Leak detection
Ramadan Drain CleaningWater tank leaks in Abu Hasaniya
Water tank leak detection in Abu Hasaniya starts with careful inspection of the float valve and overflow, because level drop might come from a fault in these before any real tank leak. Abu Hasaniya is a sea-facing villa area, and tanks sit on roofs exposed to constant salt air and moisture.
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
All Abu Hasaniya villas sit close to sea and seafront, with roofs mounting tanks constantly exposed to salt and moisture. Pipes run from the tank across the roof or inside drops, and because of the coastal position, metals corrode faster than anywhere else in Kuwait. The float valve can degrade from salt, and the overflow may clog with salt deposits. When we check, we examine joints, overflow and valve first, before looking for a hole in the tank body.
Abu Hasaniya is in Mubarak Al-Kabeer governorate, a seafront villa zone with direct sea views.
Coastal tanks in Abu Hasaniya face more salt and moisture than any area, so routine maintenance is essential.

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 Hasaniya
Not necessarily. We first check the valve, overflow and pipes, because most coastal area problems are in the valve or overflow. If the tank itself is sound with no holes, replacing just the valve might suffice.
Yes, exposed overflow lines easily collect salt deposits, moisture and dust. We inspect and clean it of debris, and unblock it if clogged. If overflow is blocked, the tank can overflow silently and waste large amounts of water.
