Sultangazi Commercial Kitchen Drain Clearing
The need for commercial kitchen drain clearing in Sultangazi often shows up one morning, when you notice the sink water draining more slowly than usual. After a while the greasy water can come back up through the ground-floor drain, or it lingers in the kitchen as a sour smell. Spotting the problem at this stage makes it easier to tell whether the blockage is inside the kitchen or on the shared line.
If you are a tenant, or if a shared stack is involved, working together with your landlord or the site management makes things easier. First we inspect the kitchen's drainage system at the address, look inside the pipe with a camera and explain the cause to you. Then we clean the floor drains, the grease trap and the main line so that the kitchen drains properly again.
Kitchen drains in Sultangazi's adjoining apartment blocks
The district's building stock is full of four- or five-storey blocks built wall to wall, and many have been enlarged with an extra floor or attic storey added later. The added flats bring new kitchens, while the shared stack often stays at the diameter it was first built with. Grease from the kitchens collects at the bends of these narrow lines, and the blockage shows up most often in the ground-floor or basement flat, because the water from the upper floors comes back out of the lowest drain.
In buildings on the lower side of a slope, the basements sit lower than the main line in the street, so when that line blocks, water can back up into them. If the basement is used as a home, workshop or storeroom, the damage is greater, so tenant and landlord should deal with it together. Once the line has been cleaned, fitting a backflow valve on the basement outlet is one of the lasting solutions in these buildings.
Frequently asked questions
Can I clear a kitchen blockage in Sultangazi myself?
Emptying the basket of the floor drain is the first step you can take yourself. If the grease has escaped into the main line, opening the trap often does not solve the problem, it only pushes the sediment further down the pipe. Pouring in a chemical drain opener can also react with the grease and heat the pipe, and because it creates a splash risk, it is safer to call us as soon as you notice the blockage.
Why does my basement flat in Sultangazi fill with kitchen water?
When the main line blocks, basements are the first place to take the water, because they sit lower than the line in the street. The backflow becomes more noticeable during heavy rain or when there is a blockage on the shared line. Cleaning the line first and then fitting a backflow valve on the basement outlet is the way to reduce the chance of it happening again.
I'm a tenant. Do I have to wait for management to deal with a blockage in my kitchen?
You do not have to wait, and you can report the problem in your kitchen to us directly. If the problem is in the shared stack, working together with management makes things easier. If greasy water comes out of the sink of a lower-floor flat when nobody is using it, that is a problem of the whole kitchen stack, not of that one flat.
