Tracing leaks and assessing drains in Zeytinburnu
The point where water appears may be some distance from its source. For Zeytinburnu enquiries, Fix Tesisat uses the symptoms, line type and access to plan checks, then explains the findings and any separately priced repair.
A ceiling drip led to an old chimney void
In our recorded Zeytinburnu account, intermittent water dripped through a hole roughly a finger wide in the ceiling of a textile shop at the bottom of a five-storey building. The water did not spread over a broad surface or run continuously. Slightly enlarging the hole allowed a camera view into an old chimney void.
Inspection around the chimney on the roof showed that one protective stone had shifted and tilted after another stone fell onto it. Rainwater entered through the gap and travelled down the void to the shop. The visible ceiling point was a trace of water arriving from the roof.
This account establishes the route observed during that investigation. It does not describe a completed repair or a final leak test. A separate existing Sümer account concerns a cold-water leak in a textile business; the two jobs should not be combined.
Symptoms need checks suited to the line
Dampness, seepage to a lower floor or a pressure change does not identify the source by itself. Suitable clean-water checks can include Marwos V18 Plus acoustic listening and a ROTHENBERGER RP 30 pressure test. Raythink CX 200 Pro+ thermal imaging can assist where appropriate. The Roteksan RC400 camera is for suitable wastewater pipework when imaging is necessary and possible.
The address or proximity to the coast does not establish the cause. We explain inspection findings before quoting a repair. Detection, repair and surface closing are separate scopes; the amount of opening depends on the findings and access.
For English, Russian or Arabic communication, send a written WhatsApp message. Translation assistance is used for the exchange. Send the location and symptoms, and confirm the appointment and service scope in writing.
For repairs using materials supplied by Fix Tesisat, the one-year warranty covers only the section we repair or replace. Untouched pipework and later damage from use are outside that scope. Material choices and their voluntary warranty terms are explained in the quote. We do not guarantee that a blockage will never recur.
Flow checks and the limits of drain clearing
We assess the drain and access before selecting the method. Where a clearing machine is needed, we use the ROTHENBERGER R600. Water-flow checking after the line opens does not guarantee that a blockage will never recur. A camera is a supporting check when necessary and technically possible.
If a started machine intervention cannot open the line because of a break, collapse, solid object or public-infrastructure problem, the explained normal service fee applies. Work on public infrastructure stops and you are directed to the relevant authority. Pipe repair or replacement and surface closing are separate jobs.
Necessary, possible camera checks or toilet removal for clearing are included in the agreed clearing price. Optional washing needs its own price and approval. Drain-odour investigation may use smoke and a supporting camera on suitable wastewater pipework; any repair is quoted separately. Bathroom renovation needs its own technical assessment and is not an automatic long-term solution to a repeated symptom.
Areas we serve in Zeytinburnu
We plan visits to the following areas of Zeytinburnu. Each entry describes a service topic to discuss when you contact us. The address, access and available team determine the appointment; the pipe condition is assessed at the property.
Beştelsiz
Describe where water appears and which drains are affected. Whether the job concerns an apartment line or a shared line determines its scope.
Çırpıcı
For slow kitchen or washbasin drainage, identify the affected fixture. Water-flow checking follows opening; it is not a promise that the blockage will never return.
Gökalp
Meter movement or dampness alone does not locate a leak. Clean-water pipework is assessed using suitable measurements.
Kazlıçeşme
Send the address and access details for an indoor or outdoor line. Outdoor-work scope and price are confirmed separately by telephone.
Maltepe
For a blocked toilet, tell us whether other drains are affected. The apartment’s private line and a shared main line have different price scopes.
Merkezefendi
For a connection leak or concealed-leak suspicion, we explain the findings and repair options before seeking approval.
Nuripaşa
Water marks on a ceiling can prompt checks of apartment connections or building pipework. The affected line and access determine the investigation and any opening.
Seyitnizam
For an urgent burst-pipe enquiry, tell us the address and access conditions. Team arrangements depend on the location, traffic and available access.
Sümer
A drain-odour investigation and its resulting repair are separate jobs. The standard-apartment investigation considers the suspected kitchen and bathroom drains.
Telsiz
Describe the affected valve or line so the leak can be assessed and the proposed intervention explained. Repair and testing depend on the fault.
Veliefendi
For a leak or blocked drain in a residential property, the fault must be distinguished before the work and price are agreed.
Yenidoğan
For installation or connection leaks, identify the part and access. Materials, work scope and price are explained before intervention.
Yeşiltepe
A recurring blockage first requires assessment of the affected line. Additional repair or washing of a suitable line has a separate quote and needs approval.
Starting prices for a standard apartment
| Service | Price |
|---|---|
| Water leak detection | 3,000 TL |
| Kitchen blockage on the apartment's private line | 3,000 TL |
| Washbasin blockage on the apartment's private line | 3,000 TL |
| Shower or floor-drain blockage on the apartment's private line | 3,000 TL |
| Toilet blockage on the apartment's private line | 3,500 TL |

| Building main line connected to a kitchen, washbasin, shower or floor drain | 4,500 TL |
| Building main line connected to a toilet | 5,500 TL |
| Drain-odour detection with equipment | 3,000 TL |
These starting prices apply to a standard apartment during daytime service, 06:00–00:00. Night service, 00:00–06:00, adds 50%. The normal daytime rate applies from 06:00 to 00:00 on weekends and public holidays. Prices are valid from 18 October 2026.
Drain clearing is priced by the apartment’s private line or the building’s shared main line, rather than metres or the number of devices used. Connected drains on the same line may form one intervention; independent lines are separate jobs. If the scope matches the telephone discussion, the agreed price applies. A different scope and its revised price are explained before intervention.
The 3,000 TL leak-detection price covers detection in one standard apartment during daytime service. Repair and surface closing are separate. If we establish a leak in the tested apartment but cannot locate its source, we do not charge for that detection. If there is no leak in that apartment, the inspection fee applies. Multiple leaks or a wider repair area do not cancel the fee for detection whose source has been located. Another apartment’s scope and fee are explained before its inspection.
Drain-odour detection with equipment starts at 3,000 TL per apartment; repair is separate. The service investigates drain or wastewater smells. Leak and odour investigations are generally planned for daytime. Night work is generally for blockages and urgent burst pipes; ask about appointment availability.
Duplexes, larger homes, businesses, outdoor areas and wide or multi-zone jobs need a separate telephone quote. Ask us for a quote in Silivri, Çatalca, Pendik, Tuzla, Adalar and Şile. Necessary and technically possible camera checks or toilet removal for clearing are included in the agreed clearing price. Optional pipe washing requires a separate price and your approval.
Questions before arranging a visit
Did the chimney-void investigation establish a completed repair?
The account describes how the rainwater route was found. It does not establish a subsequent repair or final leak test.
Does a single ceiling drip prove a leaking water pipe directly above it?
No. Water may travel before it becomes visible. In the recorded shop investigation it arrived through an old chimney void from the roof. Another property needs its own checks.
Does a successful water-flow check guarantee no further blockage?
No. It checks flow after opening. It is not a guarantee against recurrence; a damaged section may need a separately agreed repair.
How do I arrange written communication in English?
For English, Russian or Arabic communication, send a written WhatsApp message. Translation assistance is used for the exchange. Send the location and symptoms, and confirm the appointment and service scope in writing.
Send the location and describe the symptoms
Include the affected fixtures, when the problem appears, any previous work and access to other flats if relevant. We can discuss the inspection and its price, any separate repair and a suitable appointment.
