Sarıyer Sewer Line Unclogging
The need for sewer line unclogging in Sarıyer often starts not in a single flat but in the building's shared main line. Along the Bosphorus the lines have very little fall, and in older buildings on the hillsides the pipes have been joined together from different periods. That is why the first job is to find where the blockage is.
At Cantley we first look inside the line with a camera, narrow down the location of the blockage and share the cause with you. We then clear the line with a motorised drain snake or high-pressure water jetting, and we make sure the management representative can watch the footage too. Responsibility between tenant and landlord also becomes clear once you can see where the line is blocked.
The main line in Sarıyer's coastal, hillside and garden properties
In seafront buildings in areas such as Tarabya and İstinye, wastewater can flow back into the basement when the line under the coastal road is under load. In older hillside houses, the exact position of a blockage is hard to tell without a camera where cast iron and PVC drain pipe sections meet.
In garden houses in Zekeriyaköy and Kilyos, roots grow into the pipe, while in the office towers of Maslak the floor lines block from heavy use. A tenant living on a basement floor in Tarabya should tell the landlord and management straight away if wastewater rises from a trap. In places like these, we use the camera first to tell roots, a grease mass or a collapse apart.
Frequently asked questions
If the basement toilet smells in Sarıyer, do I need sewer line unclogging?
Yes. If the smell in the basement is constant and wastewater comes back up through the ground-floor toilet whenever water is used on the upper floors, the main line may be blocked. Pouring in a chemical drain opener can damage the pipe and make the smell worse, so do not act before the line has been seen. Asking your neighbours whether the slowdown affects more than one flat makes the first step clearer.
Is the blockage in the building's line or in the street network?
You can tell by checking the last manhole. If the manhole is empty and the chamber in the street is full, the problem is in the network and should be reported to İSKİ. If the last manhole is full, the blockage is in the building's line and the unclogging work is on your side.
I am a tenant. Who should I tell when the main line blocks?
Tell the building management or your landlord first, describing the symptom in your flat in concrete terms. The main line serves the building's residents, but unclogging and repairing it is the management's responsibility, so do not try to work on the line yourself.
