# Şişli Balcony Drain Unclogging

Requests for balcony drain unclogging in Şişli usually come on a rainy day, when water pools on the balcony floor. The cause is often sludge that has built up under the strainer, in the elbow of the narrow pipe. Knowing the cause is the first step towards a fix that does not involve breaking anything unnecessarily.

At Cantley, whether water has collected on the balcony above a shop on a main street or a café's terrace drain has blocked, we first look at the situation on site, where you are. We look inside the pipe with a camera to find where the blockage is, and we talk through with you which method suits. Only then do we move on to clearing the drain.

## Balcony drains in Şişli's older apartment buildings and office buildings

In older apartment buildings around Nişantaşı, Kurtuluş and Feriköy, the balcony drain often joins the cast iron shared stack through a PVC drain pipe added later. This joint is where deposits cling most. In flats where the balcony has been glazed or the floor has been covered over, the drain may have ended up sealed off.

Around Mecidiyeköy and Bomonti, business centres, residences and food and drink venues put heavy use on the pipework. Grease from a café or restaurant on a main street can build up in the shared line and affect drains on the floors above as well. In these buildings we plan the work in advance with the building management or the technical office.

## Frequently asked questions

### How can I tell if my balcony drain is blocked in Şişli?

If water keeps standing on the balcony floor after the rain has stopped, the drain is most likely blocked. Water seeping in under the door or a damp stain on the ceiling of the flat below can be signs of the same problem. If a sewer smell comes from the drain, the trap may have dried out or become blocked.

### Can I unclog the balcony drain myself?

Lifting the strainer grate and picking out leaves and sludge by hand is safe. We do not recommend reaching into the elbow or the inner pipes yourself, because chemical drain openers can react with a hard blockage, weaken the pipe and splash into your eyes. Before high-pressure water jetting is used on old pipes, the position of the blockage needs to be seen with a camera.

### When should I call for balcony drain unclogging in Şişli?

It is best to call as soon as water starts to collect on the balcony. If the leak reaches the ceiling of the flat below, repairs to paint and insulation will not last, so the drain needs to be cleared first. In Şişli, work in office buildings is planned for a time the building management finds suitable, and in older apartment buildings the neighbours are informed beforehand.
