# Sancaktepe Balcony Drain Unclogging

If you have noticed water collecting on your balcony floor while it rains and still not draining once the rain has stopped, balcony drain unclogging in Sancaktepe is not something to put off any longer. Leaves and soil that fall onto the strainer combine with the sediment carried in by plant pot water and turn into a plug that dries and hardens inside the pipe. At Cantley, we first inspect the problem on site and explain the cause to you, then we clear the drain.

If you are a tenant, you may not know whether the balcony drain belongs to the building or to the flat, so having work done without telling the landlord can make the problem bigger. If you are the owner and you see a damp stain on the ceiling of the flat below, the source of the leak can often be the balcony drain. In site management settings, the downpipe affects several floors, so the work is planned in advance by talking to residents and management. In all of these cases, the first step is to see on site where the blockage is.

## Why balcony drains block differently in Sancaktepe

In Samandıra and Sarıgazi, it is common to find houses that were built with one or two storeys and had extra floors added later. In these houses, the line the balcony drain connects to was laid for the original use, so when the added flats increase the load, sediment builds up quickly in the sections with little fall. That is why the first job is to find out with a camera whether the narrowing is in the strainer, the elbow or the downpipe.

In Yenidoğan and in the newly built multi-block sites, blockages often come from pieces of material left in the drain during construction. The first winter after handover is when these complaints are seen most. The footage recorded by the camera is passed to site management, so that a problem caused by construction can be told apart from a user-related one. The line is then flushed with high-pressure water and the flow is checked together with you.

## Frequently asked questions

### How can I tell that my balcony drain is blocked in Sancaktepe?

If water stays on the balcony for a long time after rain, or rises up to the threshold and seeps indoors, the drain may be blocked. Cleaning the top of the strainer helps for a short time, but the real build-up is often inside the elbow.

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

In most cases we work without breaking the floor, because a motorised drain snake can reach the whole pipe from the drain opening. If there is a drain that has been sealed off, we first use a camera to find out where it connects to. At this stage, the drain opening and the cracks around it are also checked.

### What should building management know when a balcony drain is to be unclogged in an apartment block in Sancaktepe?

When a blockage affects the balconies on several floors, the condition of the downpipe is planned in advance together with management. The camera footage shows clearly whether the problem comes from the building's structure or from the use of a single flat.
