Detection, unblocking and repair
Water leak detection
For ceiling drips, damp walls or unexplained water loss, we investigate the suspected line. We choose pressure testing, acoustic listening, thermal inspection or a drain camera according to the symptoms and access.
Drain odor investigation
We investigate odors suspected to come from kitchen and bathroom drain connections. After visible checks, we use a mist test through a suitable access point when needed.
Drain unblocking
For kitchen sinks, washbasins, showers and toilets, we distinguish the apartment drain from the shared building line. We test water flow after mechanical unblocking.
Plumbing repairs
We assess faults in taps, mixers, cisterns, traps and pipe connections. We explain the replacement part, materials and price before starting.
Where is the water?
Choose where you see it; we explain what we look at for that sign.
Test first, then repair
- The apartment where the water appears
This is where we first learn about the mark, when it started and whether it is constant or gets worse when a drain is used. - The line that could be the source
Depending on the symptom we use a pressure test, acoustic listening, thermal inspection or a drain camera; not every job needs all of them. - Finding and separate quotation
We show you the finding and price the repair, and closing up if needed, separately. After the repair we test again with water.
“No leak” and “location not found” are not the same
If there is no leak in the inspected apartment
We charge for the inspection carried out. The test shows there is no leak in that apartment’s plumbing; the water may come from another apartment or line.
If there is a leak but its location was not found
If the required inspection conditions are met and we establish a leak but cannot find where it is, we do not charge for that detection.
An inspection that cannot be completed because of access or another obstacle outside our control is charged in full. Before testing another apartment’s plumbing, we tell you that apartment’s fee separately.
Three jobs from the field
In all three, nothing was broken before the spot was located, and the work was checked with water after the repair.
The tests were clean; the camera showed the break
Water was dripping onto the balcony of the apartment below, and the neighbor said it ran constantly. Acoustic listening found no clear sound, and pressure tests on the hot and cold lines, done separately, showed no drop. When we inspected the kitchen drain running through the balcony with a camera, there was a break where the drain joined the main line.
Finding: The source was not the water supply but a drain joint that carries water whenever the kitchen is used. We repaired the broken joint and checked the seal with plenty of water.
Four hours of dripping, one point opened
The dripping from the ceiling had started about four hours earlier and was continuous, which suggested a pressurized water line. Upstairs, at the point matching the wet spot, we listened acoustically and found a strong leak sound at a single point. The customer chose the repair with closing up; controlled breaking showed the leak came from a coupling joint.
Finding: The coupling joint. We made a new joint, turned the water back on and checked there was no leak, then closed the area and laid the tiles.
Two years of damp, renewal up to the shared branch
The ceiling below had dark patches, bubbling and damp but no dripping; the problem had lasted about two years. In the upstairs apartment’s drain pipework we found worn pipes, heavy limescale and deposits, seals that no longer sealed and cracks. We explained that replacing only the cracks would not stop leaks from the other points, so with a local repair we could not guarantee the rest of the line.
Finding: Several points of the line were damaged. The customer chose renewal; we renewed the apartment’s drain pipework up to the branch fitting on the shared line and finished closing up and tiling after the water tests.
Fees
Leak detection in a standard apartment starts at 3,000 TL by day; the repair is quoted separately. From 00:00 to 06:00, 50% is added to the daytime price. Unblocking and odor investigation prices are in the price table.
Common questions
If the water runs constantly, is the source necessarily the water supply pipe?
No. A leak in a pressurized water line can continue when no water is used, so that is the first suspicion. But in Esenyurt Yeşilkent, water described as “running constantly” came from a drain joint that carries water when the kitchen is used. We decide by testing.
Will you need access to a neighbor’s apartment?
Seeing the damage downstairs helps narrow the investigation. We cannot test an upstairs apartment’s plumbing without access. Arrange permission with the relevant residents before the visit.
Do you close up the opened area?
Closing up is a separate item. The repair quotation can include or exclude closing the opened area and tiling. Our customer in Avcılar Cihangir chose the repair with closing up.
