Çatalca Pipe Unclogging
Most requests for pipe unclogging in Çatalca start with the same question: the sink slowed down some time ago, and now water is pooling in the basement floor drain, so why is this happening? In Çatalca, a building's plumbing is rarely a single pipe. A long drain line running out from the garden usually works together with a shared stack where several flats join. That is why the first job is to find out what the pipe is made of and where it narrows.
When we arrive at the address, we first inspect the problem on site and explain the cause to you plainly, and only then start clearing the drain. If needed, we send the camera into the line and watch with you what is inside the pipe. We use a controlled motorised drain snake on old cast iron stacks, and high-pressure water jetting on garden and street connections.
Çatalca's garden lines and old stacks
In central Çatalca you find low-rise apartment buildings and shops around the market, while the villages have detached houses with gardens. A family living in an older building first notices that the kitchen sink has slowed down, then that the bathroom drain is not taking water either. In this situation the problem often lies in the rusted cast iron pipe of the shared stack. Because the two drains join on the same stack, the blockage is felt in two places at once.
In a building with a basement, a smell comes from the floor drain, and after rain the area around the garden manhole cover stays wet. On corrugated or concrete pipe runs from the garden to the street, tree roots enter through the joints, and when the ground settles the pipe can be crushed and narrowed. In that case it is hard to guess where along the line the blockage is without seeing inside.
Frequently asked questions
Is it right to pour chemical drain opener when a sink is blocked in Çatalca?
No, we do not recommend pouring chemical drain opener. On old cast iron or galvanised lines in particular, chemicals do not dissolve the rust crust and can eat into thinned metal, speeding up perforation. If trying lukewarm tap water is not enough either, it is safer to look at the line with a camera and clear it with the right tool.
Why does water drain slowly from a garden drain in Çatalca?
If water drains slowly from a garden drain, or collects around the manhole, there may be a narrowing further along the line. This is most often caused by a tree root, a crushed corrugated pipe or a joint that has slipped. We can only say the cause for certain by looking inside the line.
Can a cleared blockage come back?
If the pipe is sound and the cause of the blockage has been removed, the problem most likely will not return. When we check again with the camera after clearing and see a collapse, a break or a crushed section, we tell you so plainly. In such a case we recommend renewing only the damaged section.
