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
Salmi has scattered villas and flats spread across distance, marking the last residential zone before the border. Main lines travel very long distances from the central station, so pressure rises and falls with demand. Old villas have metal tanks and copper pipes, while new flats have plastic lines and concrete tanks. Leaks here are rare because usage is lower, but if one occurs it takes time to detect. We focus on pressure measurement and listening to long line runs and tanks, and we determine if the leak is from pressure fluctuation or pipe damage itself.
Salmi sits in Jahra governorate, a remote residential area near the Kuwait-Iraq border crossing.
Salmi main lines are very long and carry variable pressure, so small leaks may stay hidden for extended periods.

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 Salmi
Lines are very long and pressure changes throughout the day, so a small leak may not cause noticeable wall dampness. We need to stabilize pressure and use the stethoscope along the entire main line to catch the leak sound.
Old villa metal tanks and copper pipes may corrode from pressure fluctuation, but the leak only becomes obvious if it is large. We check the tank, main pipes, and joints with precise pressure measurement and listening at every point.
