Güngören Pipe Unclogging

If the water in the kitchen drain of your detached house with a garden is clearing more slowly day by day, what you need is pipe unclogging in Güngören. The problem sometimes starts on the line running from the garden to the street, and sometimes in the shared stack that site management is responsible for. In both cases you first need to know what the pipe is made of.

When we arrive at the address, we first examine the problem on site and explain the cause to you; clearing the drain comes after that. We do not run the machine before seeing inside the pipe with a camera, so we find the blockage without forcing an old stack unnecessarily. We also check the cleared line again with the camera afterwards.

Güngören's building stock and pipe problems

Towards Merter, business centres, shop floors and basement workshops take up a lot of space. In the inner parts of the district, attached apartment blocks with shops on the ground floor stand out. Many buildings were put up in similar periods, but some of the lines are made up of parts added later, so an old stack and a newer bathroom line work side by side in the same system.

The time of day when the load peaks also changes where the problem starts. In offices, kitchenette drains and workshop use get heavier during working hours, while in residential floors evening use stands out. For site managements and houses with gardens, a camera is the clearest way to tell whether the blockage is in the shared stack or in a concrete pipe leading out to the street.

Frequently asked questions

Should I use a chemical drain opener when a sink is blocked in Güngören?

No, we do not recommend chemical openers. They do not dissolve rust in old metal and cast iron pipes, and they can eat into the thinned pipe wall and lead to holes. It is safe to remove the clump of hair and grease at the mouth of the drain by hand and try warm water; if the water still does not clear, have the line inspected.

What happens if the shared stack is blocked in an old apartment building in Güngören?

First we work out what material the stack is made of and on which floor it is blocked. On old cast iron stacks, once we have seen inside the pipe with the camera, we use a low-speed motorised drain snake and choose a head that will not stress the thinned metal. After it is cleared, we put the stack back on the camera and go through the result with you.

If the corrugated line in the garden has collapsed, is unclogging the pipe enough?

No. Unclogging removes the blockage temporarily, but if the line is damaged it is not a lasting fix. Corrugated and concrete pipe lines can be crushed by heavy vehicles passing over them, or roots can get in at the joints, which is why we check the inside of the cleared pipe with the camera. If the footage shows a break or crushing, we tell you that unclogging will only be temporary and recommend renewing just the damaged section.
