Maltepe Washbasin Unclogging
One of the most common causes we meet in washbasin unclogging in Maltepe, in areas such as Küçükyalı and Altayçeşme, is a new building being joined to an old connection. Because of the level difference at the joint, a blockage can form again in the same place even after the drain has been cleared from its base. The source of the problem is often in the line behind the wall, not under the washbasin.
A washbasin in the common area of a site and one in a small workshop run into the same problem in different ways. In a workshop, paper towel fibres and liquid soap residue build up in the trap layer upon layer through the day, while in a site the blockage often starts in the shared stack. Cantley first inspects the trap, the plug mechanism and the wall line with a camera on site and tells you the cause, then clears the blockage with a motorised drain snake or high-pressure water jetting.
Maltepe's building stock and washbasin drains
In Maltepe, new buildings rise right next to old apartment blocks, so many lines have been joined onto one another. When we view the joint with a camera inspection, it becomes clear whether the problem is inside the flat or in the line in the garden, so no unnecessary digging is done.
In the mid-rise blocks north of the E-5, around İdealtepe, Cevizli and Zümrütevler, kitchen and bathroom drains connect to the same shared stack. When an overflow shows up in the flat below, the cause is often grease and sediment that has built up at a bend in the stack.
Frequently asked questions
How does washbasin unclogging work in Maltepe?
First, the plug mechanism, the trap and the wall connection of the washbasin are checked in turn on site, and the location of the blockage is found. Once the cause has been explained to you, the plug and trap are cleaned, and if that is not enough, the wall line is cleared with a motorised drain snake or pressurised water. At this stage the line is cleaned without removing tiles or the countertop.
Is a chemical drain opener enough when a washbasin blocks?
A chemical opener often takes effect without reaching the place where the hair and sticky matted residue actually sit, so even if the blockage clears in the short term, it can come back. If the product stays in the trap, there is a risk of skin and eye contact during any later work. For repeated blockages in Maltepe, looking inside the pipe with a camera is a better place to start.
Can dampness under the washbasin be related to a blockage?
Yes. When pressure builds up in the trap, the connection seals are strained, and dampness or white limescale marks may appear on the floor of the cabinet. In this case the blockage should be cleared first, then the trap and connections checked. Forcing the plug out will damage the seal, so do not try this yourself.
