Leak detection
Ramadan Drain CleaningWater tank leaks in Qosor
Water tank leak detection in Qosor starts with damp patches on ceilings or walls appearing for no clear reason. Qosor lies in southern Mubarak Al-Kabeer with tall apartment blocks and villas, and tanks vary in shape, depth, and location across roofs and mid-levels.
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
Tall Qosor buildings have tanks high on roofs serving several units, so a small leak seeps down through ceilings gradually to the flats below. Qosor villas are smaller and their tanks sit directly on the roof where they are easy to reach, but a leak shows up fast because the water is not insulated. We check the large pipes leaving the tank and the float chamber first before we say the tank body itself is leaking.
Qosor sits in Mubarak Al-Kabeer governorate, a southern area with multi-storey apartment blocks and villas of various sizes.
Very high tanks in Qosor experience water pressure drop to upper flats, making slow leaks hard to spot for weeks.

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 Qosor
We ask residents to tell us if flats below the tank show dampness, then we open the cleaning hatch and look inside with a torch. If we find a leak in the body, we tell you and explain the fix.
Most cases come from fittings and pipes, especially if the tank is old plastic with decades-old connections. But old plastic can develop fine cracks from direct sunlight. We disconnect the pipes first and tell you if the problem is external or in the tank body itself.
