# Güngören Drain Unclogging

When you call for drain unclogging in Güngören, our team first goes to the blocked drain on arrival and watches where the water catches. We ask whether it is the sink, the shower tray or the kitchen sink that is affected, and whether other drains on the same line have also slowed down, then check with a water test. Before we start clearing the drain, we talk through with you what has blocked it and why.

In a new multi-storey residence, the drains of several flats feed into the same shared pipe, so the problem is sometimes not in a single trap but further along the building's line. A family in an older apartment block may notice the kitchen sink draining slowly over time, and only when they look inside do they see how much grease has stuck to the pipe. In both cases we look inside the line with a drain camera, then deal with that exact spot using a motorised drain snake or high-pressure water jetting. If you take a photo and send it on WhatsApp, we can talk through which line looks suspect before we come to the address.

## In Güngören, business buildings and apartment plumbing meet on the same line

Around Merter, business buildings selling fabric and clothing, showroom floors and basement workshops sit side by side with housing. When shared toilets are used heavily through the day, paper towels and wet wipes pass from the toilet into the shared stack and knot up, and office tea points carry coffee grounds and tea leaves into the sink bend. Workshops in basements sit below street level, so on rainy days backflow is a separate risk.

In the rest of the district, five- and six-storey apartment blocks stand side by side along narrow streets, and the ground floors are mostly shops. Because the plumbing in these buildings was extended later as needs changed, it is not always possible to guess where the line runs. The load on the same pipe changes as use shifts through the day, so a business that gets blocked during weekday working hours can benefit from having the work planned outside those hours, without stopping its operations. At Cantley, we first isolate the line, then talk through the cause with you.

## Frequently asked questions

### Why does a sink drain slowly in Güngören?

When a sink drains slowly, it is most often because a layer of hair, soap and grease has built up at the drain opening and narrowed the inside of the pipe. In the older apartment blocks in Güngören, limescale and rust in the shared stacks can add to this narrowing. If you see the water standing in place, a check to find where the line has narrowed is the sounder way forward.

### Should I use a chemical drain opener to clear a blocked drain?

A chemical drain opener often dissolves only part of the blockage, and the remaining layer soon blocks again. Mixing the product with another cleaning agent, or using it repeatedly in a closed drain, can put you at risk from fumes and heat. For that reason, do not treat a chemical opener as a lasting solution.

### Does pouring boiling water down a blocked drain work?

No, pouring boiling water does not work and it is risky for the pipe. Hot water can melt grease for a while and push it down, but the grease can cool and harden again at a bend, and in plastic pipe it can cause leaks at the joints. Instead, flush the line slowly with warm tap water and watch the result. If the blockage persists, get in touch with us.
