Zeytinburnu No-Dig Drain Unclogging

When the team arrives, they check which drain the water stops at, then send a waterproof camera into the pipe from the nearest cleaning access point. Once the type and distance of the blockage appear on the screen, they show it to you and you choose the method together. Grease and hair build-up is cleared with a motorised drain snake or a robot head, and long runs are cleared with high-pressure water jetting. If the pipe is crushed, breaking may be needed, but then only a single small spot is opened.

In densely built neighbourhoods such as Merkezefendi and Seyitnizam, small garment workshops operate in basement floors. Fabric dust and lint going down toilets, sinks and floor drains end up in the shared line, and basement floors, which sit lower than the main line, are the first to be affected.

In the urban renewal buildings around Kazlıçeşme and Telsiz, the junction can be weak where the building outlet was joined to an old street connection. In new buildings, mortar and construction debris that got into the pipe in the first years cause blockages. In a flat you have just moved into, or in heavily used places such as student houses and dormitories, hair and soap build-up can also narrow the drain quickly. So we first check with the camera whether the problem is inside the building or in the street connection.
