# Kadıköy No-Dig Drain Unclogging

The need for no-dig drain unclogging in Kadıköy often begins on the morning you notice the sink draining slowly. If the water sits for a while and only just drains away, and the shower does the same, the problem is not in a single fixture.

Many people who see this symptom first think of breaking the tiles to look for the blockage in the pipe. Yet residue in the shared line where several drains meet, or in a bend, is rarely where you would guess from outside the wall. The Cantley team feeds the camera into the pipe through the nearest drain opening or cleaning hatch, shows you the position of the blockage on the screen and talks through what to do with you.

## In Kadıköy, where the blockage forms depends on the age of the building

In the stone apartment buildings from the turn of the last century in Moda and Yeldeğirmeni, the cast iron stacks have a rough inner surface that easily catches grease and soap. In these buildings the blockage often forms in the connection running from the basement out to the street, in the lower section of the stack. When this spot is found on camera, no unnecessary breaking is done.

Along Bağdat Caddesi and around Göztepe, Erenköy and Suadiye, new buildings have increased the number of flats, so the old street connection carries a heavier load. When the sink and shower in an elderly couple's flat in Göztepe slow down together, the shared line is found by camera and cleared without breaking tiles. In a newly occupied flat in Erenköy, plaster that got into the pipes during renovation can show itself after the move; in that case the camera shows where the blockage is and work goes down to a single point.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is done in Kadıköy before breaking tiles for a blockage?

First, the inside of the pipe is checked by camera to establish the position and type of the blockage. Based on that footage, the drain is cleared with a robot, a drain snake or high-pressure water, and the tiles stay in place. Even when breaking is necessary, only a single small spot is chosen.

### If the sink and shower slow down at the same time, where is the problem?

Most likely in the shared line where these drains meet. There is no need to break the floor to reach this line: access is made from the nearest cleaning opening with a drain snake or a robot.

### Does a chemical drain opener work in old pipes?

It usually does not clear the blockage completely and risks damaging the surface of the pipe. In old cast iron or plastic lines, the chemical can shift the residue and weaken the joints. Boiling water can also damage plastic pipes and fittings, so it is safer to stick to lukewarm tap water.
