What the camera shows
In two of the jobs described here we used the camera in a drain line. In Bağcılar Demirkapı we saw water standing in the pipe after unblocking; the metal tool only came out once the PVC pipe was opened. In Güngören Güneştepe the camera could not get past the shower trap, so we went in through the basin drain and saw insufficient slope and built-up dirt. Our jobs involving leaks in clean water lines are on the leak detection page.

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
Can the camera also find clean water leaks?
No. This inspection is for waste water lines; on a pressurised clean water line the plumber chooses another method, such as listening or a pressure test.
Can the camera go in from any point?
No. It may not get past a narrow or unsuitable trap; then another reachable drain is used. In a job in Güngören Güneştepe we went in through the basin drain instead of the shower trap.
