# Şişli Channel Drain Unclogging

Most requests for channel drain unclogging in Şişli start with the same question: the rain has stopped, so why is the water on top of the grate still not draining? It is usually a sign of sludge built up at the bottom of the channel or a narrowing in the connected pipe, but it is not possible to say for certain what the cause is without looking on site.

If the ramp at the back door of a small workshop turns into a pond in every downpour, the real loss is not the water itself but the working day that stops because of it. In a building with a garden, the smell rising from the grate reaches an elderly couple before they even open the door, and it spreads quickly around the property. In both cases we first look inside the channel with a camera and explain the cause, then we clear the bottom and the connected pipe.

## Why ramp and garden drains block differently in Şişli

In the older buildings around Nişantaşı, Kurtuluş and Feriköy, the channel running out of the garden or courtyard is often connected to an old cast iron line. If the inside of that connection has narrowed over the years, cleaning from the courtyard alone is not enough, and the building side of the line needs to be checked too. That is why, in these buildings, we try to find where the narrowing is by putting the camera in from both ends.

Around Mecidiyeköy and Bomonti, the ramps of residences and shopping centres collect the water coming down from above into a single transverse channel, and grease from the back courtyards of cafes and restaurants also ends up in it. For these businesses we plan the channel work around the time the manager prefers, so the job is finished without disrupting vehicle access or the running of the business.

## Frequently asked questions

### Why is the grate in Şişli still holding water after rain?

When water does not drain after a downpour has stopped, it usually means a layer of sludge or leaves has built up at the bottom of the channel, or that the pipe connected to it has narrowed. To clear the channel, we lift the grates, empty the bottom and flush the connected line. If the overflow keeps coming back, looking inside the pipe with a camera makes the cause clear.

### Does channel drain unclogging cover lines outside the building?

Yes, horizontal lines outside and beneath the building are covered by channel drain unclogging, including channels in gardens, ramps and car park floors. Drains inside the home, such as a sink or toilet, are a different job. We identify on site with the camera which line has the problem and look at it together with you.

### Do I need to be at home while you work in an elderly relative's flat in Şişli?

You do not have to be at home, but it helps to know in advance which lines will be out of use for a while. In older buildings, letting the neighbours know beforehand keeps the shared stack empty for a short time and lowers the risk of a new overflow during the work.
