Eyüpsultan Drain Unclogging
The most common cause behind drain unclogging in Eyüpsultan is the old pipework in the district's historic fabric. In the older buildings around the Eyüp Sultan Mosque, sediment builds up over time inside cast iron or clay pipes and slowly stops the water from draining. Breaking the floor on these lines is both difficult and unnecessary, so the first step is to look inside the pipe with a camera.
At Cantley, we do not start work until we know the source of the problem. Whether it is the sink, the shower or the kitchen drain that is affected, a water test tells us whether a single trap or the shared pipe is blocked. When needed, we show you the position of the blockage on camera, then clear the line with a motorised drain snake or high-pressure water jetting, chosen to suit the age of the pipe, and check the flow afterwards. If the same drain blocks again within a short time, it usually means the layer left on the pipe wall was not cleaned away completely.
Drain unclogging in Eyüpsultan, from historic slopes to villa complexes
In the south of the district, the area around the Eyüp Sultan Mosque is made up of narrow streets and stone and timber houses on the slopes that run down to the Golden Horn. In the middle, around Alibeyköy, multi-storey blocks stand close together, and blockages at the bottom of the shared stacks affect the lower floors. In the north, Göktürk and Kemerburgaz have villa complexes and houses with gardens close to the forest, where tree roots can get into the long garden lines.
When the sink of an elderly couple living in an old building near the Eyüp Sultan Mosque starts to drain slowly, it may be better to watch the line on camera than to check the trap first. In a new multi-storey residence, the vertical lines are connected to each other. If the water from one flat's dishwasher comes up in another flat's shower, the blockage is in the shared pipe.
Frequently asked questions
Why does the sink drain slowly in Eyüpsultan?
Most of the time the cause is hair and soap residue that has built up in the trap. In older buildings, sediment inside the pipe can also narrow its inner diameter. If the water sits in the drain before slowly going down, it points to an obstruction further along the line.
Do you need to break my pipe to unclog a drain?
For most blockages it is possible to work without breaking walls or floors. First the position of the blockage is found with a camera, then a drain snake or high-pressure water is used depending on the structure of the pipe. If breaking does become necessary, it is only done after we have talked it through with you.
What should I do if a drain blocks in a villa in Göktürk or Kemerburgaz?
First check whether more than one drain is affected at the same time. Because of tree roots entering the garden line, the blockage is often further out in the garden. In that case, seeing the line on camera gives a more reliable result than trying to clear the drains one by one.
