Büyükçekmece Shower and Bathtub Drain Unclogging

If water is standing in the shower tray, or you have noticed the bathtub draining more slowly every time, shower and bathtub drain unclogging in Büyükçekmece is not something to put off any longer. A drain rarely blocks because of a single event. It narrows a little with each use until it reaches its limit.

Knowing whether the blockage is in the strainer, the trap or the shared line defines the scope of the job. First we look inside the line with a camera and explain the cause to you, then we break up the blockage with a motorised drain snake or a robotic machine. If needed, we flush the line with high-pressure water jetting, and no tiles are broken in the process.

Old holiday-home lines and bathroom drains in Büyükçekmece

Many of the housing complexes stretching along Mimarsinan, Kumburgaz and Güzelce are now lived in all year round, but the lines beneath them were laid for summer use. Sand and leaves collecting in a long shared line running through the garden, combined with sediment that dries out over winter, can make the drain back up at the start of summer.

The tenant is usually the first to notice the problem but may find it hard to explain the cause to the landlord, so an inspection at the address gives both sides the same information. In a home near the sea with a low ground floor, dirty water can rise up through the drain during heavy rain, and in that case the outlet of the line also needs a measure that stops backflow. In a shop on the main street where the bathroom and sink drains are connected to the same line, a single blockage disrupts the whole business.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know a shower drain is blocked in Büyükçekmece?

If the water under the shower does not drain away even after you have finished, hair and soap may have formed a blockage in the strainer. Instead of forcing the strainer with a rod, ask for an inspection at your address, as hard tips can damage the line.

Does a scented product help with the smell from a floor drain?

No, scented products only mask the smell, and the smell will not go away until the sediment is cleaned out. Chemical drain openers can damage the pipe and risk contact with skin and eyes, so do not use them.

What should I do so the blockage does not come back after the drain is cleared?

Washing the strainer regularly with lukewarm tap water and picking up hair by hand after every shower is the simplest precaution. Do not pour boiling water down the drain, as it can damage the pipe joints. In homes where the shared line is heavily used, having it scanned once with a camera shows the problem spots in advance.
