Zeytinburnu Drain Unclogging
A good share of drain unclogging jobs in Zeytinburnu start in the basements of attached, side-by-side apartment buildings. Working on a line without knowing which pipe has the problem means forcing the same line again and again.
To clear a blockage without breaking tiles or walls, Cantley first watches where the water stops in the drain, then shows you the location of the obstruction on camera. Whether it is a kitchen sink or a bathroom drain, every blockage is the sign of something that has built up at one particular point in the pipe. Depending on the pipe diameter and the type of blockage, we use a motorised drain snake, a robotic machine or high-pressure water jetting. A layer of grease and a clump of hair call for different methods, so we make the choice together with you at the address.
Basement floors and redeveloped buildings in Zeytinburnu
In Merkezefendi and Seyitnizam, attached buildings and narrow streets sit side by side, and some basements house garment workshops. In one building in Seyitnizam, the sink in an elderly couple's flat drains slowly while, in the workshop in the same building's basement, water rises from the floor drain. When a shared line blocks, the basement is the first place to be affected, so once the line is clear we talk to the business owner about a setup that prevents backflow.
In Kazlıçeşme and Telsiz, buildings renewed through urban transformation stand out. Even when the pipework of a new building is laid well, the joint can be the first place to block if the outlet line is connected to an old street connection. In older buildings still waiting for redevelopment, kitchen lines narrowed by grease and the shared stack cause problems. That is why we first look inside the line with a camera and work out whether the problem is in the flat or in the street connection.
Frequently asked questions
What should I do when a sink drain is blocked in Zeytinburnu?
First check whether another drain is affected at the same time, because this tells you whether the problem is in a single trap or in the shared pipe. Do not try to take the trap apart yourself, as the seals can be damaged. We also do not recommend chemical drain openers, since they can harm the pipe wall.
Why does the drain overflow first in a basement in Zeytinburnu?
Basements are often lower than the main line in the street, so when the shared line blocks, the water shows up there first. If you notice a smell or gurgling from the floor drain, the problem has most likely built up in the building's shared line. In that case clearing only the basement drain is not enough, and the line further along has to be checked.
Is it necessary to look with a camera before clearing a blockage?
It is not essential for every blockage, but when the obstruction is inside a wall or a floor, the camera is the most accurate way. By seeing on screen what the blockage is and where it stops, we can work without breaking tiles. Because we show you the footage too, it is clear why we chose this method.
