# Pendik Washbasin Unclogging

If you notice water standing at the bottom of the washbasin while you wash your hands, it is best not to put off washbasin unclogging in Pendik. First the flow slows down, then the water stops draining at all. Waiting at this stage only makes the problem bigger.

Even when the drain opening looks clean, the blockage can be in the connection inside the wall. So we first inspect the area under the washbasin, the plug mechanism and the trap one by one, and we talk through the cause with you. If the trap is clear and the water still does not run, we look inside the line with a camera. Then we clear only the blocked section with a motorised drain snake or high-pressure water jetting, without removing tiles or the countertop.

## Tracing washbasin drain problems in Pendik's older buildings

In central Pendik, the streets near the pier and the railway line have many older buildings with shops on the ground floor and flats above. When a shop's drain is connected to the residential line, the build-up first shows itself in the washbasin of the lowest flat. In an old apartment building, a family notices the washbasin emptying slowly, while the building caretaker notices a sour smell coming from the shared drain.

In the taller blocks around Kurtköy, Yenişehir and Kaynarca, water coming down the long shared stacks hits the bend at the foot of the building hard, and debris gets stuck there. Foam from washing machines and dishwashers also collects at the same point, so foam can come up through the washbasin on the ground and first floors. With a complaint like this, we also check the base of the stack and the main connection in the car park, and the site's technical staff can help us work out which stack belongs to which block.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I unclog a washbasin myself in Pendik?

Yes, if the plug and trap are accessible you can check them yourself. Removing the trap and rinsing out the residue with lukewarm tap water is often enough. Avoid chemical drain openers, as they can generate heat in the pipe and damage the seals. When you refit the trap, check that the seals are seated properly.

### Why does a washbasin keep blocking in an older building?

In older buildings, the thin pipes running from the trap into the wall can narrow from the inside over time. On such a line, the washbasin slows down again even right after it has been cleaned, because the blockage is not in the drain but inside the line. In that case, cleaning the plug alone is not enough.

### When is a camera inspection needed for a washbasin?

A camera inspection is needed if the blockage returns after the trap has been cleaned, or if the line is long. The footage clearly shows limescale and grease build-up and the point where the pipe narrows. That way we go straight to the right spot without breaking anything unnecessarily.
