# Şişli Sewer Camera Inspection

Sewer camera inspection in Şişli means treating each building according to its own pipework, in a district where old blocks of flats with cast iron stacks stand right beside tall office buildings with heavily used shared lines. In Kurtuluş and Feriköy most stacks are still cast iron, while in Mecidiyeköy and Bomonti the busy office building lines are the main concern.

When a building caretaker wants to know why a drain empties slowly, and whether the problem belongs to a single flat or to the shared stack, the camera settles it. A new flat owner will often ask about the line under the floor before renovating the bathroom, because a fault under new ceramic tiles can only be seen by breaking them up. The Cantley team first looks inside the line with the camera, shares the cause it finds with you, and only then unblocks the drain.

## Camera inspection of old stacks and office buildings in Şişli

In the older buildings around Nişantaşı, Kurtuluş and Feriköy, the shared stack often runs down a light well, and the flat connections have been changed to PVC drain pipe at a later date. Sediment clings most at the points where cast iron meets PVC, so before using high pressure we read the line from the footage.

In Mecidiyeköy and Bomonti, tall office buildings, residences and shopping centres carry heavy use. Grease from cafés and restaurants can build up in the shared line and affect the residential floors too, so in office buildings we work in an arrangement the building management agrees to, and in older blocks of flats we inform the neighbours and ask them not to use the stack for a short while.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can the camera damage the stack in an old building in Şişli?

No. The camera goes in through the drain or manhole opening on a flexible cable, so no wall or floor is opened up. If the stack is very dirty, a short water flush is done first so that any crack can be seen.

### Can I see the line in my newly bought flat before renovation?

Yes. Before a bathroom or kitchen renovation, the line under the floor can be inspected with the camera. The footage also shows which wall the pipe runs beneath and which manhole it connects to.

### What can be seen in a camera inspection, and how are the results explained?

A crack, a collapse, root intrusion or a displaced joint is clearly visible in the footage, and the distance of each finding from the entry point is noted. When the inspection is finished, we show you the findings one by one on the screen and answer together with you whether the problem can be solved by cleaning or whether a section needs replacing.
