# Kadıköy Sewer Line Unclogging

Source: https://cantleyvidanjoraltyapi.com/en/kadikoy-sewer-line-unclogging/

Sewer line unclogging in Kadıköy is most often needed after foul-smelling water rises from a shower drain in the morning. If the toilet water is rising in a ground-floor flat, or a sink drains slowly in an office in a commercial building, the problem may not be limited to that unit. We first inspect the building's main line with a camera and share the cause with you, then move on to clearing it.

At Cantley we do not start work without seeing where the blockage is, because cleaning the wrong spot can let the blockage return. A motorised drain snake and robotic machines break up roots and hardened waste, then the line is washed from end to end with high-pressure water. When the job is done, we confirm by camera that the line is clear all the way to the street connection, and you go over the result together with building management.

## Main line blockages in old and new buildings in Kadıköy

In the older stone buildings of Moda and Yeldeğirmeni, the main line is usually connected to cast iron stacks. The inside surface of these stacks is rough and holds on to grease and soap, so blockages often begin at the lower connection running from the basement to the street. In the cafés of the Çarşı area, coffee grounds narrow the kitchen lines, and in restaurants frying oil does the same.

Around Bağdat Caddesi, Göztepe, Erenköy and Suadiye, urban renewal has brought taller buildings, and as the number of flats grows, the old street connection carries a heavier load. In basement bars and taverns, floor drains fill up with waste left over from the night before. A ground-floor flat or an office in a commercial building is usually the first to see the water coming back, at the ground-floor drain.

## Frequently asked questions

### How can I tell if the main line is blocked in Kadıköy?

If waste water rises from the ground-floor toilet or shower drain, the main line has most likely closed up. If it happens again whenever water is used on the upper floors, ask your neighbours whether their drains slowed down on the same days.

### Who should I report it to if the manhole in the street is full?

If the manhole in the street is full and the building's last manhole is empty, the problem is in the public network and should be reported to İSKİ. The building's own line belongs to its residents, and the unclogging is carried out together with building management.

### Is it enough to pour a chemical opener into the blockage?

We do not recommend chemical openers, because a substance that may stay in the pipe for an unknown time can sit on top of a greasy blockage and damage the pipe. Not flushing wet wipes down the toilet and not pouring kitchen oil down the sink are the simplest ways to stop the line blocking again.

## If water is coming back up in Kadıköy, do not wait
