Leak detection
Ramadan Drain CleaningWater tank leaks in Khalidiya
Water tank leak detection in Khalidiya is often needed for the larger flats that have one or two tanks on the roof. Khalidiya is a relatively modern residential area with mid-rise apartment blocks, tanks meet current standards but pipes can develop leaks over time.
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
Khalidiya has modern apartment blocks with better-maintained tanks than older houses, but inlet valves and pipes still need regular inspection. The tank usually sits on the roof and connects via copper or plastic pipes to each flat, with the float valve and below-line pipe runs being the most common leak spots. If the level drops with no usage, we start with the valve and exposed pipes before examining the tank body itself.
Khalidiya sits in Kuwait governorate, a modern residential area with mid-rise buildings and developed services.
Khalidiya buildings have unified drainage systems, and almost all tanks sit on the roofs at the same level.

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.
