Sultangazi Sewer Cleaning
In four- and five-storey attached buildings the shared line stays at its original diameter, so sewer cleaning in Sultangazi should come up in most buildings before a blockage does. Grease from kitchens and hair from bathrooms build up in narrow bends and show as an overflow at the lowest drain. Dealing with a line when it starts to narrow is less of a burden than fixing the blockage after it has grown.
At Cantley we first open the manholes and inspection chambers and look at the route of the line, because cleaning done without this information only moves the deposit to another point. When needed, we use the camera to see where the root is, how thick the deposit is and how sound the pipe is, choose the head and pressure to match that footage, and explain our findings to you. Flushing proceeds section by section, grease and sludge on the pipe wall are cleared in the direction of flow, and water is then run through the line while we watch the flow at the manholes.
Why the shared line narrows in Sultangazi's attached buildings
In buildings that have had extra floors added, the shared stack and the outlet line stay at their original diameter, so the flow becomes harder over time. Bakeries, restaurants and butchers along the main road put load on the same line, so a blockage usually starts across the whole shared line. On sloping streets, soil carried by rain also adds load to the manhole grates and the line.
In a building with a basement, water from the drain shows up in the basement first, because when the main line blocks, water backs up from the lowest point. In a detached house with a garden, if the line runs under the garden, tree roots can get into the pipe, and in that case the root has to be located with the camera. For buildings on the lower side of a slope, where the basement sits lower than the main line, fitting a backflow valve on the basement outlet after cleaning can be a lasting solution.
Frequently asked questions
My basement in Sultangazi smells all the time. Is it coming from the line?
Yes, a heavy smell in the basement or around the manhole usually comes from deposit rotting inside the line. Ventilation may reduce the smell for a while, but when the line is the source, the smell comes back. The camera shows where the deposit has built up, and the cleaning is planned accordingly.
How often should a sewer line in Sultangazi be cleaned?
It depends on how the building is used, and we set the interval after the first inspection. On shared lines serving a shop or restaurant, grease builds up quickly, so the interval is shorter. In mainly residential buildings, a camera or manhole check decides it.
Why does a blockage that was cleared come back at the same spot?
Clearing a blockage often cleans only one section, and the rest of the sludge stays in the pipe. Repeated blockages at the same spot near a tree can be a sign of roots entering through the joints. That is why flushing the whole line and, if necessary, cutting the root reduces the chance of the same spot blocking again.
