Fatih Toilet Unclogging
If the water in the toilet rises and never goes down when you flush in the evening, toilet unclogging in Fatih is not something that can wait. Flushing again and again can cause an overflow, so the first step is to find where the blockage is sitting.
At Cantley we work without lifting the toilet from its place and without damaging your bathroom tiles. We come to the problem, test the flush carefully, and check at which point the water stops and whether the other drains in the bathroom are affected. If needed, we inspect the inside of the pipe with a drain camera, share the result with you, and carry out the work only after you approve it. If the blockage is in the bend of the toilet, we clear it with a protected snake that does not scratch the porcelain. If it is in the shared stack, we open the line with a motorised drain snake and high-pressure water.
Toilet drains in Fatih's historic buildings: a special case
In the attached buildings on the slopes of Balat and Fener, the plumbing may have been renovated by different hands over the years. Because old lines and new parts have been joined together, we can often tell where the drain runs only by looking inside with a camera.
In a building with a toilet in the basement, the drain may pass through the neighbour's basement, so the work has to be planned across the two buildings. In places where many people use the same toilet, such as student flats or dormitories, wet wipes and sanitary pads build up quickly and form a tight plug. Since breaking up the floor is often not possible in historic buildings, inspecting from the inside first and then clearing the blockage is the soundest approach in Fatih.
Frequently asked questions
Does the toilet need to be removed for toilet unclogging in Fatih?
In most cases it does not. We find and clear the blockage without removing your toilet, using a protected snake and, if needed, a camera. Please don't remove the toilet yourself: the connector can slip and the floor can be damaged.
I flushed wet wipes down the toilet. Can I use a chemical drain opener?
We don't recommend using a chemical drain opener. It can damage the porcelain and the pipe, and while the plug stays in place it can also put you at risk of contact with the chemical. Instead of flushing again and again, keep an eye on the water level and call us.
Is the blockage in my flat only, or in the building's shared stack in Fatih?
We work this out on site: the flush is tested once and the other drains in the bathroom are checked. If water rises from the shower, the blockage is in the bathroom line. If dirty water appears in the flat below, it may be a problem with the shared stack.
