Leak detection
Ramadan Drain CleaningWater leak detection in Bnaidar
Water leak detection in Bnaidar runs through the supply line buried underground, where the water stays under pressure all day without stopping. Bnaidar is a residential area in Ahmadi, and houses here have a deep distribution main running under driveways and garden beds, so before we dig we work from ground level.
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.
This area
What setsthis area apart
Bnaidar houses mix single villas and flats, with the main supply line running deep under driveways and pavements. If there's a leak in the line, you'll notice soft ground, a small subsidence, or an unexpectedly high water bill. We run a pressure test on the line itself before we pinpoint the exact spot, then we dig at the location we've marked.
Bnaidar sits in Ahmadi governorate, a residential area where the main supply line runs deep beneath the surface.
Supply mains in Bnaidar run deeper than lines under narrow villa streets, because residential roads are wider and the original trenching went deeper.

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.
Common questions
Questions about Water leak detection in Bnaidar
Your monthly bill jumps significantly above normal, even when you're not using as much water as usual. You might feel soft or damp patches near the driveway or garden with no obvious reason.
A pressure test tells us a leak exists and the line isn't holding water. Leak detection then pinpoints exactly where on the line, so we mark coordinates on the ground before any digging starts.
