Eyüpsultan Pipe Unclogging
Before starting pipe unclogging in Eyüpsultan, you need to look at when the building was put up: the old stone and timber houses around the Eyüp Sultan Mosque do not share the same plumbing as the multi-storey blocks in Alibeyköy. In the villas of Göktürk and Kemerburgaz to the north, long garden lines bring a different cause of blockage.
In cast iron and clay lines, rust and sediment narrow the inner wall over the years, so finding the blockage without breaking the floor comes first. We start by watching the inside of the pipe with a camera and locating the narrowing. Once we have explained the cause to you on site, we clear the drain with a motorised drain snake or high-pressure water jetting, whichever suits the pipe material.
Eyüpsultan's old buildings and villa estates
In the old houses around the Eyüp Sultan Mosque, cast iron stacks are still in use, and their inner walls can be narrowed by rust. For example, if the bathroom drain in a flat where an elderly couple lives is getting slower day by day, the problem is often the build-up inside this stack. If the floor drain on the ground floor of an Alibeyköy apartment block holds water, the blockage is usually at the bottom of the shared stack, because water looks for the lowest outlet.
In the gated estates with gardens in Göktürk and Kemerburgaz, tree roots get into the long lines and shifted joints form a step in front of the water. In an old building the first step is to see inside the pipe, while in a villa it is to assess the joints. Cantley chooses the method that suits the age and material of the pipe at every address.
Frequently asked questions
Why does a sink drain empty slowly in Eyüpsultan?
In older buildings this usually means rust has built up inside a galvanised or cast iron pipe and narrowed its diameter. In plastic PVC drain pipe, grease and hair collect at the bends and cause a similar slowdown. Looking into it early, when the water first starts to drain slowly, often helps stop the blockage from growing.
Does pouring chemicals into a blocked drain solve it?
No, it does not, and it can cause damage in old metal lines. A chemical drain opener does not dissolve a crust of rust, and it can eat into cast iron walls that have already thinned, speeding up perforation. If it is not clear where the blockage is, the pipe type and its inside should be checked first.
What should I do if the concrete pipe line in the garden blocks?
First you need to find out what material the line is made of and look inside it with a camera, because in corrugated, concrete and ceramic pipes the problem appears in different places. A camera can show roots, a crushed section or a shifted joint. A concrete pipe blocked by roots can be cleared, but if the joint has not been repaired the roots can come back. If there is a collapse or break above, we recommend replacing only the damaged section alongside the unclogging.
