Leak detection
Ramadan Drain CleaningWater tank leaks in Rawda
Water tank leak detection in Rawda starts when you notice the tank level dropping faster than it should, but not every loss means the tank itself is leaking. It could be the float valve not shutting, the overflow running, or a submerged pipe that is damaged.
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
Rawda is a quiet residential area with independent villas and apartment blocks, with tank types varying by property. Many villas have roof tanks, and older flats sometimes have tanks in a similar roof space. The pipes running down from the tank differ in length, and a leak in a submerged pipe may not show if the pipe is embedded in the wall. When we check, we inspect the float valve, overflow, and joints closely, especially on older fittings.
Rawda sits in Kuwait governorate, a mixed residential area near Rawda Park and Rawda Co-op.
Pipes buried in Rawda walls make leaks harder to spot from outside, but the tank level tells us quickly if water is being lost.

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 Rawda
The leak might be in a submerged pipe, with water escaping inside the wall or into the foundation. Without seeing water outside, we cannot say it is the tank wall, but a leaking pipe can be hidden below ground.
Yes, old float valves lose sensitivity and start to stick, so they do not shut properly and water escapes through the overflow. We replace the float valve easily and the problem stops.
