# Eyüpsultan Toilet Unclogging

Source: https://cantleyvidanjoraltyapi.com/en/eyupsultan-toilet-unclogging/

The need for toilet unclogging in Eyüpsultan comes from the sediment that builds up over time inside the old cast iron and clay pipes of the district's historic area. Because these lines have to be worked on without breaking the floor, the first step is to look inside the pipe.

At Cantley, we first check together with you how the trap behaves and whether the other drains in the bathroom are affected, and we explain the cause to you. We work without removing the toilet, using a sheathed snake that does not scratch the porcelain, and if needed we show you the inside of the pipe with a camera. If the blockage is beyond the toilet, we use a motorised drain snake, a robotic head or high-pressure water jetting.

## Toilet drains in Eyüpsultan's different types of buildings

Around the Eyüp Sultan Mosque and on the slopes running down to the Golden Horn, old stone and timber buildings sit side by side with small shops on narrow streets. The cast iron and clay pipes here collect sediment over time, so a blockage can build up in the line well beyond the toilet. Looking into the pipe with a camera before breaking any floor is the right approach here.

In multi-storey buildings in Alibeyköy, a blockage often starts at the bottom of the shared stack and affects the lower flats. In the villa complexes and houses with gardens in Göktürk and Kemerburgaz, roots entering the long garden lines can squeeze the drain pipe. Common situations in Eyüpsultan also include napkins and greasy waste building up in a restaurant during the lunch rush, and sewage appearing on a lower floor of a new residence because of a slipped coupling.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I unclog a toilet myself in Eyüpsultan?

For a simple blockage inside the toilet bowl you can try a plunger or a sheathed snake, but if the water does not go down at all or water rises from the bathroom drain, the problem is beyond the toilet. We do not recommend chemical drain openers because they are risky and can damage the porcelain and the pipe. Do not try to remove the toilet yourself.

### Can a toilet be unclogged without removing it?

Yes, in most blockages there is no need to take the toilet off its base. A sheathed snake that does not scratch the porcelain goes into the bend and either breaks through the mass of paper and disperses it, or winds it up and pulls it out. If the camera shows the problem is further along, the next steps are discussed with you.

### What should I do if I see sewage on a lower floor of my building in Eyüpsultan?

First you need to inform the building management, because this usually comes from the shared stack. The stack is inspected by camera through the cleaning hatch or the manhole in the basement, and once the blockage is found it is cleared with a motorised drain snake or high-pressure water jetting. If it keeps happening, fitting a backflow valve is also discussed.
