Silivri Pipe Unclogging
The question we hear most often on pipe unclogging calls in Silivri is why a drain closes up slowly, bit by bit. The answer often lies in the type of pipe: in old metal pipes rust narrows the bore, while in plastic bends grease and hair build up. That is why we start by identifying the pipe type and its diameter.
In an apartment building with a small workshop in the basement, water can start coming back up through the basement floor drain. We first check the basement drain and the shower drain on the ground floor, then use a camera to see at which point the line is blocked. If the workshop's waste is connected to the shared stack, the problem may not be limited to the workshop, so as the Cantley team we check both lines together.
Summer-house complexes and older apartment buildings in Silivri
In coastal areas such as Selimpaşa and Gümüşyaka, summer-house complexes were not built for the summer pattern in which every home is occupied at the same time. A blockage that starts in one home during the first week of the season can spread to the shared line and reach the complex's manhole. In these complexes, clearing a single home's drain is not enough, and the shared line needs to be checked as well.
In older apartment buildings in central Silivri, which are lived in all year round, grease in kitchen lines and narrowing in the shared stack are the main issues. In inland areas such as Değirmenköy, long connections can collect mud and roots. At every address we inspect first and clear afterwards, and we explain the work we do step by step.
Frequently asked questions
How can you tell a line is blocked in Silivri?
A line may be blocked if water drains a little more slowly each day, if you hear gurgling from another drain, if you notice a smell when the drain is not in use, or if the soil in the garden stays wet. In buildings with a basement, these signs can appear together.
Can I clear the blockage myself by pouring chemicals into the pipe?
No. Especially in old cast iron and galvanised lines, a chemical drain opener does not dissolve the rust crust and can eat into thinned metal, speeding up perforation. If chemicals have been used before, telling us at the start helps us choose the right tool. Do not pour boiling water down the drain, as plastic pipes can be damaged.
What should I do if water is collecting around the manhole in my garden?
We recommend having the line viewed with a camera first, without going down into the manhole, because pooling water suggests the line further along is blocked and the pipe under the soil may be damaged. Do not open the cover and look inside yourself. The footage shows the section that is narrowed or broken, and we work only where it is needed.
