Leak detection
Ramadan Drain CleaningLeak detection in Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh
Leak detection in Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh starts when you spot wall damp or your water bill spikes without reason. Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh is a dense residential area in Farwaniya with flats and villas clustered close together, and the pipes run under tiles and within the walls of each unit.
What you see
When you have ahidden leak.
Four signs that water is escaping somewhere you cannot see.
01
The bill climbs on its own
Your usage did not change but the bill did. Water escaping from a cracked pipe under the tiles passes the meter exactly like water you actually used.
02
Damp rising from below
A dark line low on the wall or along a tile joint that comes back after it dries. Water from a pipe under the floor travels through the bedding and surfaces away from the break.
03
The pump runs with taps shut
Close every tap in the house and listen to the pump. If it starts by itself, the pressure is dropping in a closed line, and water is leaving it somewhere.
04
One warm patch of floor
If one stretch of floor is warmer than the tiles around it, the leak is usually on the hot line. Heat reaches the surface before the damp does, so it shows first.

What setsthis area apart
Flats and villas in Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh were built quickly in the sixties and seventies, and the copper and steel pipes in them have aged. Leaks usually start in pipes under the floor or inside walls running from the kitchen and bathroom, and under the tiles you cannot see if water is trickling. We inspect the floor drains and floor footprint in detail and test the water lines before we say there is a real leak and where it sits exactly.
Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh sits in Farwaniya governorate, a dense residential area near the Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh market.
Most hot and cold water pipes in Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh flats are hidden under floors or within wall cavities, so a small leak becomes a big one before you notice it.

How we find it
From the call to themarked spot.
Four steps, and none of them needs anything broken open.
You describe what you see
Tell us where the damp is, when it started, whether the bill jumped, and whether the tank is on the roof or in the ground.
We split the network up
We close the valves one at a time and watch the meter, so we know which line is losing water before hunting the exact point.
We listen to the live line
Water escaping under pressure makes a steady rush. We listen at valves and fittings, then across the floor itself, until the sound peaks.
We mark it and say what is next
We mark the place on the floor in front of you and say which line it is, so the opening is at one point and not across the room.
Common questions
Questions about Leak detection in Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh
We inspect the bathroom, kitchen and hallway by eye first, looking for dark patches, damp or smell on the tiles. Then we test the whole line with the gauge to see if there is low pressure or the sound of water running secretly.
Water pouring from the pipe under the floor rises up through the walls because they are connected, so damp comes out higher on the wall. The leak itself may be a metre or a metre and a quarter below the floor, but the moisture travels up the walls with the plaster.
