Drain and Sewer Services in Sancaktepe
If a drain is blocked in your home or housing complex, the Cantley team comes to your address in Sancaktepe 24/7 and solves the problem without breaking tiles or walls. We work through the floor drain in your bathroom, the trap under the kitchen counter or the manhole in the garden. First we see the blocked section on camera, then we clear that section with a motorised drain snake or high-pressure water jetting. Your tiles, parquet and walls stay as they are. Once the water runs freely again, we test the line from several drain points to make sure the job is complete.
Sancaktepe is a relatively young district, and its building stock reflects that. Site blocks built in recent years and detached houses that have grown floor by floor over time can stand side by side in the same neighbourhood. In the first, the problem usually comes from material that got into the pipe during construction. In the second, it comes from old pipe that cannot carry the load of the floors added later. When you call, we ask about the age of the building and how many times floors were added so we can tell these two cases apart. With that information, the crew sets out with the right head and machine.
Houses that grew floor by floor and new site blocks on the same street
Around Samandıra and Sarıgazi there are many houses that were first built with one or two floors and later had more floors added on top. The original plumbing in these houses was laid for the use of a few people. When two or three more flats are added, the same narrow pipe has to carry far more wastewater, and where the fall is insufficient, sediment builds up quickly. The connection running from the garden to the street is often long too, and tree roots can get into it. In these houses we follow the line on camera from start to finish, find where the narrowing, the roots or a collapsed section is, and choose the clearing method accordingly.
In Yenidoğan and the newly built-up parts of the district, multi-block housing complexes dominate. You do not expect blockages in a new building, but in the first years the most common cause we meet is mortar, plaster and packaging pieces that got into the pipe during construction. They travel with the water and collect at the bends, and the first overflow is usually seen in the ground-floor flat. A camera inspection shows this kind of debris clearly. Passing the footage to site management makes it easier for them to tell a construction-related problem from user error. Then we flush the line with pressurised water and check the clear flow together. The first winter after handover is when heavy use begins, so these complaints mostly rise in those months.
Mortar from the new complex, narrow pipe from the old house
In Sancaktepe we might work in the car park of a new complex one day and in the garden of an old house the next. These are the jobs we do most often.
Sewer Camera Inspection
If a newly handed-over complex has repeated overflows, we inspect the line with a camera and record where the mortar and construction debris have collected. This recording gives site management something concrete in hand when they discuss the problem with the contractor.
Sewer Line Renewal
In houses with added floors, if the old pipe has collapsed or narrowed too much to carry the load, clearing it will not be a lasting solution. We show you the damaged section seen on camera and assess together which part of the line needs to be renewed.
Drain Unclogging
In houses in Samandıra and Sarıgazi, roots and sediment can build up in the long connection from the garden to the street. We cut the roots with a motorised drain snake, then flush the line and confirm that water flows freely all the way to the street connection. If roots keep coming back, we also inspect the condition of that section of the line on camera.
Shower and Bathtub Drain Unclogging
A slow-draining shower tray or floor drain is a complaint we often come across in flats in Sancaktepe. We clear hair and soap buildup without removing the strainer and, if needed, work as far as the point where the bathroom line joins the shared stack. A simple hair catcher fitted under the drain cover is also among our recommendations.
PVC Drain Pipe Unclogging
In new buildings, we break up the plaster and mortar pieces that collect at the bends of PVC drain pipes using snake heads, then carry them out with pressurised water. To avoid damaging the pipe, we choose the head and pressure according to the pipe diameter.

Frequently asked questions
Why did the drain in our newly handed-over flat in Sancaktepe get blocked?
In new buildings the most common cause is mortar, plaster or packaging pieces that got into the pipe during construction. These materials settle at the bends during the first uses and block the water. We see the debris with a camera inspection and clear it. The footage is also useful for showing management that the problem comes from the construction stage, not from your use.
Why does the blockage keep coming back in our old house that had floors added?
Because the pipe laid originally does not have the diameter and fall to carry the wastewater of the flats added later. When water flows slowly, sediment builds up and the pipe blocks again at short intervals. After clearing, we send the camera back into the line and look at where the fall has been lost. If the narrowing keeps causing trouble, we tell you plainly which section needs to be renewed.
The manhole in our garden in Sancaktepe has overflowed. Can we clear it ourselves?
We do not recommend that you go into the manhole, because toxic gas can build up inside and this is life-threatening. Lifting the cover and looking from above is safe, but trying to clear the outlet pipe with a stick or a hose can pack the blockage in even tighter. When the crew arrives, we clear the outlet line with a drain snake and check the connection coming from the house. While you wait, use less water in the house. It is also important to keep the overflowing water away from children and pets.
Will the parquet be damaged when the blockage is cleared in our flat in Sancaktepe?
No. The work is done through the existing drain openings, so the parquet and tiles stay in place. We take the machine into the pipe through the drain strainer, the trap or the cleaning access cover. We protect the area around the work with a sheet and keep our equipment away from the wet floor. When the job is finished, we leave the area clean and test the line in front of you. We also clean up any water that splashes onto the floor ourselves.
