Leak detection
Ramadan Drain CleaningWater tank leaks in Qasr
Water tank leak detection in Qasr starts with noticing unexpected water level drop even when the float valve is closed. Qasr is a medium-size residential district in Jahra with villas featuring rooftop and yard tanks, and apartment blocks with shared tanks, where pipes run differently depending on whether the building is old or new.
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
Qasr villas range from old to new, with rooftop tanks having overflow pipes that drop from the roof, and older pipes mounted directly on walls. Newer villas have buried pipes under interlock yard surfaces. Float valve leaks appear slowly on the roof or wall, but underground pipe leaks may only show as wet patches on the interlock if pressure is high.
Qasr is a residential district in Jahra governorate with a mix of old and new villas and apartment buildings with varied tank types.
Qasr villas have overflow pipes routed different ways, some on the wall directly and some buried under interlock, requiring thorough inspection.

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 Qasr
If you see wet patches on the interlock or dampness in the yard without watering, it could be an underground leak. We need to trace the pipe from start to finish at the drain.
No, older villas have pipes directly on the outer wall, while newer ones may have them buried. The float valve and tank may differ in size and location, but each requires its own inspection approach.
