Drain and Sewer Services in Kadıköy
When you need drain unclogging in Kadıköy, Cantley comes 24/7 to every address in the district, from the narrow streets of Moda to the Bostancı seafront, and clears the blocked drain without breaking tiles or walls. It might be the sink of a café in the town centre, the shared stack of a hundred-year-old building in Yeldeğirmeni, or the bathroom of a newly built block in Göztepe. Our team looks inside the pipe with a camera, shows you the problem on the screen, and only then works on that exact point with a drain snake or high-pressure water. The stairwell and shared areas are protected while we work. Basement businesses are reached in the same way.
In Kadıköy, old buildings and new blocks that rose through urban redevelopment stand side by side on the same streets, and each has a different drain problem. In older buildings, cast iron pipes that have aged for decades hold deposits. In new buildings, leftover construction debris narrows the flow. In town-centre businesses, grease and coffee grounds load the lines. Tell us the type of your building and the problem you are having by phone or on WhatsApp. Our team explains the cause on site and starts only with your approval. Whether it is a flat in Fenerbahçe or Caddebostan or a business in the town centre, the method is the same.
Old stacks, new blocks and the kitchens of the town centre
Kadıköy is one of the oldest settlements on the Anatolian side. In Moda and Yeldeğirmeni, stone buildings from the early last century and concrete buildings several decades old line the narrow streets. The town centre and its surroundings are full of cafés, restaurants, taverns and small shops, and many businesses operate in a basement or on the ground floor. Along Bağdat Caddesi, around Göztepe, Erenköy and Suadiye, urban redevelopment has replaced older buildings with new and taller ones. Fenerbahçe and Caddebostan are known for being close to the coast. With this variety, you will rarely find two similar drain problems in the district; every building carries its own history in its pipes.
In older buildings, cast iron stacks are rough on the inside and easily catch grease and soap. In these buildings the blockage is often in the lower part of the stack, at the connection running from the basement out to the street. In town-centre cafés, coffee grounds and milk residue narrow the kitchen lines, and in restaurants frying oil and food waste do the same. In new redevelopment buildings, a higher number of flats means the old street connection carries more load. In older flats under renovation, plaster, mortar and tile adhesive can get into the pipes. In basement bars and taverns, floor drains fill with the night's waste and leave a bad smell by morning.
Jobs in Kadıköy, from cafés to flats under renovation
In Kadıköy we are called out most often for these five situations. We tell which one applies at your address from the camera image on site.
Kitchen Sink Unclogging
When the kitchen drain of a restaurant in the Kadıköy town centre starts to overflow during service, we break up the frying oil and food waste in the line with high-pressure water. We then check the grease trap and advise the business on how often to empty it. If needed, we work after closing time.
Sewer Camera Inspection
Before starting a renovation in an old building in Yeldeğirmeni, looking at the drain line with a camera lets you see in advance the problems that would end up under new tiles. We examine the condition of the stack and the connections together on the screen. This footage also makes your builder's job easier.
Washbasin Unclogging
In the sink behind a café bar, coffee grounds and milk residue form a dark sludge in the pipe bends. We remove the trap and clean it, clear the pipe with a drain snake, and recommend fitting the sink with a strainer that catches grounds. We work without touching the equipment behind the bar.
PVC Drain Pipe Unclogging
In an old building in Moda, if part of the cast iron stack has been replaced with PVC pipe over the years, deposits build up where the two materials meet. We clear this transition with a drain snake, check it with the camera, and recommend a repair if needed. The rest of the stack is seen in the same inspection.
Backflow Valve Installation
In a building close to the coast with a low basement, water from the street line can flow back in during a downpour. By fitting a backflow valve at the building outlet, we protect the basement flat or the business in the basement against backflow. Before fitting, we clear and clean the building line.

Frequently asked questions
Is coffee grounds what blocks the sink of our café in the Kadıköy town centre?
Most likely, yes. Coffee grounds do not dissolve in water, and when they mix with milk and detergent they form a heavy sludge in the pipe bends. In a café, the grounds poured down over a whole day quickly narrow the sink pipe. Putting the grounds in the bin and fitting a fine-mesh strainer to the drain reduces this problem noticeably. If the sink is already slow, the pipe needs to be cleared first.
Should we have the drain line checked before renovating our old building in Moda?
Yes, it is wise to have it checked before the renovation. With a camera you see the condition of the stack and the pipes inside the flat; if there is a crack, a deposit or a reverse slope, it is fixed before new tiles and cabinets go in. That way you do not have to reopen a freshly finished bathroom a few months later. The camera also helps you estimate how much life the old stack has left.
Why do the drains smell in our newly built building in Göztepe?
In new buildings, common causes of smell are the trap water drying out in unused drains, a vent pipe that has not been fully connected, or construction debris holding water in the line. First run water down all the drains. If the smell continues, we check the line with a camera and show you which of these is the cause. In a new building, these signs usually appear in the first months.
Why does water come back into our basement business in Kadıköy during a downpour?
Because the basement sits lower than the street line, when the street line fills in a downpour the water heads for the lowest outlet and comes back through your drain. The lasting fix is to fit a backflow valve at the building outlet. We first clear the line and check it with the camera, then determine the right point for the backflow valve. In the meantime, lift the goods in the basement off the floor.
