Leak detection
Ramadan Drain CleaningWater tank leaks in Abdali
Water tank leak detection in Abdali starts with a simple fact: the tank drops even though no one is using water. Abdali is a farming area near the Iraqi border mixed with scattered residential homes, and tanks there sit high on rooftops or concrete towers.
Where to start
Where the levelis going.
Four signs that separate a leaking tank from the rest.
01
It drops with nobody using it
Mark the level at night and look at it in the morning before anyone uses water. A clear drop with no use means water is leaving the tank or a pipe off it, not being consumed.
02
Damp on the wall below
A line of damp or white salt running down the roof wall under the tank says water is leaving the tank or a fitting on it. A ground tank shows the same trace on the paving around it.
03
The overflow runs all day
If the overflow pipe is running while you are not filling, the float valve is not closing and the tank keeps filling and throwing it away. That is a real loss on the bill, but it is not a hole in the tank.
04
The pump fills more than usual
A pump that runs more often than it used to on the same usage says water is going missing between filling and using it, either in the tank or on the line after it.
This area
What setsthis area apart
Homes and farms in Abdali rely on large elevated tanks because network pressure is not enough for everyone. If a tank sits high on a concrete tower, checking the tank walls and the pipes coming down from underneath is trickier, but inspection starts from the top. We look for damp patches on the tank side or on the walls below it, check the pipes bolted to the tank itself, test the float valve, and trace the falling pipes below the waterline.
Abdali sits in Jahra governorate, a farming and residential area with large elevated tanks on concrete towers.
Tanks in Abdali are usually open-top or sit in direct sun, so slow seepage from the walls shows up faster than in shaded areas.

How we check
From the mark tothe cause.
Four steps, each one taking a possible cause off the list.
We mark the level and close the outlets
We mark the water level on the tank body and close the inlet and outlet valves, so the tank is shut and nothing can enter or leave it.
We read the level again
If the level drops while the tank is closed on both sides, the loss is in the tank body itself or in a fitting below the water line.
We open the outlets one at a time
If the level held while it was closed and dropped once the outlet was opened, the tank is sound and the loss is on the line after it, which is a pipework job.
We check the body and fittings
We go over the seams, the corners, the area round the outlet boss and the base, then the float valve and the overflow, and tell you the cause and what it needs.
Common questions
Questions about Water tank leaks in Abdali
A broken float cuts the incoming water when the tank fills, but if it cracks or jams, water spills from the top pipe. A tank wall leak means water escapes from the bottom or the side. We check both in the same visit.
If the pipe itself is cracked or punctured, water leaks along the route between tank and house. We replace the pipe or seal the hole, but first we make sure the leak is from the pipe, not from a fitting inside.
