Sancaktepe Commercial Kitchen Drain Clearing

Problems that call for commercial kitchen drain clearing in Sancaktepe are common around Samandıra and Sarıgazi, in houses that have had extra storeys added later. The kitchen line in these buildings was laid for a few people, and the flats added afterwards send far more cooking water down the same narrow pipe. At Cantley we first inspect the kitchen on site and talk through the cause with you, then we move on to clearing the drain.

If the sink drains slowly in a flat you have just moved into, the first suspect is grease and solid residue in the trap. If the same symptom appears in a new residence complex, the cause is often mortar and plaster left in the pipe during construction. So we first follow the line with a camera to tell whether the blockage is in the kitchen or in the shared stack. Then we clear only the problem spot.

Why do kitchen stacks narrow faster in Sancaktepe?

In Samandıra and Sarıgazi, in houses of one or two storeys that later had floors added, the kitchen stack is a narrow pipe sized for the original use. When the waste water from the added flats passes through the same line, grease and sediment build up quickly at the weak points where the fall is poor. The connection from the garden to the street is long, so roots can also find their way in. You need to see inside the line before choosing a method, which is why the camera is the first step.

In Yenidoğan and the newly built areas, multi-block residence complexes stand out. A blockage is not expected in a new building, but construction debris can collect in the bends and show the first overflow in the ground-floor flat. When we hand the camera recording to site management, a fault from construction can be told apart from a usage problem. The first winter after handover is when complaints rise.

Frequently asked questions

Can I try to clear a kitchen blockage myself in Sancaktepe?

No. If you don't know where the blockage is, trying it yourself tends to make the problem bigger. Chemical drain openers may work on grease, but they can react inside the pipe and damage the trap. The best start is to describe the symptoms to us.

Why does a kitchen drain get blocked in a newly built building?

In a new building the most common causes are mortar, plaster and packaging pieces that got into the pipe during construction. These pieces travel with the water and collect in the bends, and they usually show the first overflow in the ground-floor flat. A camera inspection shows this debris clearly.

What are the signs of a blockage in a restaurant kitchen?

Grey water rising from the floor drain, all the sinks slowing down at the same time, and a sour grease smell at opening time in the morning are the most common signs. In this case, taking the traps apart one by one wastes time, because the problem is usually in the grease trap or the shared outlet. If the dishwasher gives a drain warning, checking the drain side first speeds up the job.
