# Beyoğlu Sewer Line Renewal

Beyoğlu Sewer Line Renewal is usually needed when a flat's kitchen drain starts overflowing again soon after every cleaning. In an old building where the bathroom and kitchen drains were added to the same shared stack at a later date, blockages can build up in several places at once. That is why Cantley starts with a camera: only the footage shows where the fault inside the pipe is and how long it runs.

When a building management team notices a smell rising from one particular corner of a shared drain and calls us, the problem often turns out to be in just one section of the line. In a new multi-storey residence, the cause sometimes goes back to the original installation, as a line laid with too little slope drains slowly from the start. Once we have watched the footage together and decided which section will be replaced, we start opening the floor at that point and only as wide as needed.

## Why the line fails in several places in Beyoğlu's old buildings

In Cihangir, Galata and Tarlabaşı, many of the masonry buildings from the late 19th and early 20th centuries have been divided into flats, and some have been turned into hotels or short-term rentals. Bathrooms and kitchens added later were connected to the old cast iron stacks at a different angle each time, and the slope is often inadequate. That is why in Beyoğlu a line can often fail at several joints at once.

On the steep streets of Kasımpaşa, old houses and new buildings stand side by side. Waste coming down from above builds up at the connections lower down, and ground-floor flats are affected most. In the restaurants, cafés and hotels around Karaköy, Galata and İstiklal Caddesi, basement kitchen drains can sit below the sewer level, so grease blockages and backflow are often seen together. On lines like these, we base the decision to renew on the camera footage. When we work in a pedestrian zone or on a street with steps, we move the job to the quietest time so that we do not disrupt the neighbouring businesses.

## Frequently asked questions

### How do I know if my sewer line in Beyoğlu needs renewing?

If the same spot blocks again soon after cleaning, or a sewer smell rises from one particular point in the basement, the line may have a broken, collapsed or crushed section. Washing the line out is often not enough on its own, and the camera footage shows which section is faulty.

### Does the whole floor get opened when a sewer line is renewed?

No. Wherever possible, only the faulty section is opened and the new pipe is laid in that part. The pipe that is still sound is left untouched, and the width and area to be opened are shown to you in advance, after the camera inspection.

### How does the process work for a site management or a residence?

First we inspect the problem in the building and share the cause with you, then we move on to unclogging the drain. You can watch the camera footage and the marked section together with the management. The new line is tested with water and inspected again with the camera, and only then is the floor closed.
