# Sultangazi No-Dig Drain Unclogging

The question we hear most about no-dig drain unclogging in Sultangazi is whether a drain can be cleared without breaking tiles or walls. In most cases the answer is yes, because most blockages come from grease, hair and sediment building up inside the pipe, and the pipe itself is usually sound. At Cantley, we first look inside the pipe with a camera, and once we have found the blockage, we choose the method to suit it.

It used to be common to guess where a blocked drain was and break into the wall, but that meant a dusty renovation and often the wrong spot being opened. Today most blockages can be reached through the drain opening itself, a cleaning access cover or a manhole. Depending on the condition of the line, a robotic head, a motorised drain snake or high-pressure water jetting is used. If a real need to break out does come up, such as a crushed pipe or a reversed fall, we assess it with you by looking at the footage.

## Narrow lines and basement floors in Sultangazi

Much of the housing in Sultangazi is made up of multi-storey apartment buildings standing side by side. Many of them have been enlarged later with an extra floor or a top-floor flat, but the diameter of the shared stack and the building's outlet line has often stayed as it was when first built. Grease from the kitchen and hair and soap residue from the bathroom build up at the bends of these narrow lines. The blockage shows itself first in the ground-floor or basement flat, because when the line fills up, water comes back out of the lowest drain opening.

In buildings on the lower side of a slope, basement floors are often lower than the main line in the street. During heavy rain, or when the main line is blocked, water can back up into these basements. Bakeries, restaurants and butchers lined up along the main road add a load of grease and sediment to the shared line, and we tell the source of that load apart with the camera and plan the cleaning accordingly.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can a blocked drain in Sultangazi be cleared without breaking into the wall?

Yes, in most cases. First a camera is fed in through the drain opening itself or the nearest cleaning access cover, and the location of the blockage is seen on the screen. Then the line is cleared with a drain snake, a robotic head or pressurised water. Breaking out only comes up if something like a crushed pipe or a disturbed fall is found.

### In the flat I just moved into, the sink and shower both drain slowly at the same time. Where could the problem be?

In this case the blockage is most likely in the shared line where the drains join. There is no need to break the floor to reach it: we go in through the nearest cleaning opening and clear the joining point. Because the camera shows the exact spot where the pipe narrows, nothing is broken on a guess.

### My basement in Sultangazi is flooding. Could this be related to a blockage?

Yes. When the main line is blocked, or during heavy rain, water can back up because basement floors sit lower than the line in the street. First the line is cleared and the condition of the pipe is checked with the camera. As a lasting solution, fitting a backflow valve at the basement outlet can be considered as well.
