Leak detection
Ramadan Drain CleaningWater tank leaks in Rehab
Water tank leak detection in Rehab starts by hearing dripping or noticing strange damp in the ceiling, because houses here have false ceilings and tanks are sometimes inside walls. Rehab is a modern family residential area in Farwaniya with architectural villas in complex designs. The leak can be completely hidden between walls and ceilings.
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
Rehab villas are modern with contemporary design, and tanks may be on the roof or in a dedicated room, with pipes running through false ceilings or inside insulated walls. If there is a leak, water can collect between the wall and insulation and hide easily. We use a torch and manual inspection to find damp, and check the flooring and false ceiling from outside.
Rehab lies in Farwaniya governorate, a modern family residential area with villas featuring contemporary and advanced architectural designs.
Rehab villas have excellent thermal insulation and pipes are hidden inside walls, so a leak does not show until much later when moisture seeps through the foundation.

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 Rehab
If you see a faint colour change in the plasterboard or ceiling that only shows under light, and there is a slight musty smell, there is a leak. You may hear water dripping without seeing a drop on the floor.
Yes, water seeps through the insulation and reaches the base concrete, and moisture weakens the metal and wood in it. The leak must be treated fast before major damage happens.
