Leak detection
Ramadan Drain CleaningWater tank leaks in Uyoun
Water tank leak detection in Uyoun starts with what you see on the meter or bill, but before you say the tank is leaking we check the inlet valve, float valve and overflow line. Uyoun is an older residential area at the foot of a slope, and tanks here sit high on roofs, so a leak shows clearly in the yard or passage.
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
Most Uyoun houses are older villas and over time brass fittings and joints corrode, and if the overflow gets blocked or clogged it puts pressure on the whole tank. We check first the pipe leaving the tank below the water line because that is the most common leak point. Old tanks here have minor seepage through the body but usually not worth repair, real leaks come from the overflow or the hot-fill valve not seating right.
Uyoun sits in Jahra governorate, an older residential area known for its location near Ahmadi ridge.
Most Uyoun tanks are open-top or without a proper neck and cap, so the overflow becomes a weak point in winter.

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 Uyoun
Because a small leak grows in winter and your bill climbs. We check and tell you if repair is worth it, but first we need to know where the water is actually leaving the tank.
Most leaks exit through the submerged outlet pipe or the overflow running to a dry yard. We lift the cover and look for dripping or slow seepage you miss from ground level.
