Leak detection
Ramadan Drain CleaningWater leak detection in Fahad Al-Ahmad
Water leak detection in Fahad Al-Ahmad often starts with hearing water running under the ground or a water bill that jumps up with no obvious reason. Fahad Al-Ahmad is a suburban area of modern apartment blocks and newer villas in Ahmadi, and the main supply lines feed quickly from the street into the homes.
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
Homes in Fahad Al-Ahmad follow a planned residential layout, and apartments and villas have water supply lines buried under pavements and walkways. The main line runs from the public street and enters the house at the front entrance or beneath the front yard. If the leak is in the main line before the meter, water surfaces on the pavement or at the house foundation, and our tracing pins down exactly where. We check the entire line from entry point to meter before directing the owner to any excavation.
Fahad Al-Ahmad is located in Ahmadi governorate, a residential district mixing apartment blocks and villas fed by municipal supply mains.
Water mains in Fahad Al-Ahmad run at a consistent depth because the land is level and development was planned before construction.

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.
