Tuzla Kitchen Sink Unclogging

Before starting work, the Cantley team talks through the cause of the problem with you in your kitchen, then moves on to clearing the drain. The trap and connections are checked, and a camera is sent into the pipe to see where the grease has hardened. Next, a motorised drain snake opens a channel through the middle of the blockage, and robotic attachments scrape the grease layer off the pipe wall. Finally, the line is flushed with high-pressure water, and the loosened grease and sediment are carried into the shared stack.

In newly completed multi-storey residences in Tuzla, mortar and packaging scraps left in the pipes during construction can cause repeated blockages in the first few years. When these pieces combine with grease, they collect in the horizontal section of the shared stack. In older buildings close to the coast, such as in İçmeler and Aydınlı, grease build-up and a narrowed shared stack are the main issues.

In student flats and dormitories, blockages come from heavy use. In a kitchen where people cook together in the evening, everyone pouring the grease from their pan into the sink fills the line quickly. If greasy water rises in a neighbour's sink, the problem is in the shared stack and needs to be dealt with together with building management.
