# Beşiktaş Blocked Drain Clearing

Source: https://cantleyvidanjoraltyapi.com/en/besiktas-blocked-drain-clearing/

The most common question in Beşiktaş blocked drain clearing is whether the problem sits only in the trap or in the building's shared pipe. A slow drain looks the same in both cases, so you need to find the blockage before you try to clear it. We first look inside the line with a camera, explain the cause on site, and then clear the drain.

When the bathroom sink and the shower slow down together in an older building, a family usually tries to clear the trap, yet the problem may be in the horizontal pipe that collects those drains. In Beşiktaş, the kitchen drain of a small workshop can also clog with grease deposits and leave the blockage right behind the trap.

## How Beşiktaş's older buildings affect blockages

The streets running down to the shore in Ortaköy and Bebek have buildings that are a hundred years old. PVC pipe sections added later to cast iron and clay pipes create differences in diameter and sharp bends, so blockages often build up at these joints. In buildings close to sea level the pipe runs almost flat, so solids linger along the way.

In the narrow streets around Çarşı, a large vehicle cannot pull up in front of the building, so the crew works with portable machines. The kitchen drains of the cafés and taverns in Çarşı clog quickly with grease, which makes a layer of grease the most frequent cause on these lines.

## Frequently asked questions

### My kitchen sink is draining slowly in Beşiktaş. Is the problem in the trap?

If only the kitchen drain is slow, the blockage is most likely in the bend of the trap or in the first stretch of pipe going into the wall. If the bathroom and shower drain normally, there is no need to look at the shared stack. Seeing the blockage with a camera lets us start at the right point without taking things apart unnecessarily.

### Dirty water is rising from my shower drain even though I am not using any water. What should I do?

If dirty water comes up through the shower or toilet while you are not using water, the blockage is most likely in the building's shared stack. In that case, letting the other flats and building management know speeds things up. Do not pour in chemical drain opener; it can create heat or splashing above the blockage and damage the pipe material.

### If water overflows from the manhole in Beşiktaş, could the building's outlet be blocked?

If water collects around the manhole cover and the drains in the basement or on the ground floor slow down at the same time, the blockage may be in the building's outlet pipe. Do not climb down into the manhole, as it can contain toxic gas. The right way to stop the overflow from spreading is to report the situation and ask for the outlet line to be inspected with a camera.
