Ramadan Drain CleaningWater pipe leaks and runs in Hassawi
Water pipe leaks in Hassawi often start with a rising meter reading with no clear cause or dampness in the foundation. Hassawi is a residential Farwaniya area, mostly flats in medium-rise blocks built in the Eighties and early Nineties.
Leak signs
How a hiddenleak shows up.
A buried leak sends its news by indirect routes.
01
The meter turns with nothing on
Close every tap and watch the meter. If it keeps moving, water is going somewhere you cannot see, and that is the clearest proof of a buried leak long before any damp appears.
02
A warm patch on the floor
If one area of floor feels warmer than the tiles around it, the leak is on the hot line rather than the cold one. That single sign tells us which run to follow before anything is opened.
03
Paint bubbling low on a wall
Damp climbs a wall from the bottom, so paint bubbling or flaking near the skirting is usually a leak inside the wall or under the floor beside it, not a paint problem.
04
Pressure dropped in one area
If pressure falls in one bathroom or one wing while the rest of the house is normal, the fault is on the branch feeding that side, and sometimes it is a leak drawing off the run before it arrives.
This area
What setsthis area apart
Blocks here are four to six storeys, with copper and galvanized pipes running in the walls and in risers inside the structure. Leaks in the foundation or ground floor come from pipes under the most pressure, and water may flow into a basement or toward the street unseen. We trace from the main entry and inspect the ground floor to understand how water travels under the slab and test pressure on each branch.
Hassawi lies in Farwaniya governorate with medium-rise residential blocks built in the Eighties and Nineties.
Pipe leaks in the foundations of Hassawi blocks are hard to spot visually because soil under the building absorbs water quickly.

The order
From the patch tothe new run.
Nothing is opened until we know exactly where to open it.
We isolate and read the meter
Runs are closed branch by branch while the meter is watched. That narrows the leak down to one part of the house instead of searching everywhere.
We pinpoint the spot
Inside that section the leak is pinpointed before anything is broken, because opening the right spot costs far less than opening a whole run on a guess.
We open and replace
We open at the point, cut out the failed length and fit a new joint. If the run itself is tired we offer a replacement route instead of patching it again and again.
We test before closing up
The run stays open and under pressure while we watch it, because finding a weep after it is covered means opening the same place all over again.

Water may travel under the slab or into an external wall or into the flat below, unnoticed. We test pressure and measure flow to pinpoint exactly which line has the problem.
Yes, copper and galvanized joints loosen after thirty years and weep. Sometimes we can tighten the connection, sometimes we need to replace the whole section.
