# Çatalca Washbasin Unclogging

The need for washbasin unclogging in Çatalca is usually noticed when grey water sits at the bottom of the basin as you wash your hands. In a ground-floor flat, it is easy to blame the shared stack first when the water won't drain, but the problem often starts in the trap under the basin. In a home you have just moved into, hair and soap residue left by the previous occupant may be waiting for you.

At Cantley, we first check the plug, the trap and the wall connection in turn on site, and we do not touch the drain until we have found where the blockage is. If the problem is in the trap, we clean the plug and trap and fit them back. If it is further along beyond the wall, we clear the line with a motorised drain snake or high-pressure water jetting. We work without breaking tiles or removing the countertop, and if the blockage keeps coming back, we look inside the pipe with a CCTV drain camera and explain the cause to you. Once the job is done, we fill and empty the basin to test the flow together with you.

## Building stock in Çatalca and washbasin blockages

In low-rise buildings and shops in central Çatalca, washbasin problems mostly build up in the shared stack and in the drains of the businesses. A flat's washbasin empties into the same stack as the other flats connected to it, so a blockage that looks like a single-basin problem may have started further along the stack.

In the villages, on lines that run a long way under the garden, roots and mud collect at a point well beyond the washbasin trap. In weekend homes, if the basin goes unused for a long time, the water in the trap can dry out and a bad smell can come up. In that case, the trap is the first place to look.

## Frequently asked questions

### What should I do first about a blocked washbasin in Çatalca?

Checking the plug and the trap first may be enough. Do not force the plug out and pull on it, as the seal can be damaged and a leak can start underneath. Do not pour in a chemical drain opener, as it can damage the inner surface of the pipe and make the work that follows harder.

### Can a blocked washbasin be cleared without breaking the pipework?

Yes, in most cases the line in the wall can be cleared without breaking anything. A fine-tipped motorised drain snake and high-pressure water jetting are used. If the blockage keeps coming back, it is right to see the inside of the pipe with a camera first.

### Why does the washbasin in the home I just moved into keep blocking?

The cause is usually hair and soap residue built up in the trap, or a connection with no proper slope. Cleaning the trap and checking for dampness on the floor of the cabinet will make the problem clear.
