Leak detection
Ramadan Drain CleaningWater tank leaks in Khitan
Water tank leak detection in Khitan requires climbing the roof and inspecting the tank cover and inner walls carefully. Khitan is a medium-density residential area near Khitan Co-op, with flats and small villas whose tanks often go unmonitored for years.
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
Khitan has a mix of small apartment blocks and adjoining villas, and their tanks sit directly on the roof without shelter from air and dust. A leak shows clearly on the outer wall or the ceiling of the flat below, and sometimes hides in the gap between the tank and the outer wall. We check the tank from all sides, look for hairline cracks, the rising and falling pipes, and the overflow and vent connections.
Khitan is in Farwaniya governorate, a residential area near Khitan Co-op and Farwaniya Hospital.
Khitan tanks have no insulated covers, so leaks show quickly on the building's inner and outer walls.

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 Khitan
Damp patches on your ceiling are the first sign, and you might hear a faint water sound if the leak is real. We send a technician to check your ceiling and walls from outside and inside.
If the leak is from the flange or pipes, we fix it cheaply. If it is from the tank body itself, replacement is faster and more durable than temporary patching.
