Kartal Drain Unclogging
Calls for drain unclogging in Kartal mostly come from grease and hair building up in kitchen sink and bathroom lines. In this district, old buildings near the coast stand on the same streets as new towers, and in many flats the waste passes through a shared stack. We first look at the address, work out whether the problem is in a single trap or further along the shared pipe, and explain it to you.
In a flat you have just moved into, a slow sink is often caused by a clump of hair and soap or by buildup left from the previous occupants. In a new multi-storey residence, the lower floors drain into the same stack, so one blocked drain can affect your neighbours too. At Cantley, we listen to the symptoms, find out which line is affected, and then clear the pipe without breaking tiles or walls.
Old apartment blocks and new towers sharing the same line in Kartal
In older buildings near the coast, the garden connection pipes can crack over time, and low basement floors are exposed to backflow during heavy rain. In hillside neighbourhoods such as Yakacık and Soğanlık, terrace and balcony drains may not cope with hard downpours. In buildings like these, the first step is to establish whether the blockage belongs to a single flat or to the building's line.
Towers built through urban renewal connect more flats to the old street lines, so narrowing is seen at the connection points. In new residences where the water from many floors gathers in one stack, grease buildup speeds up in the lower sections. We first explain which section is affected and, if needed, show you the pipe with a camera.
Frequently asked questions
Can a slow sink in Kartal be cleared?
In most cases it can, but first we need to find the point where the slowness starts. Please do not pour chemical drain opener yourself, as it can damage the pipe and make the next step harder.
What does it mean if several drains are blocked at the same time?
If several drains have a problem at once, the blockage is usually further along the shared pipe. Trying to clear the traps one by one gives no result and leads to unnecessary work. It is better to talk to your building manager and check together where the pipe narrows.
Is the trap taken apart when a drain is cleared?
If necessary, the trap is removed, but only to tell a clump of hair apart from a blockage in the shared pipe. Please do not remove the toilet or the trap yourself, as a badly fitted seal can cause leaks.
