Maltepe Shower and Bathtub Drain Unclogging
If water rises to your ankles in the shower or the bathtub just won't empty, shower and bathtub drain unclogging in Maltepe should not wait any longer. These blockages build up over time from hair and soap residue. We talk through the cause with you first, then clear the drain.
Whether it is a house, a flat in a housing complex or a shop, the bathroom drain is often connected to the same line as another drain. We go in through the strainer, the bathtub trap or the floor grate and clear out the hair and soap residue. If needed, we inspect the inside of the line with a camera and pinpoint where the blockage sits. That way we do not work on more points than necessary.
Maltepe's building stock and bathroom drains
As urban renewal continues in Maltepe, new buildings are going up next to apartment blocks that are decades old. In Küçükyalı and Altayçeşme, when the outlet pipe of a new building is attached to an old connection, a reverse slope or a crack can form at the joint. If these points are only cleared and not checked, they block again in the same place, so we follow the joint with a camera and work out which line the problem is on.
In the mid-rise blocks around İdealtepe, Cevizli and Zümrütevler, bathroom and kitchen drains are connected to a shared stack. When the bathroom drain in an elderly couple's flat slows down and the neighbour below sees an overflow, the cause is often grease and residue built up at a bend in the stack. Where there is a café or restaurant on the ground floor of a building on the main street, the grease load increases. In buildings with basements, water coming back up the drain after rain is also common.
Frequently asked questions
What should I do first if my bathroom drain blocks in Maltepe?
It may be enough to lift the strainer and remove the visible clump of hair by hand. Do not push it deeper with a stick, as the blockage can lodge more tightly inside the line. Do not pour in a chemical drain opener, as it can damage the pipe wall.
Why does the bathtub empty slowly?
The most common cause is a narrowing in the trap or at the point where the overflow pipe joins. Because a bathtub holds a lot of water, even a small narrowing makes it noticeably slower to empty.
Can a smell from the bathroom drain mean a blockage?
Yes. If a sewer smell comes from the floor drain, residue may have built up in the trap or the water seal may have dried out. The smell will not go away for good until the residue is cleaned out, and scented products only mask it.
