What does the camera show?
A drain camera shows the inside of an accessible wastewater line with suitable geometry; a broken joint or deposits can be seen this way. A camera is not sent into a pressurized water pipe in every case; that line is checked with a pressure test, acoustic listening and thermal inspection.
A narrow entry, an S-bend or a damaged pipe can stop the camera.
When the water-line tests come back clean
In Esenyurt Yeşilkent, acoustic listening found no clear leak sound, and separate pressure tests on the hot and cold water lines showed no drop. We saw that the kitchen drain ran through the balcony and inspected it with a camera. On other jobs, symptoms and access determine the inspection sequence.
A job from Esenyurt Yeşilkent
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.
From finding to repair
We show you what the camera found and explain why the leak happened and what repair it needs. The repair is a separate quotation; if you accept, we set a convenient date. After the repair, we run plenty of water through the line and check the joint again.
Before the visit
Note which drain makes the wet area worse after use: kitchen sink, basin, shower or washing machine. Clear the cabinets under the sink and basin, and arrange access to the drain opening and to the wet area downstairs.
Relevant fee conditions
Daytime detection starts at 3,000 TL for a standard apartment. If our inspection finds no leak in that apartment, the full investigation fee still applies.
If proper inspection conditions are available and we establish that a leak exists but cannot locate it, we do not charge for that detection. If lack of access or another obstacle outside our control prevents completion, the full detection fee applies.
We explain the separate fee before testing another apartment. If tests after the first repair reveal a second leak in the same apartment during the same visit, we do not charge another detection fee; repair costs remain separate. An unrelated new leak at a later visit is a new service.
Daytime prices apply from 06:00 to 00:00. From 00:00 to 06:00, a 50% surcharge applies to the daytime price. Daytime prices also apply during daytime hours on weekends and public holidays.
Common questions
Does the camera show a leak in a water supply pipe?
No. A drain camera is for the inside of wastewater pipes. On a pressurized water line, a pressure test shows the loss; acoustic listening or thermal inspection narrows down its location.
Is the inspection free if no leak is found?
Finding no leak in the inspected apartment does not remove the fee. If proper conditions are available and we establish a leak but cannot locate it, there is no charge for that detection. The full fee applies if lack of access prevents completion.
Does detection include the repair?
Detection and repairs are separate jobs. Daytime detection for a standard apartment starts at 3,000 TL. We discuss repair materials, labor and any surface reinstatement separately.
