Leak detection
Ramadan Drain CleaningLeak detection in Maqwa
Leak detection in Maqwa starts with complaints about water that will not stop running or persistent damp in an interior wall. Maqwa is a mixed industrial and residential area in Ahmadi near KOC fields, with few villas and medium-age residential flats.
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.
This area
What setsthis area apart
Buildings and flats in Maqwa were built in phases, so you find a mix of copper, plastic and older metal pipes. The ground in Maqwa shifts slightly from nearby oil and quarry work, causing pipes to move and develop small cracks. You usually see the leak on the bill first, then notice wall damp later. We start by measuring steady-state pressure on each line, and if we find a drop, we ask the occupant to close all taps, showers and heated appliances to confirm the real leak and rule out false reads.
Maqwa sits in Ahmadi governorate, a mixed residential and industrial area near the oil fields.
Maqwa pipes vary in age and material, and ground settlement speeds cracking in joints rather than in the pipes themselves.

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 Maqwa
We can detect a leak in the main line if it is within 5 metres of the building, but if it is further, we advise you to contact the Public Works Ministry or Municipality. We help you explain exactly where the problem is using our measurements.
Yes, ground movement cracks joints between pipes, especially older ones. If you have a recurring leak in the same spot, ground movement may be the cause, and you might need to replace that section of pipe or those joints with newer material.
