use of shared toilets in the business centres of Yenibosna is also a frequent reason for calls.
Jobs caused by old plumbing and commercial kitchens
Most calls in the district come from apartment buildings with older plumbing and from businesses around the D-100. These are the jobs we do most often.
No-Dig Drain Unclogging
In older flats with renewed tiles, nobody wants the bathroom torn up again. We reach the blockage through the existing drain openings and cleaning hatches, clear the line without touching the tiles, check the flow together with you and explain what we did. We also show you the condition of the old pipes on camera and note the points to keep an eye on in future.
Kitchen Sink Unclogging
In the dishwashing drains of bakeries and restaurants in Şirinevler and Yenibosna, grease and dough residue combine into a hard layer. We scrape this layer away with a machine with a rotating head and wash it out with high-pressure water, and we also talk with the business about how often the grease trap should be emptied.
Shower and Bathtub Drain Unclogging
In older flats, shower and bathtub drains narrow with hair, soap and limescale, and water collects up to your ankles. We remove and clean the strainer, clear the connection from the floor drain to the stack with a thin snake, and watch together as the water drains quickly from the tray or tub.
Sewer Camera Inspection
In buildings renewed through urban transformation, we film with the camera how the new line joins the old street connection. If there is a reverse slope, a step or a break, the recording shows its position metre by metre, and you have a concrete document when you talk to the management.
Manhole Unclogging
When the manhole in front of the building or in the back garden fills up, the shops and flats on the ground floor are the first to be affected. We clean the manhole from above, clear the inlet and outlet pipes and check that the cover sits firmly. We finish the job by washing the building line that connects to the manhole with high-pressure water.

Frequently asked questions
My old flat in Bahçelievler has a newly done bathroom. Will the tiles be broken to clear a blockage?
Most likely not. Blockages usually form in the trap, at the floor drain connection or in the stack, and these points can be reached through the existing openings. The camera shows whether the problem is a break or sediment. Even if there is a break, we first show you the footage and then plan the smallest possible intervention. In new bathrooms, the cause of a blockage is often mortar left over from the renovation.
When the drain of our shop in Şirinevler blocks, are the flats above affected too?
They can be, because in mixed buildings the shop line and the residential stack usually join at the building outlet. When that junction blocks, the water coming down from the upper floors cannot get through either, and it comes out of the drain of the shop at the lowest point of the building. We first find the junction with the camera and clear it, then wash the two lines separately. Informing the shop owner and the management at the same time also makes the job easier.
Will pouring hot water down the kitchen sink at my home in Bahçelievler clear a blockage?
For a light grease build-up, warm or hot tap water can ease the flow a little, but it will not clear a blockage that has settled. We do not recommend boiling water, as it can soften PVC pipe joints. Baking soda and vinegar only work on light soap and grease deposits. If the water is still standing, the line needs mechanical cleaning from the inside, and we break up the grease layer with a drain snake or high-pressure water.
What signs mean the outlet line of our old apartment building in Bahçelievler should be cleaned?
Repeated overflows on the lower floors, a smell at the manhole or slow drains in more than one flat mean it is time. In buildings with older plumbing, washing the main line with high-pressure water at regular intervals stops the sediment from hardening. We first record the current state with the camera, then film again after cleaning and show the difference to the management. The recordings can also be used to define the scope of a future renovation job.
