# Kağıthane Drain Unclogging

When water in the sink sits for a while before draining slowly, the need for drain unclogging in Kağıthane often starts with that first small sign. In Kağıthane, this problem develops differently depending on the age of the building and where the line runs.

A resident on the ground floor of a building with a shop in the basement noticed the water standing at the drain opening after a shower. The same day, the sink in the basement shop was also draining slowly, so the problem was not in a single trap. In cases like this, instead of clearing the traps one by one, you need to look at which drain's water is backing up on which line. If one point of the shared line is holding back the water from two flats and the shop, clearing just one side does not change the result.

## Drain unclogging in Kağıthane's older and newer buildings

In hillside neighbourhoods such as Gültepe and Çağlayan, the shared stacks of older apartment buildings collect grease and sediment from the upper floors in their lower sections. In ground-floor flats, overflow often starts when these stacks fill up. On the low streets near the stream, backflow into basements can occur during heavy downpours.

In office and residence buildings on the valley floor, the long, thin horizontal pipes of small flats connect to the stack, which makes it easier for sediment to build up. Because office kitchenettes are used heavily during working hours, blockages usually start in the middle of the day. Whatever the building, choosing a method without seeing where the blockage is would be the wrong approach.

## Frequently asked questions

### Why does a sink drain slowly in Kağıthane?

The most common cause is hair, soap and grease building up on the pipe wall. In the bathroom, hair and soap form this layer, and in the kitchen it is grease, and over time it narrows the pipe's diameter.

### How is the blockage found before unclogging the drain?

First we ask which drains are affected and whether another drain on the same line makes noises or overflows. If needed, a thin-cable camera shows the location of the blockage on a screen.

### Does using a chemical drain opener solve the problem?

Most of the time it only dissolves the top layer, the rest of the blockage stays in place and the drain fills up again soon. Because chemicals left inside the pipe can make the next job dangerous, do not try it on your own.
