Gaziosmanpaşa Kitchen Sink Unclogging
The need for kitchen sink unclogging in Gaziosmanpaşa builds up over time in multi-storey buildings on streets spread across the hillside. Because floors were added later and the shared stack was extended with sections of different diameters and materials, grease catches at these joints and narrows the line. The horizontal pipe between the sink and the stack is therefore the first place to clog.
Greasy water runs freely while it is warm, then sets as the pipe cools, and the sink slows down again within a short time. First we remove the trap and clear the greasy sludge inside it, and we check the dishwasher's drain connection. When the trap is not enough, we open a channel through the hardened blockage with a motorised drain snake, scrape the grease off the pipe walls with robot heads and rinse the line with high-pressure water jetting. We inspect the problem on site and explain the cause to you before we start unclogging the drain.
Kitchen sink drains on Gaziosmanpaşa's tiered streets
On the streets along Gaziosmanpaşa's slopes, new floors were added over time to houses that once had only one or two storeys, and today five- and six-storey blocks stand side by side. New buildings put up through urban renewal have increased the number of flats, so the old street connection struggles to carry the load. Because the plumbing was built piece by piece during this transition, it is not obvious at first glance on which floor a kitchen drain blockage begins.
Greasy water rising in the kitchen sink of a shop on the main street, or a sink that empties slowly in a small workshop, are common situations in these neighbourhoods. First we watch the inside of the line with a camera and find where the problem starts, so walls are not broken open unnecessarily. In buildings at the lower end of a slope, where the basement sits below the street line, we also assess together with you which direction the drain is backing up.
Frequently asked questions
Why is my sink draining slowly in Gaziosmanpaşa?
Water that drains slowly from a sink usually means a layer of grease has narrowed the pipe's cross-section. If running lukewarm water helps for a short while and the sink then slows down again, the grease has not melted. It has only softened and moved further along the pipe. In that case cleaning the trap may not be enough, and the inside of the line needs to be checked.
What happens if I pour coffee grounds and rice down the sink?
When solid waste combines with grease, the blockage gets worse. Coffee grounds form a heavy sludge with water, rice and pasta swell as they absorb water, and eggshells stick to the grease and make the blockage bigger.
Water is rising in my neighbour's sink, what should I do?
The best step is to ask building management to have the shared stack inspected. If water is rising in your neighbour's kitchen, the problem is most likely in the shared line. Unclogging a single flat will not solve it, and first you need to find out on which floor the stack is blocked.
