Eyüpsultan Kitchen Sink Unclogging
The question we hear most about kitchen sink unclogging in Eyüpsultan is why water drains slowly from the sink and whether cleaning the trap is enough. Grease that goes down with the washing-up water flows while it is warm, but in the colder part of the pipe it sticks to the wall and, with coffee grounds and rice grains landing on it, turns into a thick plug. The trap often shows only the entrance of the problem. The real layer may have built up in the horizontal runs inside the wall.
In a student flat where several people pour greasy pan water into the same sink, or in a shared kitchen in a dormitory, heavy use can narrow the line quickly. In detached houses with gardens the line is longer, so the blockage can be far from the sink. First we look into the pipe with a camera at your address and talk through the cause with you, then we clear the drain without breaking anything.
Kitchen lines in Eyüpsultan, from historic houses to villa complexes
In the south of the district, around the Eyüp Sultan Mosque and on the slopes running down to the Golden Horn (Haliç), you find stone and timber houses and narrow streets. The cast iron or clay pipes in these older buildings can hold sediment that has built up over a long time, so before breaking any floor it is necessary to see where the narrowing is with a camera. As the slope gets steeper, water runs fast, but solid waste can be left behind.
In the multi-storey apartment blocks around Alibeyköy, a blockage at the bottom of the shared stack affects the lower floors, while in the villas of Göktürk and Kemerburgaz roots can get into the long garden lines. That is why we do not use the same machine everywhere, and choose the method according to the age and material of the pipe.
Frequently asked questions
What should I do first if my sink drains slowly in Eyüpsultan?
First, do not pour boiling water into the sink, because hot water can melt the grease and carry it further down the pipe. Run lukewarm tap water through a few times and do not use chemical drain openers, as these products put the pipes and plumbing at risk. If the problem continues, ask for a camera inspection of the trap and the line.
Is a camera used when a kitchen drain is unclogged?
Yes. Before the work starts, the inside of the pipe is checked with a camera and the exact point of the blockage is identified. After cleaning, the line is checked with the camera again to see whether the grease has been removed completely.
What does it mean if water rises in my neighbour's kitchen in an apartment building?
This usually points to a blockage in the shared kitchen stack, and clearing only your own trap will not solve it. In Eyüpsultan apartment buildings, the lower part of the stack should be inspected together with the building management in this case.
