# Zeytinburnu Blocked Drain Clearing

The need for blocked drain clearing in Zeytinburnu is usually noticed in the morning: the kitchen sink starts to empty slowly, and after a while the water stops draining altogether. When you see this, instead of forcing the drain with a hard rod, you need to find out which part of the plumbing the blockage is sitting in. Work done at the wrong point leaves the blockage where it is and brings the problem back in a bigger form.

At Cantley, on every call from Zeytinburnu we first ask over the phone which drains are affected, then we inspect the inside of the line with a camera at the address. Once the screen shows whether the blockage is a hard object or a build-up of grease and sediment, the clearing method is clear too. We remove solid blockages with a motorised drain snake or a robot machine, and we clean grease and sludge with high-pressure water jetting right up to the pipe walls. When the job is done, we test all the drains one by one and explain the cause to you.

## Why drain problems look different in Zeytinburnu

In Merkezefendi and Seyitnizam, terraced apartment blocks and narrow streets make up a dense built-up fabric. Many of these buildings have garment workshops in the basement, and because the toilets, sinks and tea corners there are used heavily all day, fabric dust and lint get into the floor drains and even into the line. Basement floors sit lower than the main line in the street, so when the shared line blocks, these workshops are often the first place to be affected. In buildings like these, after clearing the line we talk to the business owner about preventing backflow, and we agree together on the time that disrupts the work least.

In Kazlıçeşme and Telsiz, on the other hand, buildings renewed through urban transformation and new housing complexes stand out. When the outlet pipe of a new building is joined to an old street connection, the junction can be left weak, and in the first years mortar and construction debris that has slipped into the pipe also causes blockages. In older buildings still waiting their turn for transformation, kitchen lines narrowed by grease and the shared stack cause the trouble. In Zeytinburnu we first use the camera to tell whether the problem is inside the building or at the street connection, and we choose the clearing method accordingly.

## Frequently asked questions

### What should I do when my kitchen drain blocks in Zeytinburnu?

Call us without forcing the drain with a hard rod, because forcing it can pack the blockage in even tighter. It is enough to tell us which drains have slowed down, where the water is rising from and whether your neighbours have a similar problem.

### If only one drain is blocked, should the whole plumbing system be checked?

No. If a single drain is slow, the blockage is usually in the trap or in the pipe right behind it, and the work covers only that drain. If the bathroom and shower slow down together, the problem is in the connection pipe and it needs to be looked at with a camera.

### What does it mean if water comes up on the lower floor of an old apartment building in Zeytinburnu?

This most often points to a blockage in the shared stack and concerns the whole building. You should ask the building management to have the stack inspected with a camera.
