Drain and Sewer Services in Kartal
For drain unclogging in Kartal, Cantley comes 24/7 to every address in the district, from the seafront strip to the Yakacık and Soğanlık slopes, and clears the blocked drain without breaking tiles or walls. Our team first inspects the inside of the pipe with a camera and shows you on the screen where the blockage is and why it formed. Then we work only on that spot with a motorised drain snake, a robot or high-pressure water jetting, so the tiles in your bathroom and the cabinets in your kitchen stay where they are. When the work is done, we test the drains together with you. We also come to businesses on the seafront, day or night.
In Kartal, older apartment buildings, new blocks rising through urban regeneration and houses with gardens on the slopes all sit side by side in the same district. The difference in ground level between the low areas near the coast and the neighbourhoods on the hill also affects how drain lines behave. If you tell us on the phone or on WhatsApp how old your building is, which floor you are on and where the problem started, our team can arrive with the right equipment. At the address we explain the cause clearly, and the work starts only with your approval. For buildings going through regeneration, we also talk to the management.
A changing seafront and sloping neighbourhoods
Kartal lies on the Marmara coast of the Anatolian side and is one of the districts that has been renewed the most in recent years. On the flat land near the seafront there are decades-old apartment buildings, the market area and restaurants. On sites that used to hold industrial facilities and along the main roads, tall residential towers and serviced residences have gone up. Further north the land rises quickly; in neighbourhoods such as Yakacık and Soğanlık there are sloping streets, apartment buildings set into the hillside and houses with gardens. Because urban regeneration continues in almost every corner of the district, old and new buildings stand together on the same street. The Marmaray and metro connections have also played a part in how quickly the district has become denser.
In older apartment buildings near the seafront, the garden connection between the building and the street cracks over time and takes root, while low basement floors are exposed to backflow in downpours. In buildings on the slopes, terrace and balcony drains can fall short in heavy rain. Because new regeneration buildings connect more flats to old street lines, narrowing and blockages show up at the connection points. In restaurants and bakeries in the market area, the kitchen lines are loaded with grease and flour residue. In each case, looking at the footage first makes it easier to choose the right method. In the new towers, the water of many floors is collected in a single shared stack, so grease build-up appears in the lower sections.
Where old meets new: common faults in Kartal
In calls from Kartal addresses, these are the five jobs we do most often. Some of them are urgent and some are planned; in all of them we work from the camera image.
Sewer Line Renewal
In an older apartment building near the seafront, if the garden line running from the building to the street has cracked and taken root, clearing it is quick work. We use the camera to mark the limits of the damaged section and recommend renewing only that part. The rest of the garden is left untouched. When the job is done, the flow is checked again with the camera.
Backflow Valve Installation
In a building near the seafront whose basement sits low, the street line backs up in a downpour and dirty water rises through the floor drain. By fitting a backflow valve at the building outlet, you cut off this return flow and protect the basement flat or storage room. We clean the line before fitting it.
CCTV Drain Unclogging
If the drains in a new building put up through regeneration slow down soon after moving in, the cause may be construction debris or a narrowing in the old street connection. We use the camera to see which it is and clear the problem spot from the inside. We show the result to the management on video.
Kitchen Sink Unclogging
When the kitchen drain of a restaurant in the Kartal market area is blocked with grease and food residue, we clean the line with pressurised water and clear the remaining blockage with the snake. We also remind the business to empty the grease trap regularly. So that service is not disrupted, we plan the work for the restaurant's quiet hours.
Balcony Drain Unclogging
In hillside houses in Yakacık, soil and leaves fill the terrace and balcony drains in heavy rain, and water spills over the threshold into the home. We clear the strainer and the downpipe, open the water's path again and check the flow. We work without touching your terrace floor.

Frequently asked questions
Why does dirty water come into the basement of our building near the seafront in Kartal during downpours?
In the low areas near the seafront, the street line fills up in a downpour and the water comes back through the lowest outlet of the building, that is, the drains in the basement. First we check with the camera whether there is a blockage in the building's own line. If the line is clear, fitting a backflow valve at the building outlet prevents this backflow permanently. If you keep valuables in the basement, lift them off the floor.
Why is the drain running slowly in our new building in Kartal built through urban regeneration?
There are two common reasons for slow flow in new buildings: mortar and plaster that got into the pipes during construction, or a building with more flats being connected to the old street connection. We use the camera to see which applies, then either clear the deposit from the inside or show the management the condition of the connection. Once it is clear which one it is, the method becomes clear too.
Why does the terrace of our house in Yakacık overflow in heavy rain?
Terrace overflow is usually caused by the strainer or the downpipe filling with leaves and soil. In hillside houses, wind and rain carry this debris to the drain in a short time. Cleaning the strainer regularly helps; if the pipe is blocked on the inside, we clear it with the snake. Checking the strainers more often in autumn prevents blockages.
Do we have to dig up the garden to renew the garden line of our older apartment building in Kartal?
Usually there is no need to dig up the whole garden. We use the camera to measure at which metres of the line there is a crack or collapse, and we limit the excavation to that section only. The sound pipe sections and your garden layout are kept. The new pipe is connected at the correct gradient, and when the job is done the flow is checked again with the camera. The dig area is restored to its former state when the work is finished.
