Leak detection
Ramadan Drain CleaningWater tank leaks in Jabriya
Water tank leak detection in Jabriya covers flat tanks and villa tanks in a mixed area, including ground tanks beneath floor drains. Jabriya is a diverse residential district with older blocks and newer villas, and tanks sit in different locations needing separate checks for each type.
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
Jabriya has a mix of old and new construction, and ground-level tanks below floor slabs are common in older blocks there. These buried tanks are hard to reach, and water might leak from them or from the hidden pipes around them. We fill the tank and search for dampness in the flat, checking the floors under drains and sinks. Newer Jabriya villas have roof or courtyard tanks, so the inspection method is completely different.
Jabriya sits in Hawalli governorate, a mixed residential area with blocks and villas near Mubarak Hospital.
Ground tanks in old Jabriya sit under thick concrete slabs, so leaks from them only show up after a long time due to moisture absorption in the layers.

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 Jabriya
It could be the tank, but more likely the broken pipes under the floor or leaking tap and bidet connections. We check the bathroom floor first, and if the problem is deep, we ask your upstairs and downstairs neighbours if they have the same issue.
The float valve might not work right, or there is a small hole in the tank body you cannot see. We fill it completely and watch the level carefully, checking the float valve thoroughly before we say the tank is cracked.
