# Kadıköy Washbasin Unclogging

When you wash your face in the morning and the water sits at the bottom of the basin and drains away slowly, it is the first sign that you need washbasin unclogging in Kadıköy. Turning the tap on and off in the hope that it will sort itself out usually makes the problem worse. At Cantley we first inspect the trap and the line on site and explain the cause to you, then we clear the drain.

Take an elderly couple living in a flat in Moda. One morning the basin starts to empty slowly, and a few days later grey water collects at the bottom. They assume it will pass, but the blockage keeps growing in the first few centimetres of the drain. In a ground-floor flat, bubbles in the basin when the shower is running point to a narrowing in the shared line.

## Washbasin drains in Kadıköy's older and newer buildings

In Moda and Yeldeğirmeni, old stone apartment buildings stand next to concrete ones. The inside of the cast iron shared stacks in these buildings is rough, so soap and grease cling to it. If the washbasin line connects to that stack, the blockage often forms at the connection running from the basement out to the street.

In the newer buildings around Göztepe, Erenköy and Suadiye, the number of flats has grown, so the old street connection carries a heavier load. Coffee grounds and milk residue in cafés in the market area, and plaster and tile adhesive in renovated older flats, can narrow the washbasin line. In older buildings the thin pipe running from the trap to the wall may have narrowed on the inside, which is why the basin blocks again quickly even after it has been cleaned.

## Frequently asked questions

### My washbasin is draining slowly in Kadıköy. Can I clear it myself?

For a slight slowdown, checking the drain opening and the plug is the first step you can take. Do not force the seal when you remove the plug, because a damaged seal causes a leak under the basin. Do not use a chemical drain opener either, as it can react in the trap before the blockage has closed completely and damage the pipe and seals.

### Which places does the washbasin unclogging service cover?

We clear washbasins in homes, apartment and site management buildings, shops, restaurants, offices and other businesses. A café washbasin in Moda and a flat's bathroom in Göztepe are checked with the same steps, because every line is built differently. If the blockage keeps coming back, we look inside the pipe with a camera.

### Are tiles or the countertop removed when the washbasin is cleared?

No. The trap and the plug are cleaned first, and if the problem is in the wall line, we work through it with a fine-tipped motorised drain snake without removing tiles or the countertop. We decide what to do after seeing the condition of the line on camera. If anything has to be removed, we tell you clearly before starting work.
