If you walk into the kitchen in the morning and see grey water rising from the floor drain, commercial kitchen drain clearing in Fatih is not something to put off. This sign shows that grease or sediment in the kitchen's drain line is stopping the water from moving on.

When the washing-up water starts draining slowly at the tea station of a small workshop near the Grand Bazaar, or a fried-food smell rises from the floor drain of a fish restaurant in Kumkapı, the problem has often built up in the shared drain line. So we first inspect all the drains in the kitchen together, use a camera to see inside the line and find where the blockage is, then empty the grease trap and, if needed, clear the line with a motorised drain snake or high-pressure water jetting. Clearing done without explaining the cause can lead to the same spot blocking again soon.

## How kitchen drains are built in Fatih's old buildings

In the terraced houses on the slopes of Balat and Fener, and in the commercial buildings of Aksaray and Laleli, the plumbing may have been renewed by different tradesmen in different periods. In old lines the pipe wall wears from the inside and catches sediment, and some drains run through a neighbour's basement, so which branch the kitchen is connected to only becomes clear on camera.

In this kind of built-up area, where breaking into walls and floors is often not possible, finding the blockage with a camera and clearing it from the inside is frequently the only way for restaurant and café kitchens. When the drains of several shops near the Grand Bazaar connect to the same shared stack, we tell which connection the problem is coming from by looking at the footage.

## Frequently asked questions

### Why is a camera used for a kitchen blockage in an old building in Fatih?

Because in old buildings the route of the pipe often only becomes clear when you look from the inside. Finding the blockage with a camera without breaking the floor or wall avoids unnecessary digging and directs the clearing to the right spot.

### My kitchen sink is blocked. Can I clear the trap myself?

If the blockage affects only a single sink, cleaning the trap carefully is possible. If several drains slow down at the same time, the problem is in the shared line, and an on-site inspection is the better choice rather than trying to clear it yourself. Do not pour in chemical drain opener: it can react with grease, splash back and damage the pipe.

### My dishwasher shows a drain warning. What does it mean?

The warning shows that the machine is trying to push its water into a blocked line. If water stays in the machine or overflows from the floor drain next to it, the drain side needs to be checked first. A camera inspection and flushing may be needed to see the whole line.
