Leak detection
Ramadan Drain CleaningWater tank leaks in Dajeej
Tank leak detection in Dajeej begins when the water level drops faster than normal with no visible wet spots under the tank or around the house. Dajeej is a fringe residential zone of scattered villas with roofs of varying widths and heights, and open surrounding areas that make inspection straightforward.
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
Dajeej villas are a mix of old and new builds, and tanks sit on wide roofs because the houses themselves are spacious. Pipes between tank and interior are fairly long, sometimes running exposed on roof and sometimes buried in the house. The mechanical float valve in older Dajeej villas often jams and needs cleaning or replacing more than in new builds.
Dajeej sits in Farwaniya governorate, a fringe residential zone of scattered villas with open space around the tanks.
Dajeej tanks usually connect to interior risers, and a riser leak may show as water dripping from an upper floor to a lower one inside the house.

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 Dajeej
The float might be stuck and fill the tank to the overflow outlet which drains it outside the tank, or the leak might be inside the house in risers or internal pipes.
A tank-base leak shows as dampness or wet spots on the roof or ceiling. A riser leak shows inside the house itself, as a damp wall or water dripping from ceiling into the room below.
