Leak detection
Ramadan Drain CleaningWater tank leaks in Hassawi
Water tank leak detection in Hassawi focuses on distinguishing between tank leaks, pipe leaks, and float valve failure. Hassawi is a mixed residential area in Farwaniya with older and newer homes, each with different tank sizes and positions.
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
Hassawi homes are two types, older homes with small metal tanks on the roof and rusty copper pipes, and newer homes with large concrete tanks and new metal pipes. Old tanks can have holes in the walls or floor, and old pipes rust from inside causing slow water loss over years. New pipes leak at joints or pinhole cracks. In all cases we isolate the float valve and track the loss alone.
Hassawi sits in Farwaniya governorate, a mixed residential area of older and newer homes with varied tank sizes and types.
Older Hassawi homes mostly have copper or galvanized steel pipes from the 1960s and 1970s, and those pipes have heavy internal scaling.

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 Hassawi
Yes, a rusty tank from outside might have no hole, and the leak could be the internal pipes or the overflow valve. We need to shut off the float valve and see if the loss stops.
The test is exactly the same. We cut off the float valve from incoming water and watch the tank level for an hour or two. If it drops, there is a leak in the tank or pipes, whether old or new.
