Kartal Sewer Camera Inspection

When our team arrives for a sewer camera inspection in Kartal, the first job is to choose the access point where the camera can enter most easily. If the line is very dirty, a short water rinse comes first, because a crack under the sludge cannot be made out on the screen. The lit camera, attached to a flexible cable, then moves slowly through the pipe, and the distance of every finding from the entry point is recorded.

If a family in an older building has a sink that keeps draining slowly, the problem is most likely a permanent obstruction inside the line. In student flats or dorms, the kitchen and bathroom lines can clog at the same spot again and again. In such cases the camera shows you on screen whether the blockage comes from roots or from a displaced joint. The Cantley team points out the findings one by one on the screen and works out with you which job is needed.

Line checks for Kartal's older buildings and new towers

In older buildings near the coast, the garden connection between the building and the street cracks over time and opens the way for roots, while low basement floors are exposed to backflow in heavy downpours. In hillside neighbourhoods such as Yakacık and Soğanlık, sloping streets and terrace drains can fall short in hard rain. In these buildings the damage often develops underground and shows on the surface only as a damp stain or a slow drain.

Because new buildings from urban renewal connect many flats to old street lines, narrowing and blockages can appear at the connection points. Restaurants and bakeries in the town centre fill their kitchen lines with grease and flour residue, and in the new towers the water of many floors gathers in a single shared stack, so grease builds up in the lower sections. In a district made busier by the Marmaray and metro connections, the route of a line is often unknown, and as the camera moves forward it also reveals which way the pipe runs.

Frequently asked questions

Do walls or floors need to be broken for a sewer camera inspection in Kartal?

Usually not, because the camera is sent into the line from the access point and moves along without opening walls or floors. Any damage found can be marked on the floor above, and only that section is opened if it is needed.

Why is a camera check done after a blockage is cleared?

The camera check after cleaning is done to see that the pipe is really clear and that no damage is left inside. Seeing the cleaned line with your own eyes makes it easier to plan when the next maintenance is due.

How can I find out about the pipe under the floor when buying an older flat?

A camera inspection before purchase or renovation shows the condition of the line under the floor. If a crack or a displaced joint is found before the tiles are laid, the new floor covering does not have to be broken up later.
