Maltepe Sewer Cleaning

The need for sewer cleaning in Maltepe gets more complicated in the neighbourhoods near the coast, where new buildings are rising next to older blocks. A blockage cleared at the point where an old line meets a new one can form again in the same place after a while.

Once the camera shows the inside of the pipe, you can see where the blockage is and whether the problem lies inside the building or on the shared line. High-pressure water jetting restores the pipe's internal diameter to what it was before it clogged. An overflow a caretaker finds in the basement and a slow-draining sink in a student flat often point to different sections of the same shared line. We inspect the cause with you at the address and explain it, and only then do we clear the drain.

Old lines and new buildings on the same street in Maltepe

In Küçükyalı and Altayçeşme, when the outlet pipe of a new building is connected to an old junction in the street, the joint can be left with a level difference, a reverse gradient or a crack. A blockage cleared at these points soon reappears in the same place. If needed, the metre at which the connection fails is marked, so the management can base its decision on digging on concrete evidence.

North of the E-5, around İdealtepe, Cevizli and Zümrütevler, mid-rise blocks are common. In these buildings the kitchen and bathroom drains connect to the shared stack, so the source of an overflow in the flat below is often grease that has built up at a bend in the stack. In buildings with a basement, water coming back up after heavy rain is also a common problem.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the basement drain back up after rain in Maltepe?

This is usually linked to a narrowing in the shared stack or at the building's outlet. First the base of the stack and the outlet are cleared, then we work out together which line the drain opening is connected to.

When is sewer cleaning needed if I run a café or a bakery?

If the grease trap fills up again soon after being emptied and the kitchen drains run with a gurgling sound, the line needs to be flushed. This layer does not go away by emptying the trap, and the grease on the pipe walls has to be scraped off with a water jet.

What can I do myself if the sink drains slowly in a student flat?

First check the other drains and the floor drain on the ground floor. If several drains slow down at the same time, the problem is most likely on the shared line. Using a chemical drain opener can be risky, because it only pushes the blockage further along.
