# Drain and Sewer Services in Sarıyer

Source: https://cantleyvidanjoraltyapi.com/en/sariyer-drain-services/

When you need drain unclogging in Sarıyer, Cantley comes 24/7 to old houses on the Bosphorus shore, villas in the forest and the towers of Maslak, and clears the blocked line without breaking tiles or walls. We always start with the camera: once we can see inside the pipe and have found the point holding the water, we work only on that section with a motorised drain snake or high-pressure water jetting. We do not touch marble, wood or ceramic finishes. When the job is done, we run every tap and toilet in the home one by one, watch with you as the water flows freely, and explain clearly what caused the blockage.

Sarıyer is one of the districts of Istanbul with the widest mix of building types. On one side there are old mansions facing the Bosphorus and apartment blocks right on the coastal road, on another there are villas spread through the forest, and then there are the office towers of Maslak. Each of these was built with a different plumbing logic and blocks for different reasons. That is why, on the phone, we like to ask what type of property it is, whether the drains connect to the garden or straight to the street, and how long the problem has been going on.

## Plumbing in coastal old houses, forest villas and towers

In Bosphorus-side neighbourhoods such as Tarabya and İstinye, some buildings sit very close to sea level and others lean against the hillside. In buildings near the shore, the fall of the waste line is often limited: water moves slowly, sediment settles easily, and when the main line running under the coastal road gets busy, wastewater can come back up into basement floors. In older houses on the slope, the pipes have passed through the hands of different tradespeople over the years, and cast iron, PVC drain pipe and clay sections have been joined together. Working on these mixed lines without a camera is guesswork, so we inspect first and unclog afterwards.

In Zekeriyaköy and Kilyos, detached houses with gardens and villas dominate. In these homes the drain line runs a long way through the garden and is entangled with trees. Roots enter the pipe at the joints and block it over time. Terrace and balcony drains also fill with pine needles, leaves and sand, and overflow in the autumn rains. In the office towers of Maslak, the problem comes from heavy use: the floor lines that serve many toilets, and staff kitchens, need regular maintenance. In office towers we do the work at a time the building management finds suitable, without disturbing the people working there. In Kilyos homes used as summer houses, traps that see no water for a long time in winter dry out, and this is often the source of the bad smell in the house.

## What we do at Sarıyer's coastal, forest and business addresses

In Sarıyer, the address often decides which job we will meet. These are the five types of work we go to most often.

### Balcony Drain Unclogging (https://cantleyvidanjoraltyapi.com/en/balcony-drain-unclogging/)

When the terrace and balcony drains of villas in Zekeriyaköy fill with pine needles and leaves, rainwater can overflow into the house. We clear the strainer and the connected pipe, and flush out the soil and sand that collect at the bend at the bottom of the drop with pressurised water.

### Sewer Line Unclogging (https://cantleyvidanjoraltyapi.com/en/sewer-line-unclogging/)

In houses with gardens, we clear the tree roots that have entered the long garden line with the cutting heads of the motorised drain snake. We show you the joint where the root got in on camera and explain what can be done at that point so the problem does not come back. After cutting the roots, we flush the line and take out the remaining pieces as well.

### Toilet Unclogging (https://cantleyvidanjoraltyapi.com/en/toilet-unclogging/)

In Maslak, when several toilets on an office floor overflow at the same time, it shows that the floor line is blocked. We clear the line outside working hours, then run each toilet separately and check with the building management that the flow has returned to normal.

### Backflow Valve Installation (https://cantleyvidanjoraltyapi.com/en/backflow-valve-installation/)

If wastewater comes back into basement floors near the coastal road on the Bosphorus on rainy days, we clean the line and then fit a backflow valve at a suitable point. We place the valve where it can be opened easily for maintenance. We also show you how to check the valve once it is fitted.

### Sewer Camera Inspection (https://cantleyvidanjoraltyapi.com/en/sewer-camera-inspection/)

In old houses on the slope, we follow the cast iron, clay and PVC sections added in different periods with the camera and determine which part is cracked and which part has collapsed. The footage also guides homeowners who are planning a renovation.

## Frequently asked questions

### The garden line of our villa in Sarıyer keeps blocking. What could be the cause?

The most common cause of frequent blockages in a garden line is tree roots. Roots enter through small gaps at the pipe joints and form a mesh over time. We clear the roots with the cutting head of the snake, but for a lasting fix the point where the root enters needs to be found with the camera. Unless that section is repaired, the root can grow back after a while, and we tell you this plainly.

### Wastewater comes into the basement of our Bosphorus-side house when it rains. What should we do?

The lasting solution is a backflow valve, but the valve only works once the building's outlet line has been cleaned. In buildings near the shore the fall of the line is weak, so in heavy rain the main line fills and water returns to the lowest point. A backflow valve stops this return. We also confirm with the camera which line the basement drain points are connected to, so the valve is fitted in the right place.

### Do you have to work during office hours at our office in Maslak?

No, we can plan the work for a time that suits the building management and you. If there is an urgent overflow, we come straight away. For non-urgent maintenance and line cleaning, evening or weekend hours are more suitable. In office towers the work runs more smoothly when entry permits and car park rules are discussed beforehand. We note the necessary details during the call. When the work is finished, we can also send you a short report.

### Will you cause damage when unclogging the drain of an old mansion in Sarıyer?

No, we work with particular care in old buildings. We first see the pipe's material and condition with the camera, and on worn cast iron or clay pipes we use lower pressure and softer heads. We work through the existing drain points without touching marble or wooden finishes. If we see a break in the pipe, we show you the footage before continuing with the unclogging.
