Bakırköy Drain Unclogging
Bakırköy Drain Unclogging is usually needed after a morning like this: the sink water sits at the plughole instead of going down. If the same thing happens in your ground-floor flat or in the kitchen sink drain of your shop on the main street, the first job is to find out which section of pipe is blocked.
At Cantley we start by looking at the problem on site. We ask which drain is affected, when the problem began and what you have already tried. We then run water through the drains one by one to work out which line the blockage is on. Once we have explained the cause, and with your approval, we clear the drain and check the flow together with you.
Why drains block in different ways in Bakırköy
In blocks with a shared stack in Ataköy, rust and limescale in cast iron lines can narrow the inner diameter, so the problem sometimes starts in the building's common pipe rather than in your flat. In the houses with gardens in Yeşilköy and Florya, roots getting into old clay pipes and the garden manhole come up most often. When the line runs from one end of the garden to the other, it has to be followed with a camera.
The restaurants, cafés and shops around the Bakırköy market and the square carry the heaviest drain load in the district. In older market buildings the kitchen drain can be connected to the same line as the flat above, so grease can show up in a flat's sink as well. In low streets close to the shore, heavy rain can fill the stormwater sewer and push water back into lower floors.
Frequently asked questions
Can I unclog a blocked drain myself at home in Bakırköy?
Yes, cleaning the hair and soap that collect in the trap by hand is often enough. If water rises in several drains at once, though, the blockage is further along than the shared pipe. Do not use chemical drain openers, as they can heat up in the pipe, splash and damage the seals.
Why does the drain in my house with a garden in Yeşilköy block so often?
The main cause is tree roots entering through the joints of old clay pipes. Once the roots spread inside the pipe, they start catching waste and the blockage grows quickly. After we locate it with a camera, it is possible to deal with it without digging up the garden unnecessarily.
Why does sink water rise after rain in Florya?
In heavy rain the stormwater sewer fills up, so water can come back up through the drains on lower floors. In streets close to the sea, grates clogged with leaves and sand make this happen faster. In this case clearing the drain is not enough on its own: you need to find out why the line is filling up and take precautions at the building's outlet.
