Sarıyer Toilet Unclogging
When it comes to toilet unclogging in Sarıyer, the question we hear most is whether to flush again or to find the cause first. Flushing repeatedly while the water in the bowl is rising leads to overflow. A plunger is often not enough once the blockage has moved past the bend.
At Cantley we come to homes, apartment buildings and workplaces in Sarıyer. On site we first look at where the problem stops and explain the cause to you, then we start work. A blockage in the bend is cleared with a protected snake that does not scratch the porcelain, while a build-up in the building's shared stack is cleared with a motorised drain snake and high-pressure water jetting. When needed, the inside of the pipe is inspected with a camera and the footage is shown to you.
Blockages in basement-level buildings and student flats in Sarıyer
In waterfront buildings around Tarabya and İstinye, the fall of the waste water line is limited, sediment builds up and under heavy use the water can back up into the basement. In older houses on the slopes, cast iron and clay pipes added in different periods make it hard to guess where the blockage sits. If the water in the toilet of a family living on the basement floor rises and overflows from the floor drain, the line is first inspected with a camera and then the clearing method is chosen.
In student flats and dormitory-type accommodation in Sarıyer, the toilet is used by many people. Wet wipes, cotton pads and sanitary pads collect in the bend of the bowl and make the blockage a little bigger with every use. If the blockage keeps coming back in these places, we look for the cause in usage habits and in the slope of the shared stack together.
Frequently asked questions
Can I unclog a toilet myself in Sarıyer?
You can try in part: flush a few times with lukewarm tap water and check the bend of the bowl with a suitable snake. Do not use a chemical drain opener, as it can damage the porcelain and carries a risk of splashing. If water rises from the shower drain or dirty water appears in the flat below, the blockage is further along than the toilet and a camera and a snake are needed.
Is the toilet removed when it is unclogged?
No, we work without removing the toilet from its place. The snake enters the bend through the mouth of the bowl and, with its sheathed tip that does not scratch the porcelain, breaks up the blockage or winds it up and pulls it out. Do not remove the toilet yourself, because if the connector slips, water can leak onto the floor.
What should I do if dirty water is coming up from the flat below?
In this case the problem is most likely not in a single flat but in the building's shared stack. First tell the building management; clearing the stack through its cleaning hatch or through the basement manhole is decided together with the management. To prevent backflow after clearing, fitting a backflow valve can also be discussed.
