Şişli Shower and Bathtub Drain Unclogging
Shower and bathtub drain unclogging in Şişli is usually needed when you notice the water is not draining under the shower. Sometimes the bathtub does not empty, or a bad smell comes from the floor drain. These signs show that hair and soap residue is building up inside the pipe.
When water rises under the morning shower in an elderly couple's flat, the sign is often ignored for a while. On an office floor in a business block in Şişli, the same sign appears on the shared line that several toilets connect to. We first check the strainer and trap on site and talk through the cause with you. If the blockage is further along, we film the line with a camera. Then we clear the drain without touching the tiles.
Bathroom drains in Şişli's older buildings and business centres
In most of the older apartment buildings in Nişantaşı, Kurtuluş and Feriköy, the shared stack is still cast iron. Cast iron that rusts from the inside becomes rough, and hair and soap cling to these surfaces and narrow the line. Joints converted to PVC drain pipe during flat renovations are another common blockage point. Because high pressure is risky on these pipes, we first check their condition with a camera and choose the pressure accordingly. In older buildings we ask neighbours not to use the shared stack for a short while.
Mecidiyeköy and Bomonti are dominated by tall office buildings, residences and shopping centres. Here the problem often comes from heavy use: many toilets connected to the same floor line, staff kitchens and grease from ground-floor food and drink businesses all build up in the shared line. In office buildings we schedule the work for a time set by building management. In residences, working together with the technical management to reach the shafts and cleaning hatches makes the job easier.
Frequently asked questions
What should I do first when a bathroom drain is blocked in Şişli?
First, carefully lift out the shower strainer and pull out any visible clump of hair by hand. Do not pour in a chemical drain opener, because in old cast iron pipes the residue can weaken the pipe and there is a risk of splashing. If the water still does not drain, call us without using boiling water.
Are tiles broken when a bathroom drain is unclogged?
No. The work is done through the strainer, trap and drain opening, so no tiles are broken. If the shared line is blocked, a motorised drain snake or a robotic head travels through the inside of the pipe and does not touch the surfaces.
What does it mean if the shower and toilet cause problems together?
It means the blockage is not in the shower strainer but in the bathroom's shared line. If water or air bubbles come up through the shower drain when you flush the toilet, the junction may have narrowed. In this case the line is inspected by camera and then cleared.
