Beyoğlu Blocked Drain Clearing
Beyoğlu Blocked Drain Clearing is usually needed when a kitchen sink starts to drain a little more slowly each time. The same symptom can show up in a flat in Cihangir or in an old building on the slope of Kasımpaşa, but the cause can be very different. That is why the first job is to find out which part of the plumbing the blockage is sitting in.
When a washbasin slows down in an office on the upper floor of a business building in Karaköy, the problem often comes from the horizontal pipe that collects the drains of that floor. In a small workshop in Galata, sawdust and cutting waste can build up at the drain opening and form a blockage. At Cantley, before we clear a blockage we look inside the line with a camera and explain the cause to you.
Beyoğlu's old buildings and complicated pipework
Many of the masonry apartment buildings from the late 19th and early 20th centuries have been split into flats over the years, and some have become hotels or short-term rental homes. Because new bathrooms and kitchens have been connected to the old cast iron stacks at different angles, a blockage can form at several points on the same line at once.
The restaurants, cafés and bars around Karaköy, Galata and İstiklal Caddesi make up most of the district's drain load. In basement kitchens the drain opening sits below the level of the outdoor drainage line, so grease blockages and backflow are often seen together. We schedule this work for quiet times so that neighbouring businesses are not disturbed.
Frequently asked questions
If my sink drains slowly in Beyoğlu, could it be a blocked trap?
Yes. If only one drain has slowed down, the blockage is often in the trap or in the short stretch of pipe right behind it. A chemical drain opener can damage the pipe and splash, so it is safer to look at the blockage with a camera.
What should I do if dirty water comes up on the lower floor when the shower is used upstairs?
In this situation the problem is most likely in the building's shared stack, which affects the whole building. Tell building management and ask for the stack to be inspected with a camera. Do not open a manhole cover and climb in, because the gas inside can be toxic.
What should I do first when a drain blocks in an office or shop?
First, stop running water into that drain and the sinks connected to it, so the overflow does not spread. Then note which drains have slowed down and where the water is rising, and call us. This information decides which machine will come.
