# Küçükçekmece Channel Drain Unclogging

Requests for channel drain unclogging in Küçükçekmece often come after rain, because the channels outside a building have to carry the water running down from above, the mud brought in by tyres and the soil washed off gardens, all on their own. On streets near the main roads where homes and shops share the same building, or in the low-lying areas by the lake, these lines fill up sooner. Waiting at this stage can let the overflow reach your doorstep and come inside.

A family living on the ground floor of an old apartment building in Cennet first assumes the heavy smell rising from the grate is just the rain and ignores it. In a building with a basement in Sefaköy, the water is seen slowly rising through the basement floor drain after the downpour has eased. Before clearing the drain, Cantley looks inside the line with a camera and shares the cause it finds with you.

## Why drainage lines fill up quickly in Küçükçekmece

The difference in ground level is noticeable in Küçükçekmece. On low streets by the lake, when the line cannot cope with a downpour, water can flow back into basements. In the housing complexes of Halkalı, water from the blocks reaches the manhole through long shared lines, and if the manhole is not cleaned regularly, the flow spreads across the whole complex.

In Cennet and Sefaköy, the shared stacks of older apartment buildings have narrowed over the years with grease and sediment, so overflow on the lower floors is common. In the restaurants and bakeries on Sefaköy's busy streets, the kitchen line gets blocked with grease and flour residue. That is why the same method does not work at every address, and the first step is to check with a camera where the line is filling up.

## Frequently asked questions

### Why does the grate hold water after rain in Küçükçekmece?

If water stays on top of the grate without draining after the downpour has stopped, the bottom of the channel or the connected pipe may be full of mud. This is more common on low streets close to the lake.

### Does channel drain unclogging break the pavement and the ground?

In most cases we work without breaking the ground, because the high-pressure water hose and the motorised drain snake travel through the inside of the pipe. If there is a collapse or a break, the repair options are explained using the camera recording.

### What should I do first if flooding starts in the basement?

First, stop sending water into the basement drains, and do not use a chemical drain opener, because chemicals can stay in the pipe and damage the material. Then you can call 0212 923 66 85 or write to us on WhatsApp to describe the situation.
