Leak detection
Ramadan Drain CleaningWater tank leaks in Salhiya
Tank leak detection in Salhiya near the hotel and commercial complex often concerns flats, hotel facilities and commercial spaces. Water dropping in the tank can be due to a float valve that won't close, a pipe below the surface with a hole or an overflow that is not working right.
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
Salhiya has tall residential blocks, a hotel, and mixed commercial and residential spaces, and tanks sit on very high roofs or in basement rooms. High tanks face harsh temperatures, especially in summer, affecting seals and copper and plastic pipes. We start with a visual check of the tank inside and out, test the float by hand, and ensure water flows properly through the overflow and outlet pipes.
Salhiya is in Kuwait governorate, a residential and commercial area with a hotel, shopping complex and tall towers.
Hotel and commercial building tanks in Salhiya need high water pressure, so their pipes and valves are affected faster.

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 Salhiya
Underground tanks are not scorched by the sun, but humidity and darkness can cause problems with valves and pipes. We check them the same way but look harder for rust and sediment.
The overflow can be clogged with dirt and sediment or bent at the wrong angle. Sometimes the pipe connected to it is also blocked. We test it by pouring water and clean it if needed.
