Leak detection
Ramadan Drain CleaningWater leak detection in Mina Abdullah
Leak detection at Mina Abdullah demands precision, because the main line is under constant pressure and every drop of seepage costs valuable water. Mina Abdullah is an oil zone on the coast with large port and terminal facilities.
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
Mina Abdullah has desalination plants, distribution water lines and overhead tanks in confined space near the port terminal. The ground here is damp and close to the sea, with buried lines running under critical infrastructure. When we trace a leak we follow the line with extreme precision and pinpoint the seep exactly before any digging or excavation is allowed.
Mina Abdullah sits in Ahmadi governorate, a coastal oil zone with major desalination and terminal plants.
Main lines at Mina Abdullah operate under high pressure to feed the various plants and facilities across the zone.

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.

We use detection rods and close listening to trace the line from above ground. We pinpoint the leak location exactly, then mark it clearly on the surface before indicating any excavation point.
Yes, the smallest pressurised leak makes a sound and leaves moisture, and we can hear it and locate it even if the naked eye sees nothing on the surface.
