Leak detection
Ramadan Drain CleaningWater tank leaks in Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh
Water tank leak detection in Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh starts when the level drops but you see no puddles outside or around the building. Jleeb is a dense residential zone of tightly packed apartment blocks and villas, each with a roof tank, and a leak there is hard to spot by eye.
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
Jleeb's apartment blocks mix older villas with modern flats, and tanks sit on roofs of varying heights. Some tanks connect to risers running down from the roof to ground level, and sometimes the leak is in the pipe itself, not the tank. We check the float valve first, then trace the outlet line from the tank, then inspect the pipes linking tank to pump.
Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh sits in Farwaniya governorate, a dense residential zone of apartment blocks, flats and older villas mixed with heavy public amenities.
Most tanks in Jleeb sit on flat exposed roofs with no shade, so outlet lines from the tank are exposed and easy to inspect.

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 Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh
The float valve controls water entry into the tank, and if broken it drains slowly with no external puddle. A tank body leak shows water from the tank shell itself or from pipe connections on it.
Yes, in many Jleeb cases the pipe is cracked or the joint is loose. We pressure-test the whole line and look for any seeping or moisture on the outside.
