Kadıköy Drain Unclogging

Drain unclogging in Kadıköy is usually needed when a sink holds its water for a while or a gurgling sound rises from the shower tray. For a family in an older apartment building, the problem often starts at the kitchen sink, while in a detached house the bathroom and the washing machine can be affected together.

First we inspect the problem at your address and explain which drain is connected to which pipe, then we clear the drain with your approval. If needed, we look at the exact position of the blockage in the pipe together with you on a screen using a drain camera, then clear the line with a motorised drain snake or high-pressure water jetting and test the flow together. At Cantley, our aim is to reach the source of the problem without breaking the floor.

Drain problems in Kadıköy's older and newer buildings

In Moda and Yeldeğirmeni, stone apartment buildings from the early last century line the streets, while along Bağdat Caddesi and around Göztepe, Erenköy and Suadiye, newer and taller buildings put up through urban renewal stand out. The cast iron stacks in older buildings are rough on the inside, so grease and soap cling to these surfaces, and the blockage is often found at the connection running from the basement to the street. In the cafés of the Çarşı area, coffee grounds narrow the kitchen lines, in restaurants it is frying oil, and in basement bars the floor drains fill up with the previous night's waste.

This variety means the same symptom can appear for different reasons. In an older apartment building, a single blockage at the basement connection can slow the sinks in several flats at once. In a detached house or one with a garden, the drains are far from one another, so we first need to work out together which trap and which shared pipe is blocked.

Frequently asked questions

My sink drain is blocked in Kadıköy, what can I do at home?

First run lukewarm tap water in turn into the other drains in the same room, to see whether the blockage is in a single trap or in the shared pipe. Do not pour boiling water or put a chemical drain opener into the pipe, because the heat and the chemical reaction can damage it.

Why does a drain blockage in an older apartment building show up at the basement connection?

The cast iron stacks in older buildings are rough on the inside, so grease and soap cling to the surface easily. This connection, where the building's waste comes together, is the point where buildup collects the most.

What could be the cause if a drain blocks again soon after it has been cleared?

Usually only part of the blockage has been cut through and a sticky layer is left on the pipe wall, and new waste then clings to that layer. That is why we test the flow in all the drains together and, if needed, strip the grease off the wall with pressurised water.
