# Pendik Blocked Drain Clearing

The first step in blocked drain clearing in Pendik is finding which part of the plumbing the blockage is sitting in. In older buildings with a shop on the ground floor and flats above, the problem is often not where it shows up but on a different line.

The same symptom can come from four different places, so you need to locate the blockage before clearing it. The trap, the connection pipe, the vertical shared stack and the building's outlet pipe each need a different access point and a different machine. Work on the wrong section leaves the blockage where it is, so we first inspect the cause at the address and explain it to you, then clear the drain.

## Why drains in Pendik's older buildings end up on the same line

In the streets near the ferry pier and the railway line in Pendik, older buildings with a shop on the ground floor and flats above are common. In these buildings, the shop's waste often mixes into the residential line, and grease from the kitchen hardens in the colder sections of the pipe and narrows its diameter. The symptom often appears far from the shop, in the bathroom of the lowest flat. In a building with a basement, the bathroom drain may give the first sign, while in a shop on the main road it may be the shop's own drain. That is why we inspect the shop and residential connections one by one with a camera and establish where the load is coming from.

In the high-rise blocks around Kurtköy, Yenişehir and Kaynarca, the problem builds up at the foot of the shared stack. Water coming down from above hits the elbow at the base of the building hard and packs down the residue that has collected there. Detergent foam from washing machines also gathers at the same elbow. This is why foam in the sinks on the ground and first floors is a common sight in these buildings. When we get a complaint like this, we look at the foot of the stack and the main connection in the car park as well as the flat's own drain.

## Frequently asked questions

### What should I do first when a drain is blocked in Pendik?

First note which drain has slowed down and where the water is rising from. If your neighbours have a similar complaint, it points to the blockage being in the shared stack.

### Can a shop's drain cause a flat's drain to block?

Yes. Grease and food residue from a shop can build up in the common line used by the flats and cause problems in the lowest flat. For this reason, it is necessary to check the shop connection as well as the drain of the flat that is blocked.

### How can you tell a shared stack blockage from a trap blockage?

A trap blockage shows up in a single drain only, usually the kitchen or a sink. If the shower or toilet backs up with dirty water while no other drain is in use, the problem is in the shared stack. We make the final distinction with a camera at the address.
