Esenler Channel Drain Unclogging

At Cantley, we first come to the address, check which section of the channel is blocked and explain the cause to you. Then we lift the grates, clear the sand, leaves and mud from the bottom, and open the connected pipe with high-pressure water jetting from the nearest manhole. If the blockage keeps coming back or there are signs of subsidence in the garden, we send a camera into the pipe and show you roots, a break or a joint that has come apart on video. When the work is done, we run plenty of water through the grates and watch together how it travels to the manhole and the street.

On most streets in Esenler, five- and six-storey buildings stand side by side, and because many were built in the same period with similar methods, their drainage systems have aged together. With shops on the ground floor and flats in the basement, water from the upper floors heads for the lowest point. When the drain overflows in the morning in an elderly couple's basement flat, they cannot tell whether the problem comes from their own plumbing or from the shared line. That is why you first need to see where the line is blocked.

In front of shops, soapy water spilled while washing the pavement and cooking oil coming in from the back courtyard form a sticky layer on the channel floor, and sand then clings to that layer. In older buildings, where the rainwater downpipe connection at ground level is mixed in with the waste line, a downpour can cause overflow starting at a basement floor drain. So in channel drain unclogging in Esenler, knowing where the water comes out decides which section of the line gets cleaned.
