Drain and Sewer Services in Kağıthane
When you call Cantley for drain unclogging in Kağıthane, we come to any home or business address in the district, from Çağlayan to Gültepe, 24/7, and clear the drain without breaking tiles or walls. It might be the shared stack of an old hillside building, the shower drain in a residence flat or the car park manhole of an office block. The team first looks inside the pipe with a camera and shows you the blockage on screen. Then we clear only that spot with a drain snake, a robot or high-pressure water. In offices, we plan the work around your working hours.
Kağıthane has been one of the fastest-changing districts in recent years, with office towers and residences rising right next to the old neighbourhood fabric. So on the same day we may work in a building that is decades old and in a brand-new development. Tell us on the phone or on WhatsApp the type of building, your floor and when the problem started. At the address the team explains the cause, goes ahead in consultation with you and finishes the job without breaking tiles or walls.
From hillside streets to towers by the stream
Kağıthane stretches along the valley formed by the stream it is named after. On the slopes on both sides of the valley, in neighbourhoods such as Gültepe and Çağlayan, there are old apartment buildings lined up along steep streets, many of them extended later. On the valley floor, areas that once held industry and warehouses have turned into office buildings, shopping centres and residence projects. So in the district, old buildings with narrow shafts live side by side with new, multi-flat buildings with covered car parks, all connected to the same infrastructure. The plumbing of the new buildings may be modern, but it still ends up joining the valley's old main lines, and these junction points create a bottleneck from time to time.
In old hillside apartment buildings, the lower sections of the shared stacks collect grease and sediment from the upper floors and cause overflows in the ground floor flats. In the low areas around the stream, street lines can fill up in heavy rain and cause backflow into basement floors. In residences, small flats are packed closely together, so kitchen and bathroom pipes connect to the stack through thin, long horizontal runs, which makes sediment build up more easily. In office buildings, tea points and shared toilets are used heavily during working hours, so blockages mostly start in the middle of the day. Whatever type of building you are in, we do not choose a method before we see where the blockage is.
Common jobs in residences, offices and old apartment buildings
These are the jobs we do most often in the different building types in Kağıthane. The method changes with the building, but we start every job with the camera.
Sewer Line Unclogging
On a low street near the stream, when the building's street connection blocks, every flat is affected as soon as heavy rain arrives. We clear the connection with high-pressure water and run the camera along to the street line to show you whether there is any narrowing or collapse. If needed, we also explain the backflow valve option.
Toilet Unclogging
If water rises from the ground floor toilet in an old apartment building in Gültepe, the problem is most likely at the foot of the shared stack. We clear the stack from the bottom with a motorised drain snake and check that the flow has improved by running water from the upper floors. We also check the inner surface of the stack with the camera.
Kitchen Sink Unclogging
In a residence flat, the kitchen sink is connected to the stack by a long, thin horizontal pipe, and grease builds up easily in this horizontal section. We clear the pipe with a drain snake from under the cabinet and clean its walls with warm high-pressure water. We also check the dishwasher connection.
Shower and Bathtub Drain Unclogging
In the recessed shower drains of newer buildings, hair and soap residue collect right under the grate. We remove the drain and clean it, clear the pipe beyond it with a drain snake and put the grate back. Your bathroom tiles are left untouched. We also clean the odour trap under the drain grate.
Manhole Unclogging
When the manholes and grates in the covered car park of an office building fill up with mud, sand and leaves, rainwater collects in the car park. We clean the manhole and the connected lines with high-pressure water and check that the flow has improved. Nobody should climb down into the manhole.

Frequently asked questions
Why does the ground floor of our old hillside apartment building in Kağıthane keep overflowing?
Overflow on the ground floor is mostly caused by the building's shared stack blocking at the bottom. When water from the upper floors cannot get past the blockage, it rises from the ground floor drains, which are the lowest outlet. After clearing the stack from the bottom, we check its inner surface with the camera, and if there is a recurring narrowing, we show the footage to the management. Do not use the lower floor drains in the meantime.
Why does the drain back up in the rain in our building near the stream in Kağıthane?
In the low areas near the stream, the street line fills up in heavy rain, so water comes back up through the lowest drain in the building. We first clear the building connection and check it with the camera, then look at whether there is also a separate blockage in the line. For a lasting solution, a backflow valve may need to be fitted at the building outlet. Not using the basement drains during heavy rain also reduces the damage.
A toilet in our Kağıthane office blocked during working hours. Can it be cleared without stopping work?
In most cases, yes. A blockage in a single toilet can be cleared while the other toilets are in use. If the problem is in the shared stack, that line should not be used for a short time during the work. If you tell us on the phone how many toilets are affected, the team plans the job to disturb your working hours as little as possible. Tell your staff not to flush the blocked toilet again.
Why does the kitchen sink in my residence flat in Çağlayan block so quickly?
In residences, the kitchen sink is usually connected to the stack by a long, almost flat horizontal pipe. When the slope is slight, grease and food residue settle easily in this section and form a layer. Not pouring grease down the sink and running warm water for a while after washing up delays blockages. If the blockage keeps coming back, we check the slope of the horizontal pipe with the camera.
