Bakırköy Toilet Unclogging
For toilet unclogging in Bakırköy, if the water rises when you flush, the problem often isn't in the toilet bowl itself. In older blocks in Ataköy, cast-iron shared stacks narrowed by rust and sediment cause waste to build up at a point further along. At that stage, flushing again and again is enough to make the water overflow.
When the Cantley team arrives at your address, they first flush once to watch how the water moves, and check whether the other drains in the bathroom react. They explain whether the blockage is in the toilet, the bathroom line or the building's shared stack, and we decide what to do with your approval. For a blockage in the toilet, a sheathed snake that does not scratch the porcelain is used. In the shared stack, a motorised drain snake and high-pressure water are used through the manhole.
Why blockages keep coming back in Bakırköy's older buildings
In an older building, a family living on the third floor sees the toilet water rise every time they flush, while the tenant on the ground floor notices water coming up from the bathroom drain. Before landlord and tenant discuss who is responsible, you need to establish whether the blockage is in the toilet or in the shared stack.
In houses with gardens in Florya and Yeşilköy, the drain line runs from one end of the garden to the other, and a root that has grown into the line can block it. In a restaurant in Bakırköy çarşı, the ground-floor kitchen may share a line with the flats above, so the point where the line fills up is first found with a camera.
Frequently asked questions
How can I tell if a blocked toilet in Bakırköy is a shared stack problem?
If dirty water appears in the toilet or the floor drain when nobody has used the toilet, the problem is most likely in the building's shared stack. In that case the stack needs to be cleared together with the building management.
What should I do if wet wipes have been flushed down the toilet?
Do not flush again and again, because the water can rise and overflow. Do not try chemical openers either, as they carry a risk of unexpected splashing or damage inside the pipe. If the water is draining slowly, call us and we can check with a sheathed snake without removing the toilet.
Is a camera needed if the blockage keeps coming back in Bakırköy?
Yes. If the same problem keeps recurring or there is a suspicious point in the shared stack, the inside of the pipe is inspected with a camera. The footage is shown to you and the cause is explained. This step is especially important for the long lines in houses with gardens.
