Leak detection
Ramadan Drain CleaningWater tank leaks in Mubarak Al-Kabeer
Water tank leak detection in Mubarak Al-Kabeer starts by checking the float valve and overflow before suspecting the tank itself. Mubarak Al-Kabeer mixes villas and flats, and each house or unit has its own tank, some on the roof and others in the basement.
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
Mubarak Al-Kabeer contains mixed housing types, old villas, new villas and multi-storey apartment blocks. Roof tanks face sun and heat, while basement tanks sometimes sit close to sewage lines. When we check for leaks, we trace from tank to the first tap, and inspect the overflow, which typically runs from roof to ground floor. A slow leak may not show wet marks but the meter reveals it, so we focus on buried or hidden pipes.
Mubarak Al-Kabeer suburb is in Mubarak Al-Kabeer governorate, a mixed residential area near the Co-op and Messila Beach.
Roof tanks in Mubarak Al-Kabeer lose more water to summer evaporation, especially if they are old and lack thermal insulation.

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 Mubarak Al-Kabeer
The overflow might run due to high water pressure, or the float valve might not fully close the tank inlet. These faults are not obvious but waste water continuously.
We access open points and inspect pipes from tank to foundation, listening for running water sounds. If pipe is buried under concrete, we focus on the outlet pipes from the tank itself, plus the overflow and valve.
