Leak detection
Ramadan Drain CleaningWater tank leaks in Mesila
Water tank leak detection in Mesila starts by checking the tank level over several days. Mesila is a coastal area near Green Island, and tanks here sit either on roofs or at ground level, so a small leak shows up fast as dampness on the ceiling or floor.
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
Most Mesila houses and flats are older and their tanks are not well insulated from the heat. If the tank sits on the roof, the sun heats it and cracks appear at the body or at pipe joints. If it is buried under the floor between units, it is hard to spot, but damp walls and floors point to its location. We check the float valve and the overflow pipe before we say the tank body itself is leaking.
Mesila sits in Mubarak Al-Kabeer governorate, a coastal area near Mesila Beach Hotel and the Green Island zone.
Roof tanks in Mesila leak through cracks more than at joints, because coastal heat and salt weaken the tank body.

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 Mesila
We stop the float by hand so no more water enters the tank, then we check the level after several hours. If it drops and no one is using water, the leak is in the tank body or the pipes leaving it.
Yes, but it is harder because it is hidden. We ask about dampness in walls and floors and check for any drain or seepage near the tank. If we confirm a leak, we ask the owner to empty it so we can see the tank body from outside.
