# Ümraniye Pipe Unclogging

Source: https://cantleyvidanjoraltyapi.com/en/umraniye-pipe-unclogging/

Requests for pipe unclogging in Ümraniye mostly come from large multi-block housing complexes and older apartment buildings whose plumbing has been renewed piece by piece over the years. When old and new pipes join in the same shared stack, it is easy for the exact section that is blocked to stay hidden. A drain cleared without finding the cause often blocks again.

At Cantley, we start at the address: we identify the pipe type and diameter, then use a camera to see the blocked section. Once we have explained the cause to you clearly, we move on to clearing the drain. In Ümraniye, grease in café and restaurant kitchens, and heavy use of shared toilet lines in offices and business centres, can disrupt the working day.

## Where blockages occur in Ümraniye, by building type

Around Atakent and Çakmak, newer development is dominated by multi-block housing complexes with covered car parks. When the drains of the blocks run through the car park ceiling and connect to a shared line, the block where the problem starts can only be identified through a planned inspection with the site's technical staff, together with camera footage. Working while keeping the car park usable also means this kind of job needs its own arrangement.

In the five and six-storey older apartment buildings of Tantavi and Yukarı Dudullu, sediment builds up where renewed plastic pipes meet old cast iron stacks, in places where the diameters do not match and the slope has been disturbed. In the workshops and small businesses of Dudullu, floor drains and staff toilets are used heavily, so drain lines can fill up faster than you would expect. If buildings renewed through urban transformation share the same garden manhole with older neighbours, we use the camera to tell which building the problem is coming from.

## Frequently asked questions

### Should a camera be used before unclogging a blocked drain in Ümraniye?

In most cases, yes: it is best to look with the camera first. Running a machine without seeing inside the pipe can damage the line, especially an old cast iron or thin galvanised one. The footage shows the location of the blockage and the pipe type together.

### What should I do in Ümraniye if water collects in a basement floor drain?

This usually points to a blockage further along the line, because water always goes to the lowest point of the building. Do not pour chemical drain opener yourself: in old metal pipes it does not dissolve rust, and it can eat into the thinned pipe wall and speed up perforation. Describe the situation by phone or on WhatsApp, and we will look at it together at the address.

### How is pipe unclogging done in old buildings with cast iron or galvanised pipes?

First the pipe type and diameter are determined, then the method is chosen. On narrow galvanised lines a flexible spiral cable is used, and on cast iron stacks a motorised drain snake running at low speed. A cutting head is only chosen if the camera shows that the pipe will withstand it, and at the end of the work the line is checked again with the camera.
