Leak detection
Ramadan Drain CleaningWater leak detection in Khitan Al-Jadida
Water leak detection in Khitan Al-Jadida begins when you call saying your bill jumped or you notice strange dampness inside. Khitan Al-Jadida is a very new neighbourhood with large residential blocks and neatly arranged supply lines under the streets, so a small leak can steal significant water silently over time.
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
Khitan Al-Jadida is entirely modern densely packed apartment blocks, with a main boulevard running through it and water and sewage lines buried underground at regular intervals. The pipes themselves are new and clean, but the connections and valves serving each block are most prone to leak. We start from the street main line and trace each branch into the building until we pinpoint exactly where the problem sits.
Khitan Al-Jadida sits in Farwaniya governorate, a completely new planned neighbourhood of uniform-height apartment blocks with systematic underground infrastructure.
Water lines in Khitan Al-Jadida are spaced uniformly under the main street, and leaks typically originate at connection points rather than the pipes themselves.

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 Khitan Al-Jadida
Possible, but rare because the lines are new. If we check every building connection and find nothing, we move to the street main and inspect from the access cover.
If the leak is at the junction between the line and the building, the building is liable. If it is in the street main, the municipal authority or water company handles the repair.
