Şişli CCTV Drain Unclogging
A large share of the demand for CCTV drain unclogging in Şişli comes from older buildings where a cast iron shared stack has narrowed on the inside. Grease and soap residue cling to the rough surface and block the drain again and again at one point. A blockage that keeps returning in the same place often shows that the problem is inside the line.
At Cantley we do not look for the blockage by guesswork. First we send a camera into the pipe and identify the location and the cause. Because the screen shows the type of blockage, rust on the pipe wall, a crack or a displaced joint, the choice of tool and pressure is made from that image. Once the clearing is finished, we run the camera along the whole line again and you see the result together with us.
Working with a camera in Şişli's older buildings and business centres
In older apartment buildings around Nişantaşı, Kurtuluş and Feriköy, the shared stack may still be cast iron pipe, and the flat connections may have been changed to PVC later. High pressure can damage old pipes, so the camera first shows the condition of the line, and the tool head and pressure are chosen accordingly. When a building caretaker reports that the drain on the same floor overflows often, the camera shows at which point of the stack the narrowing is.
In Mecidiyeköy and Bomonti, businesses, residences and shopping centres add to the load on the lines. Grease from cafes and restaurants going into the shared line can spread as far as the residential floors, so the camera helps tell in which section the build-up starts. If the kitchen drain of a detached house with a garden is blocked by roots entering the underground line, the image spares you unnecessary digging. For site and residence management, sharing the route of the common shafts from the start makes the first step clearer.
Frequently asked questions
What does the camera do if a drain in Şişli blocks often?
The camera shows on screen the cause and the location of whatever keeps blocking the same drain. Causes such as a collapse, a protrusion or insufficient slope can be told apart in the image. So the clearing work is aimed at the point that was found, not at a guess.
What should be done if the drain snake does not advance?
If the snake stops advancing after a certain point or comes back, what is in front of it may be a hard obstruction rather than an ordinary blockage. In that case, continuing to force it can break the pipe. Seeing what the obstruction is with the camera and choosing a tool accordingly prevents unnecessary repair work.
Is there a solution without breaking up the floor if the blockage is under the bathroom floor?
Because the camera shows where in the line the blockage is, the area to be broken can be kept to a minimum. If breaking is needed, only the section where the blockage sits is opened and the rest of the floor stays as it is.
