# Bakırköy Shower and Bathtub Drain Unclogging

The most common reason for Bakırköy shower and bathtub drain unclogging calls in the district is a plug of hair under the shower strainer that gets a little tighter with every shower. In older blocks in Ataköy, rust and sediment inside the cast iron stacks narrow the pipe bore, so the same blockage can quickly reach the neighbouring drains too.

When the blockage sits too deep to be seen from the strainer, you need a camera to see where the problem starts. At Cantley, we first inspect the bathroom line at your address and explain the cause to you, then we clear the drain with a motorised drain snake or a robotic machine. If there is hard sediment, we flush the line with high-pressure water jetting and finish the job without damaging your tiles.

## Bathroom drains in older Bakırköy apartment buildings and houses with gardens

A family living in an older building in Ataköy that is connected to shared stacks will often blame the strainer alone when water starts to pool in the shower. In these buildings, though, the bathroom line runs to the stack through a pipe with very little fall, and that is where sediment builds up most. Without a camera, the exact position of the blockage cannot be known.

A family living in a house with a garden in Yeşilköy or Florya may only find out later that the drain is connected to a manhole in the garden or to tree roots. Because the drain line runs from one end of the garden to the other, a long-cable camera and machine are needed. In the older buildings around Bakırköy çarşısı, the ground-floor kitchen and the upper-floor bathroom can share the same line, so a blockage on one side can affect the other.

## Frequently asked questions

### What should I do first when my bathroom drain is blocked in Bakırköy?

The safest first step is to lift out the strainer, remove the visible clump of hair by hand, then run warm tap water once to see whether the water drains away. Do not pour in a chemical drain opener, because it can react with the blockage in the pipe and cause splashing or fumes.

### Why can shower and bathtub drains cause problems at the same time?

In most homes, the shower, bathtub and floor drains are connected to the same shared line. If water or air comes up through the shower drain when you flush the toilet, the blockage is in the shared line, and cleaning the strainer alone will not be enough.

### Why is unclogging a bathroom drain in a house with a garden in Bakırköy more complicated?

The drain line often runs from one end of the garden to the other, so a camera and a long-cable machine are needed. Once roots get in through the joints, the blockage can spread along the length of the line, so clearing a single point may not be enough.
