For balcony drain unclogging in Küçükçekmece, our team first opens the strainer and looks inside as soon as we arrive at the address. Before choosing a method we inspect the line with a camera, because the blockage is often close to the bend just below the strainer. We clear the bend with a thin-tipped motorised drain snake, and if sediment is left inside the pipe we flush it out with high-pressure water.

Balcony drains are often forgotten until a heavy downpour leaves a pond on the balcony. Soil spilling from plant pots, leaves blown in by the wind and sand washed down with cleaning water harden inside the pipe and turn into a sludge that water cannot pass through. Once the water reaches the threshold, it can seep in under the door or down to the flat below. If you see a damp stain on the ceiling downstairs, it is better to have the drain inspected before repainting.

## Why balcony drain problems are common in Küçükçekmece

In the older buildings of Cennet and Sefaköy, the downpipes run into shared stacks and narrow over time. On the main streets, in buildings with a shop or restaurant on the ground floor, the same line carries the water of both the flats and the commercial space. In the newer housing complexes in Halkalı, the water from the blocks goes to manholes, and if the manholes are not kept clean, the flow slows down across the whole complex.

On low-lying streets near the lake shore, lines can fill up during a downpour and cause backflow, so we also check where the line connects. In Sefaköy, a building caretaker who notices water dripping from an upper-floor balcony wants to know which line the problem belongs to. A tenant reports the puddle to the landlord, and the landlord wants the drain inspected before any painting is done.

## Frequently asked questions

### My balcony drain is blocked in Küçükçekmece, what should I do first?

First open the strainer grate and pick out leaves, soil and moss by hand, then slowly pour in lukewarm tap water and watch the flow. Boiling water can deform a plastic pipe, and chemical drain openers can also react inside the pipe and create a risk. If the water still does not drain away, call us for a camera inspection.

### I closed off my balcony drain and laid new flooring, can it be opened later?

In most cases it can, but first the camera must be used to find out where the connection leads. Mortar and silicone that got inside during the closing will cause the pipe to block later. After that check, we work with as little breaking of the balcony floor as possible.

### There is a stain on the ceiling of the flat below, could my balcony drain be the cause?

It could, because water collecting on the balcony may get past the waterproofing and seep down. Painting or waterproofing repairs done without unclogging the drain lead to the stain coming back. It is better to have the strainer and the bend inspected first and see how the water flows.
