Leak detection
Ramadan Drain CleaningWater tank leaks in Khiran
Water tank leak detection at Khiran addresses residential and hotel water systems at a popular seaside resort. Khiran has villas, tourist chalets and a hotel, and tanks feed swimming pools, residential facilities and hotel operations.
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
Khiran's chalets and villas on the coast face high humidity and salt air that damage metal tanks and pipes. Resorts and hotels have main storage tanks and separate pool tanks, each with its own float system and overflow. Pool water has a planned daily consumption, so an unexpected drop signals a tank leak or underground pipes between the tank and the pool or facilities.
Khiran is in Ahmadi governorate, a seaside resort with villas, tourist chalets and swimming facilities.
Khiran tanks are near the shore, and metal pipes there face direct salt spray and sea wind exposure.

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 Khiran
If the leak is slow, we supply a water tanker to replace daily losses while we work on the tank or pipes. If the leak is large, we must drain the pool partially or stop it for quick repairs. We identify the cause first because the difference between a float valve and underground pipes matters.
Salt and moisture cause rust in walls and floors, and small holes start from inside and outside. Old metal pipes oxidize fast, and joints weaken. We inspect the tank inside and out and determine if the leak is from the wall, the pipes or a broken float valve.
