Leak detection
Ramadan Drain CleaningWater tank leaks in Wafra Agricultural
Water tank leak detection in Wafra Agricultural starts by reading the tank gauge without any water being used. Farm tanks and large poultry facility reservoirs lose water for different reasons, and a true wall leak is not the only thing that happens.
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
Wafra Agricultural contains large farms, poultry sheds and feed stores, and the tanks here are tall and heavy to meet irrigation, livestock and worker water needs. Pipes run long distances from the tank through exposed ground and heat, and the float valve and overflow pipe sit at tank level. Before we say there is a wall leak, we test the float valve and the overflow pipe, because most water loss comes from those.
Wafra Agricultural is a large farming sector in Ahmadi governorate with farms, poultry facilities and elevated tanks.
Farm tanks in Wafra need regular checks on floats and valves because hot water and salts damage metal and rubber seals.

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 Wafra Agricultural
A leak means water escapes from the tank wall or a fitting on the tank itself. Normal loss comes from a float valve not closing properly or an overflow running continuously. We test both before we say the tank is punctured.
Yes, long pipes under the sun and salt in the ground crack and puncture before the tank itself does. In Wafra the pipes run long distances, so we check the whole line by ear and sight before we empty the tank.
