Şişli Sewer Cleaning
The need for sewer cleaning in Şişli most often shows up in the cast iron stacks of older apartment buildings around Nişantaşı and Kurtuluş, or in the shared lines of office buildings in Mecidiyeköy and Bomonti. The problem is usually not a single drain but a layer that builds up slowly inside the main line. That is why the first step is to see the condition of the line.
At Cantley, we do not start work without knowing where the line narrows. On site, we open the manhole and inspection chamber points and check the water level. If needed, we use a camera to see how thick the deposit is and where the roots are. We carry out the cleaning with high-pressure water jetting, using a nozzle suited to the condition of the pipe, and then explain the result to you.
Old apartment stacks and office building lines in Şişli
In most older apartment buildings in Nişantaşı, Kurtuluş and Feriköy, the waste stack is still made of cast iron. Once the iron rusts on the inside, grease and soap cling to the rough surface and the pipe's cross-section narrows. Where flat connections have been changed to PVC drain pipe, blockages most often start at that joint. If the washbasin in the ground-floor flat of an elderly couple in Feriköy drains slowly, it can be the first sign of this old line, so we choose the pressure according to the camera footage.
Tall office buildings, residences and shopping centres dominate in Mecidiyeköy and Bomonti. Toilets connected to the same floor line, and grease from cafés or restaurants on the ground floor, can build up in the shared line and affect the upper floors too. In a detached house with a garden, when tree roots enter the line at the joints, the blockage at the same spot keeps coming back, and the camera shows where the roots are.
Frequently asked questions
When is sewer cleaning needed in Şişli?
The line needs cleaning if the ground-floor drains run slowly, if water stands in the manhole, or if a smell rises in the basement. If a blockage you have cleared returns to the same spot within a short time, the cause is usually deposit or roots built up in the line.
Is drain unclogging the same as sewer cleaning?
No. Drain unclogging often clears a single point, while sewer cleaning flushes the main line from start to finish. The aim is to prevent the next overflow in the basement or at the floor drain grate of a shop.
How is work planned at my business in Şişli?
Work at a business is planned for a time that building management finds suitable, and the problem is inspected on site first. In older apartment buildings, neighbours are informed in advance and asked not to use the stack for a short while, so that no new overflow happens during the work.
