Leak detection
Ramadan Drain CleaningWater leak detection in Hateen
Water leak detection in Hateen often begins with damp patches on walls or high water bills with no obvious cause. Hateen is a residential area in Hawalli with a mix of villas and flats, where supply pipes run under narrow pathways and courtyards. We pinpoint the leak on the floor before any excavation.
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
Hateen houses range from old to new, with villas having supply and waste lines beneath courtyards and side passages. Residential flats house vertical risers inside walls rising from ground level, so any leak near the wet area or kitchen drips on the flat below. We use sensitive listening tools to locate the leaking pipe without breaking walls.
Hateen is a residential area in Hawalli governorate, containing villas and flats with supply pipes running beneath pathways and courtyards.
Most older Hateen homes had their pipes installed over two decades ago, and the metals have begun to corrode and thin internally.

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 Hateen
Not necessarily, the bill could be high from heavy use or an old appliance losing water slowly. We check the pipes, the ground tank, and the roof tank to confirm the leak is the actual cause.
We listen to the pipe first with a detector and mark the exact spot on the asphalt or interlock. Then we tell you precisely where the break is before you hire anyone to dig or break the surface.
