# Beyoğlu Sewer Camera Inspection

Beyoğlu Sewer Camera Inspection is the most direct way to find the source of a problem without guessing, whether a sink drains slowly, the same drain blocks again after a few weeks, or an unexplained damp patch appears on a basement wall. The same applies if you notice a sunken area in the garden ground. The Cantley team feeds the camera in from the entry point and shows you on screen exactly where the blockage is.

The camera sits on the end of a flexible cable with a waterproof head. It enters the line through the mouth of the drain or manhole and shows the inner surface of the pipe live on screen. When a crack, a collapse, root intrusion or a displaced joint appears, we stop at that point and record the distance of each finding from the entry point. At the end of the inspection we explain the findings on screen, and together we answer the question: can cleaning solve the problem, or does a section need to be replaced?

## What the camera shows in Beyoğlu's masonry apartment buildings

The masonry apartment buildings in Cihangir, Galata and Tarlabaşı have been divided into flats over the years, and some have become hotels or short-term rental homes. With every change, the added bathrooms and kitchens were connected to the old cast iron shared stacks at awkward angles, often with too little slope. That is why a blockage may not sit in a single spot but can form at several joints at once.

In a new multi-storey residence, even a PVC line laid at the wrong slope can leave water standing, and a ground-floor flat may be the first place to notice a problem in the lower connection. On the slopes of Kasımpaşa, the load coming from the upper streets collects at the connections in the lower streets. Around Karaköy, Galata and İstiklal Caddesi, the drain outlet in basement kitchens sits below the sewer level, so grease blockages and backflow are often seen together.

## Frequently asked questions

### Do you have to open the floor for a sewer camera inspection in Beyoğlu?

No, the floor and walls are not opened for the inspection. The camera enters through the mouth of the drain or manhole, and the position of each finding is recorded from the cable.

### Why is a camera needed if a blockage keeps coming back?

For a recurring blockage, a camera is recommended because it shows what the obstruction is and exactly where it sits, so nothing is left to guesswork. A collapsed section or a joint that protrudes into the pipe will keep catching debris at the same point.

### Can an inspection be done when buying an old flat or before renovation?

Yes, an inspection can be done before a purchase or a renovation. The pipes under the floor are not visible at first glance, so the condition of the line is checked before new tiles are laid.
