Leak detection
Ramadan Drain CleaningWater tank leaks in Watiya
Water tank leak detection in Watiya starts when you notice the tank dropping fast with no one using water. Watiya is an older residential district near the old city walls, with rooftop tanks on houses and flats throughout the narrow streets, and aged pipes that often leak at the connections rather than in the tank itself.
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
Watiya has a mix of older houses and mid-rise flats, with tanks sitting directly on roofs or hung on external walls. A leak here might come from a rusty tank bottom, from welded pipe joints, or from a float valve that no longer seals properly. We go up to the roof, check if the leak is from the tank shell itself or from the outlet below the water line, because many people mistake any drop in level for a tank leak.
Watiya is a residential area in Kuwait governorate near the old city walls, with a mix of older and newer houses and apartment blocks.
Most tanks in Watiya are mounted on house roofs rather than on ground foundations, so checking requires roof access and care around tangled pipe runs.

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 Watiya
Usually the float valve is worn and does not seal properly, so water drains constantly but the drop is more noticeable at night. We check the float first and watch the valve open and close to confirm it seats tight.
The pipe below the water line may be cracked or the seal at the joint has failed. We cut back the pipe, reseal the joint properly, and replace the section if part of it is split.
