Bakırköy Sewer Camera Inspection
Bakırköy Sewer Camera Inspection answers the question we hear most often: why does a drain that was cleared block again at the same spot a few weeks later? Most of the time the answer is hidden from the surface, in a crack, a collapsed section or a joint that sticks into the pipe.
The Cantley team attaches a lit, waterproof camera to the end of a flexible cable and slowly feeds it into the line through the drain opening or the manhole. The distance from the entry point is noted for every finding you see on the screen, so the location of the problem is measured, not guessed. At the end of the inspection, we look at the footage with you and talk through whether the problem can be solved by cleaning or whether a section needs to be replaced.
Why is the inside of the pipe not the same everywhere in Bakırköy?
In the blocks in Ataköy, the shared stacks in some buildings still run on cast iron pipes, and rust and sediment building up on the inner surface narrow the diameter. In houses with gardens in Yeşilköy and Florya, tree roots growing around the inspection chamber can get into old clay pipes and block the line. In these houses the drain runs from one end of the garden to the other, so a camera with a long cable is needed.
If you have just moved into a flat, seeing the line under the floor before a bathroom or kitchen renovation keeps a cracked pipe from being left under your new tiles. In Bakırköy çarşısı, the kitchen drain of a street-front shop and the homes on the upper floors can be connected to the same line, so the source of a blockage may turn out to be outside the shop as well. In low-lying streets near the coast, the camera also shows which line the water pushing back up during rain is coming from.
Frequently asked questions
Why does a drain that was cleared block again, and will the camera show this?
Yes, the camera shows the inside of the line on the screen and finds the real obstruction behind a repeated blockage. This obstruction is often a crack, a collapse or a network of roots, and clearing alone will not fix it for good. The position of the point we find is recorded together with its distance from the entry point.
Do I need a sewer camera inspection when buying an old flat in Bakırköy?
Yes, it is very useful before a purchase or a renovation, especially in older buildings. Pipes under the floor cannot be seen on a first walk-through, so a line that may need to be broken out and replaced could end up under new tiles. If the building plans are missing, this inspection also shows which wall the line runs under.
Does the floor need to be dug up for the camera?
No, in most cases the camera goes in through an existing manhole, inspection chamber, cleaning hatch or a trap that can be removed. If the line is very dirty, a short water rinse is done so the footage comes out clear. If the point we find is under a suitable surface, it is marked on top, so digging is done only where it is needed.
