Zeytinburnu Washbasin Unclogging
The most common questions we get about washbasin unclogging in Zeytinburnu are why a washbasin starts draining slowly and whether it will clear by itself. Most often the cause is a clump of hair and soap in the first few centimetres of the drain, but the same symptom can also point to the line inside the wall.
On site, the first job is to check the trap under the washbasin, the plug mechanism and then the connection in the wall, in that order. Once the location of the blockage is clear, the unclogging begins: if the trap is clean but the water still won't run, the motorised drain snake goes into the wall, and on recurring or long lines a camera shows the inside of the pipe. This way most blockages can be reached without removing tiles or the countertop.
Where does a washbasin blockage in Zeytinburnu start, between the building and the street connection?
In the multi-storey residences built through urban regeneration around Kazlıçeşme and Telsiz, the joint can be weak where the building outlet is attached to an old street connection. Even if the washbasin is new, pieces of mortar left over from construction can slip into the pipe and collect in the drain. In these buildings, checking the washbasin is not enough: a camera shows the inside of the building and the street connection separately.
In densely built neighbourhoods such as Merkezefendi and Seyitnizam, the washbasins in offices and business centres in adjoining buildings are used heavily all day. When bits of paper towel and liquid soap residue build up in the trap layer by layer, the blockage keeps coming back. In these workplaces we first find the source with the camera, and the unclogging method is chosen accordingly.
Frequently asked questions
My washbasin is draining slowly in Zeytinburnu, should I try to clear it myself?
Yes, taking out the plug and cleaning the hair and soap residue under it can be a first step, but do it without forcing anything. Do not use chemical drain opener, because it can strain the seals and the pipe, can irritate skin and eyes, and its residue makes the unclogging work that follows harder. If the water still won't run, it becomes more likely that the problem is in the wall line rather than the trap.
Why does a washbasin block so quickly in a new residence in Zeytinburnu?
In a new building, a washbasin can block even when the plumbing is sound, because of mortar and sand left over from construction and because the building outlet is attached to an old street connection. That is why looking only at the washbasin is not enough: the camera shows where the line narrows. If the problem is in the shared stack, we discuss with the site management which part will be cleared.
How does the work go when a washbasin is blocked in an office or business centre?
First the trap, the plug and the wall connection are inspected on site, and the drain is cleared once the cause has been explained to you. The washbasin's level of use during the day is also taken into account, so the work is planned for the time that disrupts your operation least. If the blockage keeps recurring, the shared line is viewed with the camera and the source of the problem is identified.
