Leak detection
Ramadan Drain CleaningWater leak detection in Ahmadi
Water leak detection in Ahmadi starts with noticing dampness in a wall or an illogical jump in the water bill. Ahmadi is a planned town with spacious villas and modern apartment blocks, and pipes are laid in an orderly system both underground and overhead.
How to tell
Signs of a leak onthe supply.
Four signs that separate a supply leak from any other damp.
01
The meter turns with nothing on
Shut every tap, the washing machine and the heater, then go and look at the water meter. If the small dial is still turning while nothing is running, water is leaving between the meter and the house.
02
One tile joint stays wet
A joint between two tiles dries and comes back wet on its own, with no water anywhere near it. That joint is the weakest opening in the floor, so it is where water in the bedding surfaces first.
03
Paint lifts and plaster crumbles
Paint bubbling or plaster crumbling at roughly one height along a wall points to a pipe inside it, because the moisture spreads sideways along the line the pipe runs on.
04
Pressure dropped upstairs only
If the pressure drops on the top floor while the ground floor is normal, the loss is usually on the riser. Water leaving it takes away whatever reaches the furthest point in the network.

What setsthis area apart
Ahmadi is a modernly planned town with large independent villas and luxury apartment blocks, wide streets and orderly pathways. Main supply lines run under broad streets, and each villa or building has a known, separate branch. Leaks in Ahmadi may be in old pipes inside walls or in modern pipes on roofs. We use our electric detector to trace the line from the house entry point and determine whether the leak is before or after the branch.
Ahmadi sits in Ahmadi governorate, a planned town near Kuwait Oil Company headquarters and Ahmadi Heritage Garden.
Most villas and blocks in Ahmadi have a separate inspection point near the gate or entry, and pipes are recorded in an orderly manner.

The method
How we get to thepoint.
Four steps, and the order is what keeps the job short.
We confirm there is a loss
We shut everything in the house that uses water, take a meter reading, then take it again. If the reading has moved, the loss is real.
We split inside from outside
We close the valve feeding the house and read again. That says whether the water is going inside the internal network or on the run coming from the tank or the meter.
We narrow it to one line
We close the bathroom, kitchen and hot water valves one at a time. The one that stops the reading is the line that is leaking.
We listen and mark the spot
On the line we found, we listen at its fittings and over the floor above it, then mark the loudest point on the tile in front of you.
