# Sancaktepe Drain Unclogging

The question we hear most about drain unclogging in Sancaktepe is why a sink empties slowly and whether it will fix itself. Standing water often shows that a layer of grease and hair has thickened inside the pipe. When we follow the line with a camera, we look together with you at the screen to see exactly where that layer sits.

At Cantley, we start in Sancaktepe by listening to the situation at your address: which drains are affected, when the problem began and what has already been tried. Then we use a water test to tell whether the blockage comes from a shared pipe or from a single trap. We clear the line with a motorised drain snake or high-pressure water jetting, then check the flow in all the drains together.

## Drain problems in Sancaktepe's older homes and new housing complexes

Most older buildings in Samandıra and Sarıgazi are one or two storeys that were later extended with extra floors. The narrow pipe was laid for a few people, so as the flats multiply the line cannot carry the waste, and where the fall is poor, sediment settles. In these homes the line needs to be followed by camera from start to finish to find the narrowing, the roots or the collapsed section. Roots can also get into the long connection running from the garden to the street.

In Yenidoğan and the newly built areas, multi-block housing complexes dominate. A new building is not expected to block, but in the first years mortar and plaster fragments that entered the pipes during construction collect at the bends, and the first overflow usually appears in the ground-floor flat. The building attendant is the first to hear the complaint, while the tenant and the landlord want to know whether the problem comes from the construction or from use. Footage taken inside the line shows the debris, and when it is passed to site management it separates a construction fault from user error.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can we talk through the problem before you come to my home in Sancaktepe?

Yes, if you write to us on WhatsApp with a photo, we can assess the problem together before we come. It is enough to tell us which drains are affected, when the problem began and what has already been tried.

### Can I clear the drain myself with a chemical opener?

Although it is possible, we do not recommend using a chemical opener, because it can react inside the pipe and cause splashing and pipe damage. If the blockage is beyond the trap, the product will not dissolve it fully. At home, just watch the flow with lukewarm tap water. Do not take the toilet apart yourself.

### What should I do if the drain blocks again after a short time?

If the same drain blocks again after a short time, only part of the blockage was cleared. The layer left on the pipe wall catches new waste. In this case it is better to look at the line with a camera and clean the pipe wall with pressurised water.
