If water drains slowly from your sink, you may well be wondering whether you need kitchen sink unclogging in Küçükçekmece. Water that sits in the basin after washing up and drains slowly is the most common sign that grease has narrowed the inside of the pipe. At this stage, Cantley recommends looking inside the line with a camera first, rather than opening the drain at random.

The kitchen drain is the most heavily worked part of the plumbing in a home, because the grease that comes down with the washing-up water cools in the pipe and sticks to the pipe wall. Once solid scraps such as coffee grounds, rice and eggshells are added, the blockage hardens and grows. We first check the sink trap and the dishwasher connection, then scrape the greasy line with a robotic machine and flush it with high-pressure water. When the work is done, we film the inside of the pipe again with the camera and check together with you whether any grease is left.

## Why kitchen drains block faster in Küçükçekmece

In Cennet and Sefaköy, the shared stacks of older apartment buildings have narrowed over the years with grease and sediment, so sink overflows are common in ground-floor and lower-floor flats. In the large housing complexes of Halkalı, the waste from each block travels to the manholes through long shared lines, so a single kitchen blockage can slow the flow for the whole complex.

On a main street, in a building with a shop on the ground floor, flats above and a basement, the restaurant's grease and the bakery's flour residue can build up in the same kitchen line. On low-lying streets close to the lake, heavy rain can cause backflow into the basement, so in buildings like these it is harder to see the connection between the sink and the basement, which is why the first step is to follow the line with a camera.

## Frequently asked questions

### My sink is blocked in Küçükçekmece and the water is rising in my neighbour's kitchen too. Is this a problem with just one flat?

No, most likely the shared kitchen stack is blocked, and clearing only your own trap will not solve it. The shared line needs to be inspected with a camera together with the building management.

### Is cleaning the trap under the sink enough?

Often it is not enough on its own. Cleaning the trap is the first step, and if the water runs freely afterwards, the problem may be largely solved. If the line is still greasy, the layer inside the pipe needs to be cleared separately with a drain snake and the robotic machine.

### Does pouring a chemical drain opener into the sink work?

No, we do not recommend chemical drain openers, because a chemical sitting on top of the grease can damage the pipe and harm you. Do not use boiling water either, just flush with lukewarm water from the tap.
