# 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We do not quote a repair over the telephone from a description, and we do not publish a final price anywhere on this site.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.

What moves this figure

from $125, and the three things that move it

Masonry and distance from the water are quoted separately — both change the hour

Confirmed on site in writing, and we say when a repair is not worth doing

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.

### 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.
