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
Omariya's flats are relatively old with thicker walls and floors than modern buildings, and pipes are buried deep within the wall body or under old tiles. When we detect a leak here we use sounding rods and water pressure testing to confirm exactly where the leak sits before we dig anywhere. Water lines in older homes sometimes corrode from inside, so we pay close attention to copper and steel pipes.
Omariya sits in Farwaniya governorate, an older residential area with medium-sized flats and co-op services.
Water pipes in Omariya older than the 1980s are usually galvanised iron or thin copper, both more prone to internal corrosion.

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 Omariya
No, we use very low test pressure, not high pressure. Sounding rods and the listening device come first, then a gentle pressure check to confirm location. The old pipes stay safe.
We know that from sounding and testing before we start. Most underground leaks in shared lines need co-op coordination, so we advise you to speak to management first before any work begins.
