Drain and Sewer Services in Güngören
When you need drain unclogging in Güngören, Cantley comes to any home or business address in the district, 24/7, and clears the blocked drain without breaking tiles or walls. It might be the shared toilet in a Merter business centre, an office kitchenette or the kitchen sink in a flat. The team inspects the inside of the pipe with a camera, shows you the blockage on the screen, and only then works at that exact point with a motorised drain snake or high-pressure water. Wall and floor finishes stay in place.
Güngören fits a great many homes and businesses into a small area, and that density shows in the drain lines. Workplace toilets used by dozens of people all day, basement workshops and apartment blocks built right up against each other all share the same street lines. By phone or on WhatsApp, tell us whether the address is a home or a business and which drain is blocked. The team looks at the problem on site, explains it to you and starts with your approval.
Streets where wholesale trade and housing sit side by side
The Merter side of Güngören is known as one of the centres of textile and ready-to-wear wholesale. Here you find business centres, shop and showroom floors, offices and workshops set into basements. In the rest of the district, five- and six-storey apartment blocks line the narrow streets wall to wall, and the ground floors are usually taken by shops. A large share of the buildings went up in the same period, and their plumbing has been altered or extended over the years as needs changed. With housing and commerce this mixed, the load on the drain lines also shifts through the day. In some buildings the basement and ground floors are given over to workshops while the upper floors are homes.
In business centres the shared toilets are in heavy use all day, and paper towels, wet wipes and cleaning cloths pass from the toilet into the shared stack and knot together. In office kitchenettes, tea leaves and coffee grounds settle like sludge in the bends of the sink pipe. Workshops in basements can sit lower than the street line and face backflow in rainy weather. In apartment blocks, old shared stacks collect kitchen grease from the upper floors in their lower sections. When all of these problems appear during weekday working hours, they also stop the work flow. That is why, for businesses, planning the work outside working hours is often the best approach.
Calls from business centres to apartment flats
Whether you are at a business or in a flat in Güngören, these are the jobs we are called out for most:
Toilet Unclogging
If the toilets on several floors of a Merter business centre block on the same day, paper towels and wipes have knotted in the shared stack. We clear the stack from below with a drain snake without removing the toilets, then check each floor by running water. We suggest to the management a notice about what must not go down the toilet.
Washbasin Unclogging
If the sink in an office kitchenette has started to drain slowly, the cause is most likely tea leaves and grounds built up in the bends. We remove and clean the trap, then clear the rest of the pipe with a drain snake. We recommend fitting a strainer to the sink. We also check the other drains in the kitchenette.
Backflow Valve Installation
If dirty water comes up through the floor drain of a basement workshop on rainy days, the street line is backing up. Fitting a backflow valve at the building outlet stops the water from returning inside, so you protect the stock and equipment in the workshop. Before installation, we make sure the line is clean.
Sewer Cleaning
In the main drain line of a busy business centre, paper, grease and sediment build up over time and slow the flow from every floor. We clean the line from end to end with a high-pressure water jet and check the result with a camera. We talk with the business centre management about when the next cleaning should be.
Drain Unclogging
In an older flat in Güngören, the bathroom, kitchen and washing machine drains are connected to the same main pipe. A blockage that starts in one affects the others. We find the shared point, clear it, and check that each drain runs freely on its own.

Frequently asked questions
Why do the toilets in our Merter business centre block so often?
Frequent blockages are mostly caused by paper towels, wet wipes and cleaning cloths flushed down the toilet. These do not break up in water like toilet paper does, and they wrap around each other in the bends of the stack and form a knot. After the stack is cleared, putting waste bins in the cubicles and hanging a short notice reduces repeat blockages noticeably. While clearing the stack, we can also see which floor the paper is coming from.
Can tea leaves block the kitchenette sink in our Güngören office?
Yes, tea leaves and coffee grounds are among the most common causes of sink blockages. They do not dissolve in water, and in the bends of the pipe and in the trap they mix with grease and soap into a dark sludge. Throwing the leaves in the bin instead of the sink and fitting a strainer to the drain largely prevents this problem. If a blockage has already started, mechanical clearing is preferable to chemicals.
Drain water is coming back up in our basement workshop in Güngören. What should we do?
First you need to see where the water is coming from: is the building's shared stack blocked, or is the street line backing up? We tell the two apart with a camera. If the stack is blocked, we clear it. If the street line is backing up, we recommend fitting a backflow valve at the building outlet. In the meantime, lift your stock off the floor.
Can I call at the weekend or in the middle of the night in Güngören?
Yes, you can call at any hour you like; the service runs seven days a week, at every hour of the day. For businesses, hours outside working time are often more suitable, because the drains must not be in use while we work. If you tell us a suitable time by phone, the team will arrive accordingly. Meanwhile, do not use the blocked drain. If there is an electrical appliance near overflowing water, unplug it.
