Eyüpsultan Blocked Drain Clearing
In the south of Eyüpsultan, narrow streets lined with stone and timber houses give way in the north to villa complexes close to the forest, and blocked drain clearing in Eyüpsultan follows a different order in each kind of building. In older buildings, most blockages come from sediment that has built up inside the pipe over the years.
Starting to clear a drain without finding where the blockage is means the same symptom soon comes back. If several sinks in an office or business centre slow down at the same time, the shared line where the water collects is the first place to look. In a flat you have just moved into, grease or hair left from previous use can show up before anyone knows how the plumbing is laid out, and seeing inside the line with a camera spares you unnecessary dismantling. At Cantley, we first examine the cause on site and explain it to you, then we clear the drain.
Drain blockages in Eyüpsultan's building stock
In older buildings on the historic slopes, the main source of blockages is clay pipes narrowed by sediment building up inside them. These lines have to be worked on without opening the floor, so the blockage is located with a camera and the equipment is advanced through the existing access points.
In multi-storey apartment blocks in Alibeyköy and the surrounding area, a blockage at the bottom of the shared stack hits the lower floors first and shows symptoms in several flats at once. In the gated complexes with gardens in Göktürk and Kemerburgaz, roots can enter long drain lines, and in that case a drain snake with a cutting head is used. In every area, the method is chosen to suit the age and material of the pipe.
Frequently asked questions
What do you ask on the phone about a blocked drain in Eyüpsultan?
We ask which floor you are on, which drains have slowed down and where the water is rising. We also ask whether your neighbours have a similar problem, because these answers largely show whether the blockage is in the trap, the connection pipe, the shared stack or the building outlet. The equipment the team brings is also decided from this information.
Can I clear a blocked drain myself with a chemical drain opener?
We do not recommend using a chemical drain opener, because the chemical left in the pipe can harden the blockage, damage the pipe material or splash back at you in a confined space. Instead, you can make a limited attempt with lukewarm tap water, and avoid pouring boiling water. Do not try to remove the toilet yourself. Going down into a manhole is dangerous because of toxic gas.
Why does the same drain keep blocking again?
When a blockage keeps coming back, the cause is most often the pipe itself. A wrong gradient, a sagging section or a broken joint lets waste collect at the same point, and in kitchen lines a layer of grease coats the pipe wall and narrows its diameter. The camera shows this fault, and we explain how you can proceed.
