Gaziosmanpaşa Sewer Line Renewal

If the kitchen drain in the flat you have just moved into runs slowly, the cause is often the load coming from the upper floors and an old extension on the building's shared stack. In an elderly couple's flat, the first sign is often damp in the basement and a smell that rises after rain, and you cannot see the line under the floor yourself. In both cases, using a camera first to see on which floor the blockage begins rules out opening up walls and floors for nothing.

On the streets spread across the district's hills and slopes, old single-storey houses stand next to multi-storey apartment buildings. Because each building's plumbing was built at a different time and in stages, even two neighbouring buildings may not drain into the same pipe. Newly built blocks from urban renewal, with more flats than before, put more load than expected on the old street line they connect to.

In buildings on the lower side of a slope, the basement sits lower than the street line, so water can be seen backing up during heavy downpours. In older buildings where balcony drains are connected to the soil stack, the rainwater puts extra strain on the stack. In places like these, the camera footage first shows which section of the line has narrowed and where the ground needs to be opened.
