Kadıköy Commercial Kitchen Drain Clearing
If you see grey water starting to rise at the bottom of the sink before you begin the morning washing-up, commercial kitchen drain clearing in Kadıköy is a job to deal with without delay. In one old building in Moda, an elderly couple's slow kitchen sink filled completely one morning, and foul-smelling water overflowed from the floor drain.
In a case like this, taking the trap apart straight away is often the wrong start, because the kitchen's drains all join the same shared line. First we listen to how the kitchen is used at the address, then we open the floor drains and the grease trap and show you on the spot what is blocking what. After that we wash the line through from end to end with pressurised water and check together with you on camera whether any grease is left inside.
Old stacks and busy commercial kitchens in Kadıköy
The kitchen stacks in the stone buildings of Moda and Yeldeğirmeni mostly run through cast iron pipe, and over the years the inside surface wears away. Greasy residue grips this rough surface tightly. The blockage most often forms in the basement, at the point where the stack connects to the street.
The basement kitchens around the Çarşı area and the new buildings rising along Bağdat Caddesi carry very different loads. When the number of flats grows through redevelopment, the old street connection can struggle with the extra load, and kitchen water can come back up into the neighbouring sinks on the upper floors. That is why, in Göztepe, Erenköy, Suadiye and Caddebostan, we also look at the condition of the building's stack when we clear a single sink.
Frequently asked questions
Why is my sink draining slowly in Kadıköy?
Most of the time the shared pipe where the kitchen drains join is blocked, and the trap is only the first symptom. Grease and food residue narrow the inner diameter over time. In old Kadıköy buildings this narrowing can start at the basement connection and spread upwards. If several sinks slow down at the same time, the shared line needs to be checked as well.
Is clearing a blocked drain in a commercial kitchen different from a home kitchen?
Yes. In a restaurant, café or pastry shop far more grease and solid waste goes into the line, so the method changes too. Opening the trap alone is not enough: the floor drain, the grease trap and the main line are inspected together. Once the washing is finished, we look at any grease left inside the pipe with a camera.
Can I try to clear the blockage myself at home?
Yes, small steps such as running lukewarm tap water and cleaning the trap are a sensible start, but boiling water and chemical drain openers are not recommended. Boiling water can deform plastic traps, and chemical openers can corrode the pipe and turn it into a bigger job. If several drains are running slowly or a sour smell is spreading through the kitchen, it is better to contact us in Kadıköy.
