Leak detection
Ramadan Drain CleaningWater tank leaks in Daiya
Water tank leak detection in Daiya starts with what you notice: the tank level drops faster than normal, but before we say the tank itself is leaking, we check the float valve, the overflow pipe, and any line that sits below the water line.
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
Daiya has newer villas and apartment blocks, and tank locations vary by property type. Villas typically have roof tanks, while many flats have tanks in the stair well or a dedicated basement room. When we check, we inspect the pipe joints and the float valve, and watch whether the overflow drains normally or water is coming out of it. A leak in a submerged line is easiest to spot on villas because the tank sits on the roof and pipes run down from there into the flat.
Daiya sits in Kuwait governorate, a mixed residential area with newer villas and multi-storey apartment blocks.
Villa tanks in Daiya sit higher than flat tanks, so submerged pipes in villas are longer and easier to check.

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 Daiya
Not necessarily. The float valve might be stuck open, so water drains through the overflow instead of shutting off inside the tank. We check the float first before we blame the tank.
Yes, we go to the room and inspect the tank and all pipes entering and leaving it. Basements are more humid, so even a small leak shows up faster on the walls and floor.
