Leak detection
Ramadan Drain CleaningWater tank leaks in Hadiya
Water tank leak detection in Hadiya starts by measuring the tank level over several days to confirm there is actually a leak and not just a faulty float valve. Hadiya is a mixed residential area of villas and older blocks, with tanks fixed on roofs or in the yard.
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
Hadiya's villas and blocks were built over different periods, and tanks sit either on the roof or on a steel frame in the yard. When the tank is high, the downlines from tank to roof and flats run inside walls, so any leak there shows up as damp patches in corners or ceiling stains. The tank's own inspection point sits near the roof hatch or yard cover, sometimes at the stairwell entrance.
Hadiya lies in Ahmadi governorate, a mixed residential area of villas and older blocks with tanks on roofs or in yards.
Hadiya tanks sit in shade from surrounding buildings, so surface moisture and algae growth are less common than in open areas.

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 Hadiya
When the float valve fails, water flows continuously out of the overflow pipe at the top. A leak in the tank body itself runs behind walls or underground, so the level drops slowly and you don't see water flowing visibly.
We first isolate the power, then open the overflow and inlet to trace where water is coming from and whether it flows from the line or from inside the tank itself, then monitor the level daily.
