One kitchen and one bathroom together
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.
First by eye, then a smoke test if needed
Some causes can be seen: if the floor drain in the bathroom has no water left in its trap, or the drain hose under a sink or basin has no trap arrangement to hold back the smell, the odor can come into the room.
For odor points that cannot be seen, we connect a smoke machine to a suitable drain line; where the smoke comes out shows the problem area. We start from the place where the smell is strongest.
If smell and damp come together
If there is also damp or dripping downstairs below the connection the smell comes from, water may be escaping from that connection too. Leak detection may then also be needed; mention both signs when you call.
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.

Common questions
If I smell gas, should I call you?
No. Drain odor detection is not a gas safety check. If you suspect gas, call the 187 natural gas emergency line straight away.
Once the source is found, do you repair it too?
Yes, under a separate quote. We give the price of repairs such as a trap, seal or pipe joint after the detection; if you accept, we do it.
