Leak detection
Ramadan Drain CleaningWater tank leaks in Firdous
Water tank leak detection in Firdous starts by tracking the water level and what happens around the house. Firdous is a modern residential area near Sixth Ring Road, with a mix of apartments and villas among tall modern blocks. Water drops from the tank fast and you cannot tell where it is going.
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
Firdous houses have roof tanks mostly on top of tall blocks, and the main water riser drops from the roof through internal walls and reaches each flat. When there is a leak, it could be the tank itself, the pipes running down inside the wall, or the float valve on the tank. We check the valve and the overflow water first, and look at the outside walls for any discolouration or damp patches.
Firdous lies in Farwaniya governorate, a modern residential area with tall blocks and multi-storey flats near Sixth Ring Road.
Roof tanks in Firdous sit very high above the blocks, and the water riser passes through multiple flats with each flat having its own inlet valve.

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 Firdous
If the tank itself leaks, the roof gets wet on the outside and the water level drops quickly. If the riser pipe leaks, the wall next to it gets damp inside the building and you may see wet patches on the bedroom or sitting room wall.
The float valve may be broken and not shut off when the tank fills, or the overflow pipe may be releasing excess water due to pressure. We check the valve first and run the tank to see where the water is going.
