# Sultangazi Drain Unclogging

When it comes to drain unclogging in Sultangazi, the question we hear most is why a sink drains slowly and when that slowness turns into a blockage. If the water goes down slowly, stands in the drain, or you hear gurgling from another outlet while the washing machine empties, the pipe has started to narrow. Trying again with a plunger often is not enough at this point, because the problem lies in the pipe beyond the trap.

At Cantley we first work out which line is blocked, because a clump of hair in the trap and a blockage in the shared pipe can look the same but are fixed differently. If needed, we remove the trap and check the accessible openings. If the blockage is inside the wall, we use a camera to show you on screen where the waste stops. Then, depending on the pipe diameter and the type of blockage, we use a motorised drain snake or high-pressure water jetting, and we test the flow together with you. We always talk through what will be done first and get your approval.

## The drain line in Sultangazi's adjoining buildings

Much of Sultangazi's housing consists of adjoining four and five storey apartment buildings. Many of them were enlarged later by adding floors, but the shared stack and the outlet line stayed at their original diameter. Grease from the kitchen and hair and soap from the bathroom build up at the bends of these narrow lines, and the blockage often shows itself first in the ground floor or basement flat.

A family living in a detached house with a garden may put a slow bathroom drain down to a single trap, when the clump of hair may actually be lodged further along the shared line. A family on the ground floor of an older apartment building, seeing kitchen and bathroom water come back at the same time, will think of the building's shared line.

## Frequently asked questions

### Why does sink water drain slowly in Sultangazi?

Most often the water goes down slowly because the inner diameter of the drain has narrowed under a layer of hair, soap and grease. If other drains in the same room are also slowing down, the problem is in the shared pipe.

### Is unclogging the drain enough in a basement flat in Sultangazi?

Clearing the blockage in the basement drain may not be enough on its own, because when the main line is blocked, water can back up into the basement. You can consider cleaning the line first and then fitting a backflow valve at the basement outlet.

### When should I call for help with drain unclogging?

It is right to call if water stands in a drain, if water comes up from another drain, or if a drain that has been cleared blocks again soon after. These signs show that the problem may lie further along the shared pipe.
