Leak detection
Ramadan Drain CleaningWater tank leaks in Abu Fatira
Water tank leak detection in Abu Fatira focuses on building type: most homes are older concrete villas with tanks on metal frames in the yard. Water may drop from the tank itself or from the risers carrying the line into the house.
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
Most Abu Fatira villas were built years ago, with tanks on iron frames in the outer yard or on a concrete pad near the entrance. The lines from tank to roof run in old vertical chases or exposed brackets, and many leaks come from these pipes inside walls or below the floor slab. Old houses have no electronic gauge, so we measure level by sight and mark, and any visible drop means something is wrong.
Abu Fatira lies in Mubarak Al-Kabeer governorate, an older villa area with tanks on metal frames in yards.
Abu Fatira's riser pipes are mostly old metal or uninsulated PVC, prone to leaking at joints due to heat changes.

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 Abu Fatira
Remove the tank lid and mark the water level with a pen or chalk on the inside tank wall. After two or three days, remove the mark and measure the drop. If it falls more than a few centimetres, there is a leak.
First we confirm the tank and valve are sound. If they are, the problem is in the buried pipes and you need direct repair by a plumber who can patch or replace the pipe.
