Büyükçekmece No-Dig Drain Unclogging
The need for no-dig drain unclogging in Büyükçekmece usually comes up when you notice the sink draining slowly. If the shower is also slow to clear in the same way, the blockage is most likely in the shared line where these drains join.
When the team arrives at the address, they first test the drains, then send a lit camera into the pipe through the nearest drain opening or cleaning hatch. The location of the blockage seen on screen is shown to you and what will be done is explained. In narrow lines a motorised drain snake is used, in long horizontal pipes a robot head, and for hardened deposits high-pressure water jetting. As long as the pipe stays sound, there is no need to break anything.
Drain problems in Büyükçekmece homes that have gone from summer houses to year-round residences
In Mimarsinan, Kumburgaz and Güzelce, low-rise blocks and detached houses with gardens stand side by side. Many of these homes are now lived in all four seasons, but the shared line running through the garden may still be laid for summer use. Sand and leaves build up in a line that carries little water in winter, and when the flats fill up all at once in early summer, the water backs up.
In a building with a basement, if the drain on the ground floor is connected to the street line, sewage can rise up through these drains during a downpour. In that case, adding a backflow valve at the outlet to stop the reverse flow is also discussed as part of the unclogging job. The kitchen drain of a café or restaurant in Büyükçekmece narrows every day with grease and food waste. The team scans the line with the camera without disrupting the running of the business and strips the grease layer away with a robot head.
Frequently asked questions
Do tiles need to be broken for a blockage in Büyükçekmece?
In most cases they do not. First the inside of the pipe is viewed with the camera and the location of the blockage is pinpointed. Even if some breaking is needed, it stays limited to a single small spot.
Is pouring a chemical drain opener enough for a blockage?
Usually it is not enough, and it can damage your plumbing. A chemical opener only tries to dissolve the grease or hair on the surface and cannot reach the thick layer on the pipe wall. If residue stays inside the pipe, it can also make the team's work harder.
What should I do if the drain in the basement is blocked?
First, stop running water into that drain and call the team. The team uses the camera to tell whether the problem comes from the street line or from inside the building. If the backflow comes from the street, a measure to stop reverse flow at the outlet is recommended alongside the unclogging.
