Leak detection
Ramadan Drain CleaningWater leak detection in Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh
Water leak detection in Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh starts with a high water bill or unexpected dampness in a wall. The flats, small villas and stacked residential buildings near the market area rely on old supply and drainage lines from the ground up.
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
Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh is a dense residential area with stacked apartment blocks, small villas and tightly packed flats. Main supply lines run under narrow passages and streets, and pipes inside homes are usually buried in walls or concrete floors. When we detect a leak, we focus on connection points and joints between pipes in bathrooms, kitchens and rear rooms, using rods and our small electric detector to pinpoint the exact leak location before any breaking work starts.
Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh sits in Farwaniya governorate, a dense residential district near Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh market area.
Most apartment blocks in Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh have the main supply line entering directly from the street to the ground floor, then rising through a single central riser.

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 Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh
No, we pinpoint the exact location using our electric detector. Then we open only a small area where we've marked it, and if the pipe is accessible we fix it without unnecessary breaking.
The main line is under pressure all day, so a leak in it never stops even when you shut off the taps. Internal pipes may leak slower or only when you use water, but both are dangerous and both must be repaired.
