Pendik Shower and Bathtub Drain Unclogging
If the water in your morning shower rises to your ankles or the bathtub will not empty, shower and bathtub drain unclogging in Pendik is no longer something to put off. In Pendik, most people first notice the problem through a smell coming from the floor drain.
If you rent, your first thought may be to call your landlord, yet the cause of the blockage is often just the hair and soap residue under your own drain strainer. If you live on the ground floor, build-up from a shop or a neighbouring flat's line can also take the same route. At Cantley, we first inspect the drain with a camera and explain the cause to you, then we move on to clearing it.
Why do bathroom drains block so often in Pendik's older buildings?
In the older buildings near the ferry pier and the train line in the centre, the ground floor is a shop and the upper floors are homes. The shop's drain is often connected to the same line as the flats, and when grease from a restaurant or a patisserie hardens inside the pipe, the line narrows. The blockage then shows up in the bathroom of the lowest flat, which is why both sides need to be inspected together.
In the tall blocks around Kurtköy, Yenişehir and Kaynarca, the problem starts somewhere else. Water coming down from the upper floors hits the bend at the foot of the building and packs debris into it, and foam from washing machines collects at the same point. That is why seeing foam in a ground-floor sink is a common situation in these buildings. Speaking to the site's technical manager to find out which block the shared stack belongs to will shorten the job.
Frequently asked questions
What should I do first when a bathroom drain blocks in Pendik?
Start by lifting out the shower drain strainer and the trap of the floor drain and checking for hair and soap that has built up on top. That may be enough. Do not try to push a stiff wire down the drain or pour in a chemical drain opener, as both can damage the pipe. Pouring boiling water onto a blockage is also dangerous, and rinsing with warm tap water is the safer option.
Should the tenant or the landlord deal with a blocked bathroom drain?
If the problem is only in your own drain strainer and trap, the job usually falls to the tenant, but if a shared line is involved, the decision is made together with the landlord. Keep in mind that if the same symptom appears in the flats above or below, the blockage may be in the building's line. It is possible to establish which case you are in through an inspection at the address.
Why does a ground-floor bathroom drain smell in Pendik?
If a sewer smell is coming from the floor drain, the water seal in the trap may have dried out or sediment may have built up inside it. The smell can also come from the shared line, so covering it with a scented product is not a lasting fix. If the smell does not go away after the trap and the line have been cleaned, the inside of the line should be inspected with a camera.
