Ramadan Drain CleaningWater heaters in Ahmadi

Heater or plumbing
When the fault isthe heater.
Before you call, these signs tell you whether the fault sits in the heater itself or out in the pipework.
01
Cold at every tap
If the hot water goes at all the bathrooms and the kitchen together, one thing feeds them all and that is the central heater. One cold bathroom with the rest still hot is a mixer or a branch, not the cylinder.
02
The breaker keeps tripping
A breaker that drops every time the heater switches on is not a house wiring fault. The element sheath has failed and is letting current into the water, so the answer is a new element, not pushing the switch back up.
03
It runs out early
The cylinder gives less hot water than it used to before it turns cold. Scale settles out of Kuwaiti water and builds on the tank floor, taking up volume inside it, so the usable draw is smaller than the tank was built for.
04
Water under the heater
Water on the floor under a heater is either a pipe joint or the body of the cylinder itself. A joint is remade. A weep from the tank body means the steel has gone through and the heater is replaced, not repaired.
This area
What setsthis area apart
Ahmadi has very old buildings and heaters need frequent repairs and the anode is heavily corroded. Old blocks may have heaters thirty years old or more, and hot water pipes have started to leak and decay. The technician inspects the heater base, pipes and valves, and may recommend replacing the entire heater if rust has entered the internal walls. Newer villas in Ahmadi have better heaters but need proper regular servicing.
Ahmadi sits in Ahmadi governorate, a historic older district with buildings from the oil company era and established families.
Most heaters in older Ahmadi blocks were installed before the eighties, and their sacrificial anodes are heavily corroded.

The method
From the call tohot water.
The same order on any heater, whether the job turns out to be a repair, a flush or a new fit.
You describe it on the call
Tell us whether the heater is stone cold or just weak, when it changed, and whether the breaker drops. Those three answers decide between an element, a thermostat and a flush.
We isolate power and water
The heater breaker goes off and the cold feed valve is closed before anything is opened. No cover comes off a live element and no thermostat is touched while the cylinder is under pressure.
We test before we swap
We read the element and thermostat terminals and look at the state of the tank inside, then tell you exactly what has failed before any part is changed.
We refill, vent and test
The cylinder is filled and the air bled off at the highest hot tap before the power goes back on, then we run a hot tap in front of you and watch it hold its temperature.
Common questions
Questions about Water heaters in Ahmadi
If the leak is from the pipes or valves, we try to fix them. But if the leak is from the heater body itself, the tank is corroded inside and it is better to replace it with a new one.
Not necessarily. We check the anode, valves and pipes first. If the heater has no severe rust and heats properly, we service it and get it running for more years.
