Leak detection
Ramadan Drain CleaningWater tank leaks in Anjafa
Water tank leak detection in Anjafa starts by comparing water consumption with the number of people in the house, because Anjafa has mid-sized flats and villas. Tanks here are mostly roof-mounted, and the drop pipes from the tank run past other roofs or narrow passages, so a leak may drip onto a neighbour's house before you notice it yourself.
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
Flats and villas in Anjafa sit very close to each other, with rooftop tanks surrounded by neighbouring tanks. Drop pipes run down external or internal walls, and a leaking joint means water runs down and hits adjacent walls. We check every fitting, the float valve, and overflow pipes, plus the spots where water might drip onto the neighbour or the flat below. Plastic tanks here crack easily from heat and age, while fibreglass tanks are tougher but their joints are always the weak point.
Anjafa sits in Hawalli governorate, a residential area with a mix of mid-sized flats and villas.
Anjafa's rooftop tanks sit very close together, and one leak can affect multiple homes in the same block.

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.
