# Güngören Toilet Unclogging

Source: https://cantleyvidanjoraltyapi.com/en/gungoren-toilet-unclogging/

The need for toilet unclogging in Güngören usually starts the moment you flush and notice the water slowly rising in the bowl. If the water still won't go down after a try or two with the plunger, it becomes unclear whether the blockage is in the toilet, in the bathroom line or in the shared stack. At Cantley we first look at the problem on site, and once we have explained the cause to you, we work on the drain.

If the toilet in a café or restaurant on the Merter side blocks during the lunchtime rush, both the kitchen and the dining room are disrupted that same day. A family living in an older building may notice that water from the morning shower swells up in the toilet, and a little later that a smell of foul water is coming from the lower floors. In both cases the first attempt inside the toilet bowl may not be enough, because the blockage is often waiting further along the pipe or in the shared stack.

## How Güngören's building stock makes blockages worse

On the Merter side of Güngören, business centres, shop and showroom floors and workshops tucked into basements all sit side by side. Elsewhere, five- and six-storey apartment buildings line the narrow streets tightly against each other, and the ground floors are mostly shops. With housing and commerce so mixed together, the drain lines carry different loads throughout the day. The shared toilets in business centres are used heavily, so paper and wipes reach the stack line and catch there.

Basement workshops sit below street level, so backflow can occur in rainy weather. In apartment buildings, old shared stacks collect the kitchen grease from the upper floors in their lower sections, so residents of the ground and first floors are usually the first to notice the problem. When a stack or shared line is blocked, looking inside it with a camera first is safer than working on guesswork. For businesses, it is usually sensible to schedule drain work outside working hours so that operations are not disrupted.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is a plunger not enough when a toilet blocks in Güngören?

Most of the time it is not, especially if the water doesn't go down at all or the blockage has reached the connection beyond the toilet bowl. In that case, flushing again and again can make the water overflow. Any work done inside the bowl without finding out where the problem is remains guesswork.

### Does the toilet have to be removed when unclogging it?

No, in most cases there is no need to take the toilet off its base. A sheathed-tip drain snake goes in through the bend and either breaks up the mass of paper and tissue or winds it onto itself and pulls it out, without scratching the porcelain. Even when the toilet does need to be removed, we recommend that you don't do this yourself.

### If foul water is coming from the flat below, is it a toilet blockage?

Usually it is not, because if foul water can appear without your toilet being touched at all, the problem is most often in the building's shared stack. When waste from the upper floors cannot go down, it finds the lowest outlet. In this case, clearing the stack is arranged together with building management, and a backflow valve can be discussed if needed.
