# Pendik Balcony Drain Unclogging

The need for balcony drain unclogging in Pendik is usually noticed after a heavy downpour, when the water collecting on the balcony rises right up to the door threshold. If the water still does not drain even after the top of the strainer has been cleaned, the problem is usually in the elbow under the strainer or in the horizontal section that connects to the downpipe.

For this problem, Cantley first inspects the strainer and the drain opening, then finds the exact position of the blockage by viewing the inside of the pipe with a camera. The sludge made of leaves, soil and sand is pulled out of the elbow with a motorised drain snake, and if the blockage extends as far as the downpipe, it is flushed out with high-pressure water jetting. We work without breaking the balcony floor or the wall, and we talk through why each step is needed with you first.

## Balcony drains in Pendik's older buildings

In the older buildings in central Pendik, the downpipe often collects the water from the balconies of every floor into a single line. So when leaves and sand coming down from the roof build up inside the pipe, the effect can show up on the lowest flat's balcony or on the basement floor. In a building with a basement, the problem can sometimes appear as a damp stain on the basement ceiling.

In the tall blocks around Kurtköy, Yenişehir and Kaynarca, rain water comes down the long stacks quickly and hits the elbow at the foot of the building. For this reason, the cause of a complaint is looked for not just on the flat's own balcony, but also at the bottom of the stack and at the main connection in the car park. Speaking beforehand with the technical person responsible for the management and finding out where the cleaning cover at the building entrance is will speed up the job. In the flat of an elderly couple, working through the drain opening without breaking the floor also avoids the feeling of a long renovation going on at home.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I unclog my balcony drain myself in Pendik?

You can clear the leaves and soil from the top of the strainer by hand, but the blockage is often in the elbow under the strainer, so cleaning the surface is rarely a lasting fix. Chemical drain openers often do not dissolve hardened sludge and carry a risk of contact with your skin or eyes. You can pour warm tap water into the drain to check how quickly the water runs away.

### Is the balcony floor broken when a balcony drain is unclogged?

No, the blockage is usually cleared by reaching it through the drain opening, without breaking the balcony floor. If the drain has been closed off or is hidden under the flooring, the first step is to find out with a camera where the connection leads. This step makes it possible to work only at the point that is needed, without unnecessary demolition.

### Can a damp stain on the ceiling of the flat below come from the balcony drain?

It can. If water collecting on the balcony gets past the waterproofing and seeps down, you will see a stain, bubbling paint or dripping on the ceiling. Because painting and waterproofing repairs done before the drain is cleared do not last, we first check whether the drain is open. In Pendik buildings that have a basement, the source of the leak also needs to be sorted out in this order.
