Leak detection
Ramadan Drain CleaningWater leak detection in Rehab
Water leak detection in Rehab focuses on small homes and medium apartments for young families. Rehab is a family-oriented residential district in Farwaniya, with villas and flats built around the same period, and water mains standardised as much as possible, so a leak shows quickly because the bill rises fast.
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
Rehab homes are a mix of small villas and three or four storey apartment blocks, with medium-sized plots, so the main line does not run far. Blocks have roof tanks or basement tanks, flats connect directly from the meter. A leak here is usually in old galvanised pipe or new connections, and locating it is straightforward because homes are not spread over wide areas, so we reach the spot quickly before major digging is needed.
Rehab is in Farwaniya governorate, a family residential district with small villas and medium-rise apartment blocks.
Most homes in Rehab were built in the same period, so main lines are similar and common problems are usually the same.

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 Rehab
If the leak is after the meter in flat pipework, the owner or tenant pays. If it is before the meter in the shared building line, the building association or main owner is responsible. We pinpoint the exact location so everyone knows who pays.
If the leak is near the surface or close to the house, we can locate it quickly. If the line is distant or seepage is slow, it may take longer. We listen first, then tell you the estimated time before we start.
