Ramadan Drain CleaningWater pipe leaks and runs in Sharq
Pipe leaks in Sharq can hide under marble or tile floors in a flat, and you spot them weeks later as a small damp patch. Sharq has tall towers, some very old, with original pipework that may be thirty years or more in the ground.
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
Sharq's towers stand close together, with risers running tight through walls and ceilings, especially in lower storeys. If the leak sits between your flat and the ceiling, we may need to check the flat above as well. The few villas scattered through Sharq have horizontal lines in the garden under interlock, so a leak there may start as gradual seeping under rugs or tiles.
Sharq sits in Kuwait governorate and contains tall residential towers and a few older villas.
Shared pipes between flats in Sharq towers usually leak from the joints, not the pipe itself.

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.
Common questions
Questions about Water pipe leaks and runs in Sharq
Not always. We inspect first to locate where the water is coming from. It could be from a pipe on the roof or from a flat above you. If the pipe is hidden in concrete, we might need to break a small section, but we'll confirm before we start.
Usually an hour or less to inspect visible pipes, the meter and the walls. If the leak is hidden under tiles, it may take longer or we may ask to come back later when the damp shows more clearly.
