# Zeytinburnu Balcony Drain Unclogging

Balcony drain unclogging in Zeytinburnu comes up for different reasons in an area where adjoining apartment blocks stand next to renovated newer buildings. In buildings whose basement sits lower than the street and in newer housing complexes, a balcony drain can be the first sign of a problem on the shared line.

When a balcony strainer fills with leaves, soil and sand, the deposit hardens inside the pipe and stops water from getting through. Cantley first looks inside the pipe with a camera and works out whether the blockage is in the strainer, the elbow or the downpipe. We talk through the cause with you on site, then clear the drain with a motorised drain snake or high-pressure water jetting.

## How does balcony drain unclogging in Zeytinburnu work?

In densely built areas such as Merkezefendi and Seyitnizam, adjoining apartment blocks line narrow streets, and small workshops in basements can add extra load to the shared line. A business owner living above a shop on a main street may notice that water pooling on the balcony after rain is seeping into the ceiling. A family in an older block may find that leaves and sand coming down from the roof are affecting the balcony drains on several floors at once.

In renovated buildings around Kazlıçeşme and Telsiz, the point where the old street connection meets the new building outlet is one of the first places to check. On site, we first use a camera to tell whether the problem is inside the building or in the street connection, and we choose the clearing method accordingly.

## Frequently asked questions

### How can I tell if my balcony drain is blocked in Zeytinburnu?

If water collects on the balcony floor after rain and does not drain away, the drain pipe may have narrowed. Water rising up to the door threshold or a damp stain on the ceiling of the flat below are signs of the same problem. If you smell sewer odour from the balcony, the trap has either dried out or become blocked.

### Do you need to break the floor to unclog a balcony drain?

In most cases you do not, because the blockage is cleared through the strainer opening with a motorised drain snake. If the drain is buried under the floor finish, we first use a camera to find where the connection leads, and if needed we discuss replacing the PVC drain pipe at the same time.

### Can all the balcony drains in a building block up at the same time?

Yes. In older buildings, when the whole downpipe fills with leaves and sand from the roof, the balconies on several floors can be affected at once. In that case the cleaning is done from top to bottom, and the sludge is taken out through the manhole at the building entrance or the access cover in the garden. In Zeytinburnu we plan the work in advance together with the building management.
