# Kartal Toilet Unclogging

Source: https://cantleyvidanjoraltyapi.com/en/kartal-toilet-unclogging/

Toilet unclogging in Kartal splits clearly into two kinds of job: older buildings near the coast and newer residences on the slopes. The same toilet symptom can show up in an old building with a cracked garden connection or in the shared stack of a tall tower, but the causes are different. At Cantley, before we touch the toilet, we inspect the situation at your address and explain the cause to you.

When the water rises and drains slowly after a flush, the first thing most people try is a plunger. But if the blockage has gone past the bend of the toilet and reached the wall connection or the shared stack, a plunger will not work and every flush raises the risk of an overflow. In Kartal this looks similar in a flat and in an apartment building, while the cause underneath may differ. We use tips that do not scratch the porcelain and, where needed, a camera, so we can see which point is blocked and show you.

## In Kartal, old buildings and new towers get the same toilet problem for different reasons

In older buildings on the flat ground near the coast, the garden connection cracks over time, and soil and roots can enter the waste line through those cracks. Lower basement floors can see backflow during downpours, so when the water in the toilet rises, looking only at the toilet is not enough. The condition of the stack should be checked at the same time.

In slope neighbourhoods such as Yakacık and Soğanlık, terrace and balcony drains can fall short in heavy rain. In newer residences, the water from many floors collects in a single stack, so grease and paper build up in the toilets on the lower floors. In buildings like these, seeing inside the pipe with a camera shows exactly which bend the blockage is stuck in.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can a toilet blockage in Kartal be cleared with a plunger?

If the blockage is light and sits in the bend of the toilet, a plunger sometimes works. But if the water keeps rising when you flush, insisting on the plunger can cause an overflow. A plunger is not enough for a blockage beyond the bend or in the stack. Seeing the situation with a camera avoids unnecessary attempts.

### Is the toilet taken off the floor to clear a blockage?

In most toilet blockages the toilet does not need to be removed. A drain snake with a sheathed tip goes in through the bend and tries to bring out the paper, wipes or hard object without scratching the porcelain. Do not try to remove the toilet yourself, as the connecting sleeve can shift out of place.

### What should I do if dirty water appears on a lower floor?

If you see dirty water in your floor drain even though you have not used your toilet, the problem is most likely in the building's shared stack. In that case, together with the building management, we go in through the stack's cleaning hatch or the manhole in the basement. The buildup at the elbow is cleared with a motorised drain snake or a robotic head, and the pipe is then flushed with high-pressure water jetting.
