Sultangazi Pipe Unclogging
The need for pipe unclogging in Sultangazi is usually noticed through a sink that drains slowly in the morning or a noise coming from a nearby floor drain. On the ground floor of a small workshop or in the basement of a new multi-storey residence, the same symptom can have completely different causes. So before we clear the blockage, we check what material the line is made of.
A thin plastic branch pipe in a workshop and the galvanised or cast iron stack of a residence are not cleared the same way. The Cantley team first looks inside the pipe with a camera and locates the blockage together with you, then clears the drain. We check the cleared line with the camera again, and if there is a crack or a crushed section, we tell you plainly.
Why blockages in Sultangazi start in the basement
In Sultangazi, many of the four- and five-storey buildings standing side by side had extra floors added later, while the shared stack stayed at its original diameter. Grease from the kitchen and hair and soap residue from the bathroom build up at the bends of these narrow lines. The blockage shows up first in ground-floor and basement flats, because the water from the upper floors comes back out of the lowest drain opening.
Basements at the bottom of a slope sit lower than the main line in the street, so in heavy rain or when the main line is blocked, water is pushed back into them. Businesses lined up along the main road, such as bakeries, restaurants and butchers, also put extra load on the shared line. We tell the source of that load apart with the camera and plan the cleaning accordingly.
Frequently asked questions
What is the first step for pipe unclogging in Sultangazi?
First we look at the problem on site and determine the pipe material and diameter. We also ask whether chemicals have been used before. Where necessary, we do not run the machine before seeing inside the pipe with a camera.
Does pouring a chemical drain opener into the sink work?
In most cases it does not, and on some lines it causes damage. It does not touch the rust scale inside the pipe, and it can eat into cast iron or thinned metal and speed up perforation. Do not pour boiling water either, as plastic fittings can be damaged.
What should I do if water collects in the basement after rain?
First stop using the drains in that basement, because if the main line is blocked, dirty water can come back up. This is common on the downhill streets of Sultangazi. Once the line has been cleared, fitting a backflow valve at the basement outlet can be a lasting solution.
