# Gaziosmanpaşa Blocked Drain Clearing

Blocked drain clearing in Gaziosmanpaşa starts with finding exactly where the blockage sits, in buildings spread across the hills and often extended with extra floors later. Buildings from different periods stand side by side on the same street, so the plumbing has grown piece by piece. That is why the same symptom can call for a very different fix, depending on which floor and which pipe it starts in.

If only the kitchen sink is running slowly, the blockage is usually right behind the trap. The horizontal connecting pipe, the shared stack and the building outlet cannot be seen from outside, so we need to look inside the line first. We inspect the problem at the address, explain the cause, and then clear the drain.

## Drain problems in Gaziosmanpaşa's mixed building stock

Many neighbourhoods in Gaziosmanpaşa are spread across hills and slopes. Extra floors have been added on top of homes that originally had one or two storeys, and buildings from different periods stand side by side. When the shared stack was extended, sections of different diameters and materials were joined on, and these joints collect sediment and narrow the flow.

Basements on the lower side of a slope can sit below the street line, so backflow can occur during heavy downpours. In older buildings, balcony drains connected to the shared stack also put extra strain on it in the rain. If the washbasin and shower in a ground-floor flat slow down together, the connecting pipe is the likely cause, while for an office in a business centre the shared stack or the building outlet may be responsible.

## Frequently asked questions

### What should I do if my sink drains slowly in Gaziosmanpaşa?

We suggest running plenty of warm tap water through it and not reaching for a chemical drain opener. The chemicals can stay in the pipe and harm your hands and the plumbing, and boiling water can damage a plastic pipe. If grease or hair has built up in the bend of the trap, the problem will come back.

### What does it mean if dirty water comes up in the drain on a lower floor when someone upstairs uses water?

This usually points to a blockage in the building's shared stack. Water coming down from the upper floors hits the blockage and returns through the first outlet it finds, so it affects the whole building. It is sensible to let your neighbours and the building management know.

### What should I do in Gaziosmanpaşa if a manhole overflows and the ground floor is flooded?

Never go down into the manhole, and report the situation to the building management or to us straight away. Toxic gas can be present inside a manhole, and a blockage at the building outlet affects all the drains in the basement and on the ground floor at the same time. For this reason the outlet pipe needs to be inspected with a camera.
