# Kartal Shower and Bathtub Drain Unclogging

The question we hear most often with shower and bathtub drain unclogging in Kartal is why the water won't drain in the shower and whether it will clear by itself. If water pools and takes a long time to go down, a layer of hair and soap may have built up under the strainer.

Cantley starts every bathroom drain job by looking with a camera, so we can see where the blockage is and how deep it sits. The motorised drain snake, robotic head or high-pressure water jetting is chosen based on what we see, and we work without breaking tiles or the floor. As a team you can reach day and night, we share the cause with you before the work begins.

## Bathroom drains in Kartal's older apartment buildings and on its sloping streets

Kartal is a mix of older apartment buildings close to the seafront, houses with gardens on the hillside and new towers standing side by side. In older buildings the bathroom line joins the shared stack through a long pipe with little fall, and this is where residue collects most. On sloping streets such as those in Yakacık and Soğanlık, it is hard to tell which drain is causing the problem without seeing it on site.

Two typical situations come up in Kartal. In a student flat or dormitory, the bathroom is used by many people during the day, so hair and shaving hair build up quickly in the strainer. In a family home in an older building, the residue on the pipe wall may have thickened, or grout fragments left over from a bathroom renovation may have got into the line. In both cases we inspect on site first, then clear the drain.

## Frequently asked questions

### If the water won't drain in the shower in Kartal, is it a blockage?

Yes, in most cases water that stands for a long time points to hair and soap residue building up under the strainer or in the trap. In older buildings in Kartal this buildup can sometimes reach the shared line, so if the blockage is not visible, it needs to be checked on site with a camera.

### Is pouring a chemical drain opener into the bathroom drain enough?

No, chemical openers may reach only part of the blockage, and the mixture left in the pipe is a risk for whoever has to work on it afterwards. A safer first step is to clean the strainer and flush the line with lukewarm tap water.

### Why does the bathroom drain in a student flat get blocked so often?

When many people use the same bathroom, hair and shaving hair build up faster, and the problem often settles in the shared line. If cleaning the strainer is not enough, the line is inspected with a camera and a motorised drain snake or robotic head is chosen depending on where the blockage is.
