If the water rises to your ankles when you step into the shower in the morning, or the bathtub simply will not empty, you need shower and bathtub drain unclogging in Başakşehir. This kind of blockage usually starts with hair and soap residue built up under the strainer, and it can spread to other drains on the same line.

At Cantley, we first look into the pipe through the drain opening with a camera and see whether the blockage is in the strainer or in the shared line. After talking through the cause with you at the address, we move on to the unclogging. We use a motorised drain snake, a robot head and, where needed, high-pressure water jetting, and no tiles are broken.

## Bathroom drains in Başakşehir's building stock

Most of the district was built in a planned way after the 1990s. Multi-block housing stands out in Kayaşehir and Altınşehir, while Bahçeşehir is known for villas and sites with pools. On shared lines serving hundreds of flats, hair and soap residue builds up over time, and in homes with several bathrooms a rarely used drain can have its trap water seal dry out and start to smell.

For example, if a shower tray on the upper floor of a new multi-storey residence drains slowly, the problem is often residue collected in the building's shared line. If a floor drain in a ground-floor flat gives off a smell, the water seal in the trap may have dried out. In both cases, seeing the line with a camera first is the shortest way to avoid unnecessary breaking.

## Frequently asked questions

### Do tiles need to be broken to unclog a bathroom drain in Başakşehir?

In most cases they do not. The blockage is usually in the strainer, the trap or inside the line, so it can be reached through the drain opening and cleared without touching the tiles.

### Can I use a chemical drain opener if the shower drain smells?

We do not recommend chemical openers, because they may not have enough effect on hair and soap residue and can damage the pipe or the seals. The smell usually comes from residue drying in the trap, and scented products only mask it. Rinsing once with lukewarm tap water does no harm, but a lasting fix needs the line to be inspected.

### What should be done if the shower and the toilet affect each other?

If water or air bubbles come up through the shower drain when the toilet is flushed, the blockage is in the shared bathroom line, and cleaning only the shower strainer is not enough. In that case the main line is checked with a motorised drain snake or a robot head, and the suspect section is viewed with a camera. We explain clearly what we find.
