Kağıthane Sewer Line Unclogging
The need for sewer line unclogging in Kağıthane is usually noticed when waste water rises from a ground-floor toilet or a bad smell comes from a shower drain. In that case the problem is not limited to a single flat. It may have settled in the main line that collects all of the building's drains, and waiting only makes the overflow worse.
Cantley first looks at how the line in your building works, on site, and talks through the cause with you. Only then do we work on the drain. We open the manholes one by one and compare the water levels, then confirm the position of the blockage with a camera. Once the line has been cleared with a motorised drain snake and high-pressure water jetting, it is checked again as far as the point where it joins the street.
In Kağıthane, older apartment blocks and new residences share the same line
On the steep streets of Gültepe and Çağlayan, the shared stacks of buildings put up many years ago collect grease and sediment in their lower section. In ground-floor flats, overflow is most often seen at the foot of these stacks. In a detached house with a garden, the line from the drains out to the street is longer, so tree roots in the garden can reach it.
On the valley floor, areas that once held industry and warehouses have now become offices and residences with many flats. In the small flats of these residences, the kitchen and bathroom pipes join the stack through thin, long horizontal runs, so sediment builds up easily in them. In office buildings, the tea points and shared toilets are used heavily during working hours, so blockages often start in the middle of the day. New buildings also end up connecting to the valley's old main lines, so the junction points get extra careful checking.
Frequently asked questions
What should I do if waste water comes up from the ground-floor toilet in Kağıthane?
First, check whether waste water rises from the drain on the ground floor or in the basement when water is used on the upper floors. If it does, the problem is most likely in the building's main line, so tell building management straight away. Do not take the toilet apart yourself, and do not go down into the manhole or the basement. Pouring in a chemical drain opener is risky, because it can harden the build-up in the pipe.
Is the blockage coming from the street network or from the building's own line?
The difference is found by looking at the building's last manhole. If the last manhole is empty and the manhole in the street is full, the problem is in the network and should be reported to İSKİ. If the line running through the building and its plot is full, the unclogging is done on the building side, and residents should not work on the network themselves.
How does sewer line unclogging proceed inside the building?
It starts with opening the manhole covers one by one, from the inside outwards, and reading the water levels. Once the blockage has been narrowed down, a camera is sent in and the footage is watched together with the management representative. The line is then cleaned from start to finish with a motorised drain snake and high-pressure water jetting. In the last step, water is run from the building's floors and the flow is checked.
