Leak detection
Ramadan Drain CleaningWater tank leaks in Abraq Khitan
Water tank leak detection in Abraq Khitan focuses on underground and overhead tanks, and most homes in Abraq Khitan are older villas with tanks either below ground or on the roof. The area needs careful inspection because underground leaks may not show for a long time.
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
Abraq Khitan is an older villa area, with most houses built twenty years ago or longer, and underground tanks are common, often buried under the driveway or rear yard. A leak from an underground tank may only show up if you notice dampness in the soil or odd humidity, or if the water table rises. We inspect the tank externally and may need to dig a little if the leak is not obvious. Overhead tanks in older villas often lack insulation and need regular maintenance.
Abraq Khitan is in Farwaniya governorate, a relatively older villa area with a mix of underground and overhead tanks.
Underground tanks in Abraq Khitan are usually buried one to one and a half metres deep, making leaks hard to spot without careful inspection.

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 Abraq Khitan
Watch the yard around your tank for unusual dampness or dew even in sunlight. You might feel moisture on the outer wall or notice the water level dropping fast with no use. We bring our kit to inspect the area.
If the leak is small from the connections, we fix it without pulling the tank out. If it is from the concrete body and large, extraction and replacement is more reliable than temporary repair.
