Unblocking, detection and repair
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.
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.
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.
Plumbing repairs
We assess faults in taps, mixers, cisterns, traps and pipe connections. We explain the replacement part, materials and price before starting.
How many drains are blocked?
Before you call, check which drains are slow. These three cases are only a starting point; which line we work on becomes clear on site.
Unblock, wash, repair
Unblock
We clear the blockage and test the flow with water. A camera check the technician finds necessary is included in the unblocking fee.
Wash
If the camera shows heavy grease and dirt on the pipe wall, we suggest it separately. We give the price first and show the result on camera again.
Repair
A cracked or broken pipe is fixed neither by unblocking nor by washing. We repair it under a separate quote.
In Avcılar Yeşilkent the camera showed heavy grease after unblocking; the customer accepted the washing quote. In Başakşehir Kayabaşı the leak came from two cracks in the plastic drain; that needed a repair.
What washing does not solve: slope
Washing cleans the inside of the pipe, but it does not remove a structural slope problem in the plumbing.
We told our customer in Avcılar Yeşilkent the same: cleaning can reduce the risk of a new blockage, but in a long kitchen line with insufficient slope a blockage can happen again.
Six jobs from the field
For each job we wrote what we did and what remained unsolved.
A four-metre kitchen line: unblocking, camera, washing
Water was backing up from the kitchen sink. We cleared it with the machine; the camera showed grease and signs of insufficient slope in the long line, and we did the washing the customer accepted.
Limit: Washing cleaned the inside of the pipe; it did not fix the slope. Because the long route and insufficient slope remain, a new blockage is possible.
Two cracks in a new building, repaired from below
Water was leaking downstairs. With the drain camera we found two separate cracks in the plastic drain and repaired them through the plasterboard of the flat below.
Limit: The exact cause of the cracks could not be determined.
The water came from next door, not from upstairs
Tests in the flat above showed no leak. The bathrooms were back to back; in a separate inspection of the neighbouring flat we found a hot-water leak.
A mixer replacement, and the hoses and valves too
The customer wanted new taps to update the home’s appearance. With their approval, we replaced the taps, worn flexible hoses and faulty isolation valves, and fitted a new shut-off valve at the meter.
A leaking T-fitting and high water pressure
There was heavy leaking through the ceiling below. We found the leak at a T-fitting on the hot-water line and repaired it; on acceptance we fitted a pressure reducer.
Limit: High pressure is not the cause of every burst; a pressure reducer does not guarantee there will be no new fault.
We referred the customer to İSKİ for a water-line inspection
Walls and parquet were wet in a flat on the building’s lowest floor. We found no signs of a leak in the plumbing we checked and referred the customer to İSKİ. The customer later reported that İSKİ crews had found the burst.
Limit: About a day later, the customer told us that İSKİ crews had found the burst. We checked the flat’s plumbing and referred the customer to İSKİ.
Price
Unblocking a single kitchen, basin or shower drain starts from 3,000 TL by day, and the kitchen main line from 4,500 TL. Standard and squat toilets start from 3,500 TL, wall-hung toilets from 4,000 TL including removal and refitting, and the bathroom main line from 5,500 TL. Between 00:00 and 06:00 a 50% surcharge is added to the day price. Washing and repair are separate quotes.
Common questions
If I have the drain washed, will it never block again?
We cannot guarantee that. Washing removes grease and deposits inside the pipe and can reduce the risk of a new blockage; but if the line’s slope is insufficient or the pipe is damaged, a blockage can happen again.
What does the unblocking fee include?
Camera use required for the job and necessary toilet removal and refitting are included in the agreed price for that unblocking job. Repairs and separately recommended drain washing have their own prices.
Is a repeat blockage visit chargeable?
If the crew is still at the property and the original obstruction has not been fully cleared, we continue without an extra unblocking fee. A new call for a blockage after the completed work has been tested is chargeable. We do not guarantee that a line will never block again.
