Leak detection
Ramadan Drain CleaningWater tank leaks in Funaitees
Water tank leak detection in Funaitees begins by understanding the area has a mix of very old villas and newer blocks with varied tank sizes and types. Measuring level over days tells you if there is a real leak or just a float valve fault.
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
Funaitees is an older residential area, with original villas having small old tanks on low roofs or in yards, while newer blocks built recently have large tanks on high roofs. Old villa pipes are rusted and weak, and any water loss raises suspicion of the tank or pipes. New blocks have protected tanks and new PVC pipes, but old building foundations below can press on the lines and cause leaks.
Funaitees lies in Mubarak Al-Kabeer governorate, a mixed residential area of old villas and newer blocks with varied tank types.
Old villa pipes in Funaitees are mostly rusted metal, while new blocks have fresh plastic, so pipe quality varies from street to street.

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 Funaitees
Very likely, because old tanks crack from heat and age and old pipes rust out. We start by inspecting the tank, risers, and every single joint.
Sometimes the valve doesn't seal properly inside even though it looks intact, or dust and rust in the valve body prevents tight closure. We open and clean the valve or replace it if damaged.
