Leak detection
Ramadan Drain CleaningLeak detection in Sabahiya
Leak detection in Sabahiya starts when you notice the meter keeps running even with all taps closed. Sabahiya is a large residential neighbourhood in Ahmadi, packed with apartment blocks and some villas, with pipes dating back to the 1960s when building began.
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
Blocks and flats in Sabahiya share very long main lines, and leaks are usually either in the shared run under the street or in the riser that comes up from the ground for each block. The inspection chamber in Sabahiya sits fairly deep, and the ground is solid asphalt. If the leak is in the main before the buildings, we measure pressure from the first water entry point for each building and compare them to locate the fault. Old Sabahiya pipes corrode and fracture from ground movement and foundation settling.
Sabahiya sits in Ahmadi governorate, a dense residential neighbourhood of apartment blocks, flats and some villas.
Main lines under Sabahiya streets run about 1.5 metres deep, and a leak there shows as a damp patch or slight settlement in the tarmac.

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 Sabahiya
If the leak is on the main before your meter, responsibility lies with Ahmadi Municipality or the ministry depending on contract terms. We pinpoint exactly where it is, then you contact them or we help you write the notification.
If the leak is in your flat, we can finish detection and testing in roughly an hour. If it is in the shared line under the street, we need to test from multiple blocks, which takes longer, but we only dig once we are sure of the exact spot.
