Leak detection
Ramadan Drain CleaningWater tank leaks in Bnaidar
Water tank leak detection in Bnaidar starts when a water bill rises without higher consumption. Bnaidar is a newer residential area in southern Ahmadi with independent villa tanks and apartment blocks with shared tanks. We inspect the tank, float valve, overflow, and all pipes before we start repair work.
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
Bnaidar has newer villas with stainless steel roof tanks and modern overflow systems, and apartment blocks with older cement cisterns buried underground. New villa tanks rarely leak internally, but the float valve may fail or the overflow may clog, giving false readings. Flats need regular checks because underground tanks face pressure from groundwater and foundation cracks around the tank. We install a flow meter on the overflow and monitor tank levels over two days before declaring an actual problem.
Bnaidar sits in southern Ahmadi, a newer residential area with various tank types installed on villas and apartment buildings.
Underground tanks in Bnaidar face groundwater pressure, especially during the winter season.

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 Bnaidar
Factory defects in new tanks are rare. Before we call it a defect, we inspect the overflow, float valve, and inlet pipes, because small leaks usually come from these parts. If we confirm the tank itself has a crack, we claim replacement from the seller.
We isolate your flat's valve and shut off water for an hour, then watch the common line overflow from outside. If it starts dripping or water flows, the leak is in the shared line. If nothing happens, the loss might be in your tank.
