Şişli Commercial Kitchen Drain Clearing
The need for commercial kitchen drain clearing in Şişli is usually noticed when you open the kitchen in the morning and find grey water standing at the bottom of the sink. In a flat you have just moved into, this can be grease left by the previous occupant slowly peeling away from the pipe. In a detached house with a garden, the problem may be building up where the kitchen drain joins the main line in the garden.
Clearing a single trap usually does not reach the real blockage, so we first look at the sink, the floor drain, the dishwasher outlet and the grease trap together. We look inside the pipe with a camera, share the cause with you, and then clear the drains. We prefer to wash the whole line with high-pressure water instead of using a snake, because a layer stuck to the pipe wall is left with only a narrow hole through it. At Cantley, this is the order we follow in homes and businesses across Şişli.
Old apartment buildings and office blocks in Şişli
In the older buildings around Nişantaşı, Kurtuluş and Feriköy, the kitchen stack is often made of cast iron. Grease and soap cling to the rusted inner surface, and the joints where it meets flat connections that have been converted to PVC are the places that block most often. Do not try to raise the pressure in these pipes yourself: we look at the condition with a camera first and set the pressure accordingly. If the stack cannot be used for a short time, we let the neighbours know in advance.
Around Mecidiyeköy and Bomonti, tall office buildings and residences stand out, with cafes and restaurants on the ground floors. Grease from a cafe or restaurant can build up in the shared line and rise as far as the kitchens on the upper floors. In an office building we plan the work for a time that suits building management, and in residences, working with the technical management office makes it easier to reach the shafts and cleaning hatches.
Frequently asked questions
How does commercial kitchen drain clearing in Şişli work?
First we inspect the kitchen's drain system on site and work out whether the blockage is in a single sink or in the shared line. Once we have explained the cause to you, we move on to clearing the drain. If you tell us on the phone which sinks have slowed down, it helps us speed up the first assessment.
What should I do if my dishwasher shows a drain error?
If water comes up through the drain next to the machine, or water is left in the tub at the end of a wash, the machine may be pumping into a blocked line. Having the drain side checked before you call a service technician often shortens the job. Do not pour in a chemical drain opener: it can generate heat and harm the pipe and you.
Greasy water is coming up from the kitchen sink of the flat I just moved into. Why does this happen in Şişli?
In older apartment buildings the kitchen stack may be separate from the bathroom stack and built with narrower pipes, and grease collecting in the bends in the basement leads to repeated blockages. If greasy water appears even though no water is being used in your flat, it is worth considering that washing-up water from the upper floors is flowing back in the stack. In that case we recommend dealing with the problem together with building management across the whole kitchen stack, not in a single flat.
