Küçükçekmece Blocked Drain Clearing
When you notice your kitchen sink draining slowly, the first step in blocked drain clearing in Küçükçekmece is finding exactly where the blockage sits. Because the same symptom can come from four different places, we first check which section of the line it is in. Work on the wrong section leaves the blockage where it is, and the problem soon comes back bigger than before.
At addresses across all 39 districts of Istanbul, Cantley first finds the blockage by seeing inside the pipe. Once the camera has located it, a motorised drain snake, a robotic machine or high-pressure water jetting is used. The approach is different for each blockage, whether it is in the trap, the connecting pipe, the shared stack or the building outlet, so the method is chosen afresh at every address.
Older blocks of flats and busy trade in Küçükçekmece
In Cennet and Sefaköy, the shared stacks of decades-old blocks narrow over the years with grease and sediment. Overflows are common in lower-floor flats for this reason, because water coming down from the upper floors pushes the blockage back out of the first outlet it finds.
A family living on the second floor of an older block in Cennet may suspect the stack when dirty water rises from the shower drain. A new flat owner in Halkalı may find that the washbasin and the washing machine slow down together. In that case the blockage is usually in the connecting pipe under the screed.
Frequently asked questions
Can I clear a blocked drain myself in Küçükçekmece?
If the blockage is only near the trap, cleaning the trap yourself is sometimes enough. Do not use chemical drain opener, as it can damage the pipe and carries a splash risk. You can try warm tap water. If more than one drain is affected or water rises from other flats, it is safer to have it checked on site.
What does the team do first when they arrive for a blockage?
First they inspect the problem on site and explain the cause to you, then they start clearing the drain. Once the blockage is found, all drains are tested with plenty of water and the line is checked again with the camera. If there is a gradient fault or a sagging section, we show it to you on the footage and talk through what can be done.
Why does the restaurant drain in Sefaköy block so often?
Grease and flour residue cools in the kitchen line and coats the pipe wall, so the inner diameter narrows and the blockage returns quickly. On these lines, simply boring a hole through the middle is not enough: the grease has to be stripped completely from the pipe wall with pressurised water. Wiping grease off with paper and putting it in the bin, instead of pouring it down the sink, protects the line.
