Leak detection
Ramadan Drain CleaningWater leak detection in Qosor
Water leak detection in Qosor focuses on water lines in villas and residential blocks in the southern district. Qosor has old and new houses, and water pipes run under driveways, gardens and deep foundations, so small leaks are trickier but the bill reveals them quickly.
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
Qosor contains old villas from the 1980s and 1990s and modern residential blocks from the last two decades. Older villas have smaller pipes and simple ground tanks; newer blocks have high-pressure systems and rooftop tanks. A leak in an old villa shows on the bill quickly because the line is smaller. A leak in a block's riser leaves damp marks on walls and ceilings. We inspect tanks, gauges and valves before we say it is in the pipes underground.
Qosor sits in southern Mubarak Al-Kabeer governorate, a mixed area with older villas and modern residential blocks.
Water pipes in older Qosor villas are smaller diameter than those in flats, so even a small leak drops pressure across the whole house quickly.

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 Qosor
We shut off hot water from cold first. If the bill does not drop after we close the hot line, the leak is in the cold supply. If it does drop, there is a hot leak. Hot water leaves steam marks and cracks on walls if it is inside the house.
External rust usually does not cause a leak. Leaks come from high pressure or cracks from internal corrosion. We inspect the pipe internally with a camera or tell you the old pipes need replacing.
