# Büyükçekmece Pipe Unclogging

The question we hear most often about pipe unclogging in Büyükçekmece is whether pouring chemicals into a blocked sink is enough. In most older buildings this does not shift the blockage, and in some pipes it wears the line down even further. The right approach starts with finding out what the pipe is made of.

If the sink in an elderly couple's flat drains a little more slowly each week, the cause is often rust and limescale that have been building up inside for years. A café kitchen drain in Büyükçekmece, on the other hand, clogs with grease and food scraps and needs high-pressure water jetting. The Cantley team first inspects the line on site, looks inside with a camera, talks through the cause with you, and then clears the drain.

## Büyükçekmece's building stock and drain lines

The coastal strip was for a long time Istanbul's summer-house area. Along Mimarsinan, Kumburgaz and Güzelce, low-rise blocks and detached houses with gardens still make up a large share of the buildings. Many of these homes have become year-round residences, but the lines beneath them were laid for summer use. Inland, new apartment buildings and gated housing complexes are going up next to the older settlement on the lake side, so the cause of a blockage can differ from one building to the next.

A common problem in housing complexes is sand, leaves and root fragments collecting in the shared line under the garden. Sediment hardens inside a line that is barely used in winter, and when the flats fill up all at once in early summer, the water backs up. For this reason we recommend that site management have the whole line scanned by camera and have the problem points shown one by one.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I pour a chemical drain opener into a blocked sink in Büyükçekmece?

No, we do not recommend chemical drain openers. They do not dissolve rust or hardened build-up, and in old cast iron or galvanised pipes they can eat into the metal and speed up perforation. If you have used one before, be sure to tell the plumber.

### Should I have the pipe cleared if the sink water drains slowly?

Yes, water that takes a little longer to drain each day usually points to a narrowing that has built up inside the pipe over a long time. This sign appears before the drain blocks completely, so checking early makes it easier to find where the blockage is.

### Can the shared line of a housing complex in Büyükçekmece be scanned by camera?

Yes, it is possible to scan the whole line by camera and see the problem points. Instead of dealing with the same fault every early summer, we work out together which section needs clearing or replacing.
