Leak detection
Ramadan Drain CleaningWater tank leaks in Dhaher
Water tank leak detection in Dhaher starts by checking the float valve, the overflow outlet, and the pipes leaving the tank, not always the tank itself. Dhaher is in Ahmadi near the Saudi border, and houses there have both rooftop and ground tanks, and saltwater corrodes metal fast.
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
Most Dhaher houses are older villas with rooftop tanks mounted on corroded steel frames, and the ground tank usually sits under the yard or the side passage. Pipes from the rooftop tank run down the electrical column or inside the stack, and leaks from old gate valves or connections at the joint are common before suspecting the tank itself. We pressure-test the pipes and measure the water level over days to confirm whether the leak is in the tank or the line.
Dhaher sits in Ahmadi governorate, a remote area near the Saudi border with older villas and tanks exposed to rust.
Rooftop tanks in Dhaher mostly sit on steel frames past their life, and leaks usually come from the float valve or the pipe running down to the ground tank.

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 Dhaher
A tank leaks from the metal body or the weld seam, a pipe leaks from connections or pinhole cracks. We tell the difference by pressure test and measuring the level over time. Both cause water loss but from different spots.
A worn float does not close properly, so water overflows from the outlet or runs down the bypass pipe without you noticing. Sometimes, if the float jams open, the tank overflows and you see it right away.
