Leak detection
Ramadan Drain CleaningWater tank leaks in Jahra (New)
Water tank leak detection in Jahra New usually starts when a homeowner notices a spike in the bill or the tank fills slowly. Jahra New has newer flats and villas, and rooftop tanks are typically recent, but plastic pipes can crack or seep from the heat.
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
Flats in Jahra New near Jahra Mall and Jahra Hospital have shared rooftop tanks, and each unit has a water meter in the kitchen to track use. Newer villas have lower rooftop tanks, and pipes to the ground tank run across open yards, so heat and sun degrade plastic fast. We open the tank, inspect the cover, the overflow outlet, and the pipe connection, and add dye to the water to spot whether the leak is in the body or the valve.
Jahra New sits in Jahra governorate, a modern built-up area with apartment blocks and villas with plastic tanks and heat-exposed pipes.
Plastic pipes in Jahra New crack from heat and UV rays, especially when there is no shade over the roof or yard.

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.
