Inspection and tests
Does a ceiling stain show the exact pipe location?
Water can travel through the building. We assess the stain together with the relevant plumbing above it and choose tests according to the findings. Dampness alone does not prove an active pipe leak.
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.
How do you decide which device to use?
By symptom and access. On a water supply line, a pressure test shows whether there is a loss; acoustic listening and thermal inspection help narrow down where; a drain camera shows the inside of a wastewater pipe. Not every device is used on every job.
Fees, breaking and repair
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.
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.
Is repairing only the cracked point enough?
It can be if the rest of the line is sound. If the pipes are worn throughout with several damaged points, a local repair will not stop leaks elsewhere, so we do not guarantee sections we did not touch.
How do you check after a repair?
After a water supply repair we turn the water on and look at the repaired joint; after a drain repair we run plenty of water through the line. In Avcılar Cihangir and Esenyurt Yeşilkent, this check showed no further leak at the repaired joint.
