Leak detection
Ramadan Drain CleaningWater leak detection in Yarmouk
Water leak detection in Yarmouk usually begins with a water bill that climbs above normal use. Yarmouk is an older residential area mixing flats and villas, and most supply lines run underground or inside walls, so a leak may stay hidden until the floor sinks or water seeps from the stairwell.
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
Houses in Yarmouk sit close together on asphalted streets with narrow pavements. Flats have water meters inside or near the door, and villas usually have their meter on the street near the boundary wall. A leak in the main line between meter and house, or between the riser and floor level, means water seeps the ground even if no tap drips. We use the probe rod and torch to track dampness and subsidence in the floor and asphalt.
Yarmouk lies in Kuwait governorate, an older residential area mixing flats and villas near Yarmouk Co-operative.
Most main supply lines in Yarmouk are over twenty years old and carry high pressure all day, so a small leak grows fast.

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 Yarmouk
We trace the line from the meter using the probe rod and torch. When we find dampness or floor subsidence, we mark the exact spot before anything is excavated.
The probe can sense a leak even when the pipe sits deep under ground. Tapping helps locate the line route, but the probe is what tells us if water is escaping from the pipe itself.
