Leak detection
Ramadan Drain CleaningWater tank leaks in Faiha
Water tank leak detection in Faiha starts with the obvious sign: the level drops faster than normal. Faiha is a quiet residential suburb with a mix of small apartments and villas, most with roof tanks or yard tanks, and a leak can come from the tank itself or from the pipes feeding it.
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
Faiha has varied tanks, some older models and some newer, each in a different location. If the tank sits on a roof near the edge it is easy to inspect, but if it is in a yard or above a plant room we check the pipe runs and connections carefully. Many owners think the tank leaks when it is actually the feed lines or the overflow itself that is not sealing properly.
Faiha is in Kuwait governorate, a quiet residential zone with small flats and villas with tanks at various heights.
Most Faiha tanks are insulated as standard, but the feed pipes are not and can be affected by high ambient temperature.

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 Faiha
The pipes leaving the tank may run inside the ceiling or wall, and if they leak the water runs inside the structure itself. We trace water pressure along the full pipe run before we inspect the tank body.
Yes, very often the overflow is not sealed properly or the float valve on the overflow is stuck, letting water escape. We check it first before we say your tank is leaking.
