# Sultangazi Blocked Drain Clearing

Most blocked drain clearing in Sultangazi comes from the narrow shared lines of adjoining apartment buildings that have been extended over the years. Kitchen grease and bathroom hair collect in the same bends, and work done without knowing where the blockage sits often leaves the problem in place.

At Cantley, we start by finding out with a camera exactly where the blockage has stopped, before opening the drain. We remove solid blockages with a motorised drain snake or a robotic machine, and strip grease stuck to the pipe walls with high-pressure water jetting. When the job is done, we test the drains on the same line one by one and explain the cause to you.

## Blocked drains in Sultangazi's adjoining apartment buildings

Many buildings in Sultangazi have had extra floors added since they were first built, so the shared stack and outlet line still carry the load with their original diameter. Bends and vertical pipes are therefore prone to grease and sediment, and the blockage usually shows up first on the ground floor or in the basement. We see this pattern often in Esentepe and Habipler.

Basements on the downhill side of a slope sit lower than the street line, so when there is a problem on the main line, water backs up into them. A café or restaurant on the main road leaves grease and residue in the shared line, while sawdust and mud washed down the drain of a small workshop settle in the line as sediment. That is why, before any cleaning, we use the camera to tell which business the load is coming from.

## Frequently asked questions

### What should I do if my kitchen drain slows down in Sultangazi?

First check whether only the kitchen sink is draining slowly while the bathroom runs normally. If so, the blockage is most likely in the bend of the trap. Do not pour in a chemical drain opener: the chemical left inside can mix with the blockage and heat up, which makes the work riskier for the team that comes next.

### Why does the basement flood when it rains in Sultangazi?

In buildings on the downhill side of a slope, the basement sits lower than the street line, so water can back up when the main line is blocked or during heavy rain. In that case, clearing only the basement drain is not enough: the stack and the outlet line should also be checked with a camera. The lasting fix is to fit a backflow valve on the basement outlet once the line has been cleaned.

### Why does the blockage come back after a drain has been cleared?

Often the cause is the pipe itself: a wrong gradient, a sagging pipe or a broken joint makes the blockage form at the same spot again and again. In the kitchen, not pouring grease down the sink and using a strainer reduces the build-up of residue. If we see a defect on the camera, we show you the footage and talk through what can be done together.
