Leak detection
Ramadan Drain CleaningWater tank leaks in Shuaiba Industrial
Water tank leak detection in Shuaiba Industrial starts with noticing a tank level drop that does not match actual use. Shuaiba is a heavy industrial zone with factories, plants and pipe runs, and tanks sit on roofs and ground at sizes scaled to production and cooling demand.
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
Factories and plants in Shuaiba run complex water systems, and their tanks feed production lines, boilers and closed loops. When we check for a leak, we look at the fittings first: the float valve may be broken, the overflow may be discharging because of overpressure, and pipes leaving the tank below the water line leak easily. We trace the line from the tank to the point of use and check connections between tanks if there is more than one on site.
Shuaiba Industrial is in Ahmadi governorate, a zone of plants and pipe runs near the KIPIC petrochemical complex.
Shuaiba factory tanks sit on high roofs and concrete pads at ground level, and the connecting pipes are exposed to vibration from adjacent machinery.

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 Shuaiba Industrial
A tank itself leaking raises the water level outside the floor or below. A broken float valve discharges through the overflow at the same time without the internal level dropping. We see both by inspecting the chamber and all pipes closely.
We inspect the tank and its fittings while they operate, watching the level and tracking where water goes. If we need to shut the pump for detailed checks, we coordinate with you so the timing does not hit your main line.
