What moves it
Why two of the same job cost different amounts
These apply at the same time and in both directions. Which of them is true of your kitchen is what the on-site diagnostic settles.
-
Drain, seal or both
Outdoors a tired seal makes more water than the drain was designed for, so treating either alone brings the puddle back inside a month.
-
Whether the drain path can be cleared or replaced
Poured through and watched rather than poked at. A channel that passes slowly will block again before the season is out and is better replaced now.

What the water has already reached
Standing water in a cabinet in an island finds fixings and electrics. Finding that now is part of this page.

from $125 Drain and condensation service
Water inside a cold cabinet, or under it, and neither is usually a leak in the refrigeration. Every cold machine makes water and has a planned route for it; when the route blocks, the water finds its own, and outdoors there is a second source that indoor cabinets never have — humid air arriving past a tired seal and condensing on everything cold. The two causes look identical on the floor and are completely different to fix. We deal with the drain and the seal together, because fixing one and leaving the other means somebody sees the same puddle next month.
- Water inside is almost never a refrigerant leak
- Outdoors, a tired seal makes water the drain then has to deal with
- Drain and seal are one job — treating either alone brings it back

About DCS drain and condensation service cost
Why this figure is a from
Cheap work with an expensive alternative. Water inside a cold cabinet is almost never a refrigerant leak, and the figure depends on whether it is the drain, the seal, or — as it usually is outdoors — both of them feeding each other.
What we will not do
We do not quote a repair over the telephone from a description, and we do not publish a final price anywhere on this site. Both are the same rule. On this badge there is a second reason: most of this equipment is set into something a mason built, and until the surround has been seen, half of any estimate is missing. There is a third. Salt does not age two kitchens at the same rate, and a fixing that has seized turns a twenty-minute part change into an afternoon. We would rather establish all of that than guess at a number.

Before you book
Questions about DCS drain and condensation service cost
Why is it a from and not a price?
Because the same job is not the same work on two machines. Outdoors there are two large variables before a part is named: what the machine is set into, and how long the salt has been working on it. Either can change the hour, and a seized fixing can change it more than the component being replaced. The exact cost is confirmed on site, in writing, before anything is opened.
Is the diagnostic on top of this?
The diagnostic is from $95 and it comes off the repair when you go ahead. Where the finding is that the machine is not worth mending — or that the problem belongs to the gas supply or the building's power rather than to the appliance — you have paid for the answer and not for a part.
