Leak detection
Ramadan Drain CleaningWater tank leaks in Qortuba
Water tank leak detection in Qortuba requires precision because the upscale villas have large tanks and complex pump systems. Qortuba is an upscale villa area in Kuwait governorate, most houses have a main tank and sometimes secondary tanks for drainage and hot water.
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
Qortuba villas are detached and each has a main tank in the basement or rooftop, with supply pipes feeding each floor and sometimes a second tank on the roof for hot water. Upscale villas also have hot-water tanks and complex lift systems requiring robust copper pipes. When a Qortuba tank loses water, the problem may be the overflow outlet, the float valve, or the expensive copper pipes leaking at their joints. We inspect the main tank, secondary tank, and all piping before we say what needs fixing.
Qortuba sits in Kuwait governorate, an upscale villa area with detached homes and modern designs.
Qortuba villas have multiple tanks of different types, and copper pipes need regular inspection because joints can develop issues.

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 Qortuba
Yes, if the villa has a secondary tank for hot water or pressure, a leak in it affects overall water. We inspect both together.
Copper lasts longer but the joint can weaken over time. We inspect each joint based on age and condition.
