Finding the odor source by testing connections, not guessing
Kaçak Tespit Tesisat inspects one kitchen and one bathroom together in the same standard apartment to find which drain joint allows air to escape. Sink traps, floor-drain water seals and washing-machine or dishwasher drain inlets are checked first.
Tell us during your call whether the smell appears on windy days, after flushing, or continuously. Dampness, paint smells or household odors unrelated to wastewater connections are outside this inspection.
Mist test and its limits
When needed, we introduce mist through a suitable entry and observe where it escapes. We may also use a camera if access and pipe geometry allow. This service investigates drain odors; it is not a gas safety test or a search for every possible household smell.
If there is dampness as well as smell
If the apartment below shows dampness or dripping under the drain connection the smell comes from, water may be leaking from the same connection. Then leak detection may be needed instead of, or as well as, the odor investigation; mention both symptoms when you call. On our Esenyurt and Bakırköy jobs, the source of the wet area downstairs was the drain line.
Findings and the repair decision
We explain the suspect connection and the repair required. Repairs to traps, seals or pipe connections are separate from the investigation price. We proceed after you accept the repair quote.
Tell us which rooms and drains are affected. Clear access below cabinets and around drain connections. Explain any parts that have already been replaced.
Relevant fee conditions
Daytime investigation of one kitchen and one bathroom together in the same standard apartment starts at 3,000 TL. This covers investigation only. We discuss additional scope for a third area or multiple kitchens or bathrooms.
If proper inspection conditions are available but we cannot locate the escape point of an odor from the drains, we do not charge for the investigation. If we establish that the odor is not from the drains, the investigation fee applies. If access prevents completion, the full fee applies.
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
Do you also come for a gas smell?
No. This service investigates smells from the drain system; it is not a gas safety test. If you suspect a gas smell, call the 187 natural gas emergency line.
When you find the source, do you also do the repair?
We explain the suspect connection and the repair it needs; repairing a trap, seal or pipe joint is a separate quotation. If you accept, we do the repair too.
