Leak detection
Ramadan Drain CleaningWater leak detection in Uyoun
Water leak detection in Uyoun starts when you hear water running underground or the bill jumps for no clear reason. Uyoun is an older Jahra area near the springs, with most houses built between the 1980s and 1990s, and the main supply line buried under the street under constant daily pressure.
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
Old houses in Uyoun have copper or galvanised steel pipes buried under the foundation, and the soil here contains salt and sulphates that eat at pipes from outside, so a leak starts slow and gets worse over time. We use a sonic detector to listen for water hammer inside the pipe walls below the concrete, then mark the exact spot with chalk on the floor before we dig, so the house doesn't take more damage.
Uyoun sits in Jahra governorate, an older residential area near the natural water springs in the region.
Old water lines in Uyoun need careful detection because metal pipes corrode from salt and moisture over decades underground.

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 Uyoun
The first sign is dampness on the foundation outside the house or water pooling under the ground near the street. The water bill also climbs even when no taps are running.
We mark the exact spot in chalk, then you choose a digger or plumber to break the concrete and fix the pipe. We detect only, we don't excavate.
