Şişli Toilet Unclogging
When the team arrives for toilet unclogging in Şişli, the first thing they do is flush once, carefully, and watch how the water behaves in the bowl. This short test lets us tell whether the blockage sits in the bend of the toilet, in the bathroom line or in the building's shared stack.
Slow draining is often the first sign, and it becomes more noticeable with every use. Water rising from the shower or dirty water appearing in the flat below shows that the blockage is in the shared line. In that case, flushing again and again only makes the problem worse.
Why blockages develop differently in Şişli's older buildings
In the older buildings around Nişantaşı, Kurtuluş and Feriköy, the shared stacks are still cast iron, so the inside rusts and grease and soap cling to the rough surface. The joints where cast iron meets PVC drain pipe are the places that block most often, which is why we look at the pipe with a camera before deciding how much pressure to use. If the toilet drains slowly in an elderly couple's flat in Feriköy, this inspection shows whether the problem is inside the flat or in the shared stack.
In Mecidiyeköy and Bomonti, office buildings, residences and shopping centres are the majority, and problems usually come from heavy use. In Bomonti, if grease from a café kitchen builds up in the shared line, the flats on the upper floors can be affected too. In buildings like these we plan the work together with the building management, and in residences we work with the technical management so that access to the inspection covers is easier.
Frequently asked questions
Should I keep flushing when the toilet is blocked?
No, flushing again and again can make the water overflow. If the water is not going down at all, the best thing is to stop flushing and call the team.
Can I use a chemical drain opener for a blockage?
No, we do not recommend chemical openers. The residue can damage porcelain and old cast iron pipe, and it can give off toxic fumes if it mixes with another product. A chemical poured in without knowing where the blockage is also makes the inspection harder.
What should I do if dirty water appears in my toilet in Şişli when I haven't used it?
First, stop using the toilet, the bathroom drain and the washing machine. This usually means that waste from the upper floors is blocked in the shared stack, so let your building management know.
