# Üsküdar Kitchen Sink Unclogging

In the older buildings of Üsküdar's historic neighbourhoods, the section of the kitchen drain that connects to the street often runs through ageing pipe, so kitchen sink unclogging in Üsküdar starts with looking at the building's old line. Even when the plumbing inside the flat has been renewed, the blockage usually forms in this older section running under the garden or courtyard, and water standing in the sink can be the first sign of it. At Cantley, we first look inside the line with a camera, then share with you where the blockage is and how much grease has built up.

If you are a tenant, you are usually the first to notice water standing in the sink, and if the line is shared, you will need to act together with your landlord or building management. As a landlord, knowing which flat's load the drain feeding into the floor line carries helps you work out which line is under strain before greasy water rises in your neighbour's kitchen. In offices and business centres, the kitchen drain fills up through shared use, and when tea leaves and grease collect in the same line, blockages come back often. If you run into a blockage at night or at the weekend, you can reach us by phone or write to us on WhatsApp, and calls are handled 24/7.

## Kitchen drains on Üsküdar's steep streets

On Üsküdar's steep, narrow streets, vehicles cannot get close to many buildings, and some can only be reached along stepped lanes. For this reason we keep our equipment portable and start clearing the line from the trap connection inside the building.

In waterside neighbourhoods such as Kandilli and Çengelköy, buildings sit close to sea level, so the slope of the line is limited, water drains slowly and sediment builds up easily. In newer buildings around Altunizade, heavy use and the wrong kind of waste going into the floor line make the problem worse, so we test each drain separately and work out which flat is putting the line under strain. The weekend crowds at cafes and restaurants along the waterfront also add to the load on the shared line.

## Frequently asked questions

### What should I do first if water drains slowly from my sink in Üsküdar?

Do not pour boiling water into the sink at first. Try lukewarm tap water instead and check whether there is a whitish layer inside the trap. Chemical drain openers can react inside the pipe before they have fully dissolved the grease, which risks leaks and damage. If the problem continues, inspecting the line with a camera is the right next step.

### I am a tenant. Who is responsible when the kitchen drain blocks?

It depends on whether the blockage is in the connection inside the flat or in the building's shared stack. A camera inspection shows which section of the line has grease built up. Passing this information on to your landlord or building management lets you have the conversation with concrete evidence.

### How often should the kitchen drain be cleaned in offices and business centres?

There is no fixed schedule. The frequency depends on how heavily the drain is used and how long the line is. In offices and business centres with shared use, a regular cleaning plan causes fewer interruptions than calling us each time the drain blocks. After cleaning, the condition of the line is checked by camera, and the timing of the next cleaning is decided together based on what is found.
