# Pendik Kitchen Sink Unclogging

When we arrive for kitchen sink unclogging in Pendik, the first thing our team does is open the sink trap and look at the greasy sludge inside. This check tells us whether the blockage is only in the trap or has spread along the pipe.

We do not start clearing the drain before talking to you about the cause, because the source of standing water in the sink is sometimes outside the kitchen. If the line is greasy, we open a path through the blockage with a motorised drain snake, scrape the grease off the pipe wall with a robotic machine and carry the residue into the main line with high-pressure water jetting. When the job is done, we look inside the pipe with a camera and see with you whether any grease is left.

## When a shop and flats share the same drain in Pendik

In older buildings in central Pendik, the shop on the ground floor and the flats above can be connected to the same vertical pipe. Grease from the drain of a fish seller or restaurant owner on the main street sets in the cold part of the pipe, and the first sign shows up in the bathroom of the lowest flat. In these buildings we inspect the shop and flat connections separately with the camera and clean the line so that both sides are covered.

In the high-rise blocks around Kurtköy, Yenişehir and Kaynarca, the cause is somewhere else. Water coming down from the upper floors gets squeezed at the bend at the base of the building, and since the detergent foam from washing machines and dishwashers also collects there, foam appears in the sinks on the ground and first floors. In this case we check the foot of the shared stack and the main connection in the car park, and working with the site's technical staff makes it easier to find the right stack.

## Frequently asked questions

### What should I do at home when my kitchen sink drain is blocked in Pendik?

Instead of pouring boiling water into the sink, run lukewarm tap water and watch how it drains. Do not use a chemical drain opener, because it can heat up inside the pipe, damage it and make it harder to find the cause of the blockage. Instead of forcing the trap, note down when the blockage started.

### Why does water rise in the sink when the dishwasher empties?

The machine and the sink may drain into the same blocked drain line, and the problem is often outside the machine. Before looking for a fault in the machine, the shared line needs to be cleared. At this stage, checking the machine can be misleading.

### What should be done if greasy water appears in the sink of a flat in a Pendik apartment building?

If greasy water is coming up in your own sink and water is also rising in your neighbour's kitchen, the problem is in the shared kitchen stack. In this case, opening only your own trap will not solve it. Together with building management, the foot of the stack and the inspection point at the building entrance should be checked. The work is shorter when the site's technical staff know which stack belongs to which block.
