Leak detection
Ramadan Drain CleaningWater tank leaks in Zahraa
Water tank leak detection in Zahraa focuses on checking the tank, valve, strainer, and pipes, because Zahraa is a quiet residential area with mixed flats and villas. Tanks here face direct sun and intense summer heat, causing the tank walls and fittings to expand and contract, leading to hairline cracks you may not spot easily.
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
Zahraa has standalone villas and residential flats, with most tanks on the roof and some in the basement. The drop pipes from the tank are long and pass through several floors, with many joints between them and high pressure on them, especially if the tank sits high and flats are deep below. We check the float valve first, then inspect the strainer and pipes one by one from the tank to the last outlet in the house. If the level drops with no appliances running and no one using water, the problem is either in the tank itself or in buried supply lines we can only test under pressure.
Zahraa sits in Hawalli governorate, a quiet residential area with varied villas and flats.
Zahraa's tanks face direct heat and sun, causing walls and fittings to expand and contract repeatedly over time.

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.
