Leak detection
Ramadan Drain CleaningWater tank leaks in Saad Al-Abdullah City
Water tank leak detection in Saad Al-Abdullah City starts by reading the meter and tracking the tank level over two days. Saad Al-Abdullah is a modern planned residential city where tanks sit on roofs and in ground vaults, and pipes run through partition walls and thick concrete floors.
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
Saad Al-Abdullah apartment blocks are relatively new, and each block has a rooftop tank with rising pipes from the ground floor. The orderly layout means tanks are consistently positioned, but plastic and metal pipes run through partition walls and slabs, and a leak may not show until it reaches the drainage or dampens the adjacent wall. We check the float valve first, monitor the water level, and trace the rising pipes from the meter chamber up to the roof.
Saad Al-Abdullah City is in Jahra governorate, a modern planned residential city with multi-storey apartment blocks and standardised rooftop tanks.
Tanks in Saad Al-Abdullah City are elevated on building roofs, with water supplied by electric pumps connected to the ground-floor meter chamber.

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 Saad Al-Abdullah City
Yes, a leak in the ground tank shows quickly in the surrounding floor or walls. A rooftop tank leak can travel down the rising and falling pipes before anything appears, so we check both using different methods.
The float valve might be faulty, letting water escape through the overflow, or the drain line from the tank may be open without a proper shut-off. We check the valve first and any pipes leaving the tank from the base or sides.
