Üsküdar Drain Unclogging
When it comes to drain unclogging in Üsküdar, the first place to look is often the old connection to the street, because in the district's older buildings wastewater leaves through clay or cast iron pipes. Over the years these pipes can crack or slip at the joints, and that can be the real source of the blockage.
At Cantley we start by listening: which drains are affected, when the problem began and what you have already tried. We then test the drains one by one to work out which line is blocked and, if needed, show you the location with a camera. Once we have explained the cause and you have agreed, we clear the line with a drain snake or high-pressure water jetting.
Üsküdar's old buildings and narrow streets
In older buildings in the historic neighbourhoods, the connection to the street stays in place even when the plumbing inside the flats has been renewed. This means the blockage may not be inside the flat at all, but in the old section between the building and the street. On steep, narrow streets many addresses cannot be reached by vehicle, so we keep our equipment portable.
A ground-floor flat can be the first to notice a problem, because the waste from the upper floors passes through the same shared line. When a building caretaker reports this, we first check which drains connect to the shared line. In Kandilli and Çengelköy the fall is limited, so water drains slowly, while in the newer buildings of Altunizade we find the wrong waste going into the floor line by testing the drains one by one.
Frequently asked questions
Why does a drain in an old Üsküdar building block out in the street?
In older buildings, wastewater passes through a clay or cast iron pipe that runs out to the street, so the blockage can form at this connection. Cracks and slipped joints that develop over the years can restrict the flow. We inspect the line with a camera and show you the extent of the damage.
Why does a sink drain slowly in Kandilli?
In waterfront districts like Kandilli, the fall of the line is often limited, so water moves slowly. In this slow flow, sediment clings to the pipe walls. Heavy use by businesses along the waterfront puts extra load on the shared line, so the problem can grow quickly.
What happens before the drain is cleared?
First we ask which drains are affected and what has already been tried. Then we run water through the drains one by one to identify which line is blocked and where. If this step is skipped, the wrong pipe may be cleared.
