Leak detection
Ramadan Drain CleaningWater tank leaks in NW Sulaibikhat
Water tank leak detection in NW Sulaibikhat begins when you notice the tank level dropping without anyone using water. NW Sulaibikhat is a newer residential area with mixed houses and apartment blocks, and tanks sit high on roofs or in tight spaces between buildings.
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
In NW Sulaibikhat new villas and upper-floor flats all have roof-mounted tanks, and plastic pipes run down from the tank to ground level. We first inspect the tank itself on all sides and the bottom to spot weeping, then trace the pipes running down from the tank to the ground floor. The float valve inside the tank can fail, as the company notes, so we check it after ruling out a leak in the tank body itself.
NW Sulaibikhat sits in Kuwait governorate, a newer residential area with villas and apartment buildings.
Roof tanks in NW Sulaibikhat are mostly red or blue plastic, exposed directly to summer sun.

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 NW Sulaibikhat
A tank leak shows water coming from the tank body itself, visible on the outer walls. A pipe leak occurs on the line between the tank and ground floor and may not be obvious if the line runs inside walls.
In newer houses and flats in NW Sulaibikhat, the float valve or pipe connection may not have been fitted correctly. We check the valve first, then tighten the connections at the tank and base.
