Maltepe Drain Unclogging
The need for drain unclogging in Maltepe often comes up in neighbourhoods such as Küçükyalı and Altayçeşme, where new buildings go up next to old ones. A new outlet pipe connected to an old street line can leave a level difference or a reverse slope at the joint, and this is often where a blockage keeps coming back.
First we work out which line is blocked, because a clump of hair in a single trap and a build-up in the shared stack give similar symptoms. If needed, we show you on camera exactly where the blockage stops. Then we clear the line with a motorised drain snake or high-pressure water jetting without harming the pipe, and we test the flow with plenty of water.
Old and new buildings side by side in Maltepe
In Maltepe, where urban renewal continues, new buildings are rising right next to old apartment blocks. At joints like these, a crack or a leftover level difference makes the blockage return in the same spot. With a camera inspection we view the joint and work out whether the problem is inside the building or in the garden line. If needed, we mark the damaged point so that management does not have to dig unnecessarily.
North of the E-5, mid-rise blocks are common around İdealtepe, Cevizli and Zümrütevler. Because kitchen and bathroom drains in these buildings connect to the shared stack, an overflow in the flat below often comes from grease build-up at a bend. In an office or business building in Maltepe, the grease load from ground-floor businesses tends to fill the line more often. If you are the building caretaker, we work through it together and note which flat is connected to which branch.
Frequently asked questions
Can I describe the problem by phone before drain unclogging in Maltepe?
Yes. If you send a photo of the sink, shower or kitchen drain on WhatsApp, we can talk before we come. We would also like to know which drains are affected and what you have already tried.
Why does the blockage come back after the drain has been cleared?
Often only part of the blockage has been cleared and a layer of grease or limescale is left on the pipe wall. This layer catches new waste and brings the blockage back quickly.
Can I use a chemical drain opener?
We do not recommend chemical openers, because the reaction inside the pipe can cause splashing and damage old or plastic lines. A product poured in without knowing where the blockage is also tends to affect only the top layer and leaves the actual blockage in place.
