Büyükçekmece Balcony Drain Unclogging
If water still stands on your balcony floor after the rain has stopped, the cause is often a blockage that calls for balcony drain unclogging in Büyükçekmece. Many people first clean the top of the strainer and get brief relief, but after a few rainfalls the water rises back up to the threshold. The real blockage usually forms in the elbow just below the strainer, and water can travel from the door or the base of the wall down to the flat below.
At Cantley we start by working out where the problem is. We inspect the inside of the pipe with a camera and find the narrowed point before putting a snake in, which cuts down on wasted work. Once we have explained the cause and location at your address, we clear the drain. We work through the drain opening, without breaking the balcony floor or the wall.
Why do balcony drains in Büyükçekmece block up faster?
In the housing complexes stretching along Mimarsinan, Kumburgaz and Güzelce, low-rise blocks and houses with gardens are common. Many of these homes are now lived in all year round, but the drain lines beneath them were laid for summer use. In lines that see almost no water in winter, sand and leaves harden, and when the flats fill up all at once at the start of summer, water can back up.
In homes close to the sea on low ground, when the street line fills during a downpour, dirty water can rise through the ground-floor drains. In this case clearing the blockage alone is not enough. The outlet of the line also needs a measure that stops backflow. In older flats where a washing machine and dishwasher have been added, the load on the pipes has also grown, so we recommend that site management have the whole line scanned and the problem points shown.
Frequently asked questions
What should I do first when a balcony drain blocks in Büyükçekmece?
Lifting the strainer grate and clearing the leaves and soil by hand may help. If the blockage has moved down into the elbow, that will not be enough, so avoid pouring in a chemical drain opener, as it can damage the pipe and the floor. If the water still does not drain away, call us.
Do you need to break the floor to unclog a balcony drain?
In most cases no, the drain can usually be cleared without breaking the floor. The motorised drain snake reaches the elbow and the horizontal pipe through the drain opening, and the camera shows the location of the blockage beforehand. If the drain is hidden under the floor covering, we decide by following with the camera where the connection leads.
What can site management do about balcony drains in Büyükçekmece?
Scanning the whole line with a camera and showing the problem points in order stops you dealing with the same fault at the start of every summer. If the balconies on several floors are affected, the work is planned with management in advance. This scan also helps tell whether the problem comes from the downpipe or from a single balcony.
