# Eyüpsultan Sewer Line Unclogging

The most common reason for sewer line unclogging in Eyüpsultan is sediment that has built up for years in the main lines of older buildings. On the slopes down to Haliç and around the Eyüp Sultan Camii, the old pipes are not suited to digging up the floor, so the line is inspected with a camera first. That is why Cantley looks at the age and material of the pipe in each building before choosing a method.

When one point on the main line blocks, it is not just a single flat that is affected: waste water coming down the shared stacks collects in the basement or on the ground floor. If waste water comes back up through the toilet of a shop on the street, you also need to check whether the upper floors are draining slowly. In a flat you have just moved into, wet wipes and grease left by the previous occupants may be stuck in the shared line.

## Main line problems in Eyüpsultan by building type

In the south of the district, around the Eyüp Sultan Camii and on the Haliç slopes, older buildings on narrow streets are common. In these buildings the main line is often made of terracotta pipe, with sediment that has built up over many years.

Around Alibeyköy in the middle of the district, blockages in multi-storey apartment buildings usually form at the bottom of the shared stacks, and the lower floors are the first to be affected. In the north, tree roots get into the long garden lines of the detached houses with gardens in Göktürk and Kemerburgaz. For this reason, at every address the condition of the line is read first, and the method is chosen afterwards.

## Frequently asked questions

### How do I know if the sewer line is blocked in Eyüpsultan?

The main line may be blocked if waste water rises back up in a ground-floor flat, there is a drain smell in the basement, or several flats slow down at the same time. If one of the building's manholes is full while the next one is empty, the blockage is between those two manholes. Clearing a single sink does not solve the problem in this case.

### How can I tell whether the street sewer or the building's line is blocked?

This is worked out by looking at the building's last manhole. If the blockage is in the building's line, it is cleared on the building side together with the management; if it is in the connection on the street, it is reported to İSKİ and you do not need to touch the network yourself.

### Can a sewer line be cleared in a historic building in Eyüpsultan without breaking the floor?

In most cases this method can be tried, but the final decision is made after the camera footage. First the camera shows what the blockage is, then the pipe wall is cleaned with a motorised drain snake and high-pressure water jetting. If a break or collapse is seen, the options for renewing the line are explained separately, together with the management.
