Bakırköy Blocked Drain Clearing
Bakırköy blocked drain clearing often starts with the old cast-iron shared stacks in Ataköy, because rust and sediment narrow the inside of the pipe over the years. The same symptom can come from four different places, so you first need to find which section of the line the blockage is sitting in.
Before clearing the blockage, Cantley sends a camera into the line through the most suitable access point. The screen shows whether the blockage is a hard object or a build-up of grease and sediment, and the method is chosen accordingly. Working on the wrong section can leave the blockage where it is and bring back a bigger problem soon after. To clear the line without breaking tiles or walls, we work through the existing access points, so your tiles and walls stay as they are.
Blocked drains in Bakırköy vary with the structure of the building
If dirty water rises from a flat's toilet in the blocks of Ataköy, the problem should usually be looked for in the shared stack. If the building caretaker or site management notices complaints from several flats at the same time, the cause is likely sediment that has built up at one point in the stack.
In the restaurants, cafés and shops around Bakırköy market and the square, a layer of grease quickly narrows the inner diameter of the drain. If the ground-floor business kitchen is connected to the same line as the homes above, the problem affects both sides at once. In houses with gardens in Yeşilköy and Florya, roots enter through the joints of old clay pipe, so when the line runs from one end of the garden to the other, a long-cable camera is needed. In low streets near the coast, rainwater can fill the sewer and flow back into basements. In that case clearing the line is not enough, and the cause has to be found so the problem does not return.
Frequently asked questions
My sink is draining slowly in Bakırköy, is this a shared stack problem?
Usually not. If only one drain is slow, the blockage is most often in the bend of the trap or in the short length of pipe just behind it. If the bathroom and shower drain normally, the problem has most likely not spread to the connection pipe or the shared stack.
What should I do if water comes back up through the basement drain?
First reduce water use in the home, and never climb down into the manhole, because toxic gas can be present inside. If water is collecting around the manhole and the floor and basement drains are overflowing at the same time, the blockage is at the building outlet. In that case, call us straight away.
Why does the blockage come back after the drain has been cleared?
Because simply boring through the middle of a blockage does not stop waste from building up again at the same point if the pipe's gradient or a sag in the line remains. If grease is stuck to the inside of the pipe, it has to be stripped off with high-pressure water jetting. When we check the line again with the camera and see a gradient fault, a sag or a broken joint, we show it to you and explain what can be done.
