Leak detection
Ramadan Drain CleaningWater tank leaks in Taima
Water tank leak detection in Taima starts when a tank level drops despite no water being used. Taima is a residential area in Jahra suburbs, with most houses running roof tanks and some underground cisterns. Before we declare the tank itself is leaking, we check the float valve, the overflow line, and the pipes leaving the tank.
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
Taima houses have two tank types: roof tanks with exposed pipes running down from above, and underground cisterns with buried pipes in the foundation. Long pipes exposed to direct sun develop cracks from heat stress, and sometimes the overflow line is the culprit, not the tank itself. We pressure-test the pipes and check for dampness around the base of underground tanks before deciding on repair steps.
Taima sits in Jahra governorate, a residential area with a mix of roof-mounted and underground tank installations.
Roof tanks in Taima need regular checks because exposed pipes are directly affected by extreme heat.

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 Taima
Look at where the water is coming from. If water drips from the wide white overflow pipe that runs from the tank, it is the overflow line. If the tank itself has drops or dampness on it, that is a tank leak.
If the leak is tiny and we can pinpoint it, we can use specialised resin sealant. But if it is large or we cannot locate it precisely, we need controlled digging around the tank to access and repair the crack from outside.
