Signs worth paying attention to
The following signs are worth checking before they grow:
- A noticeable drop in the water level overnight
- The pump runs for longer periods
- The tank needs refilling faster than usual
- Damp or salt marks on the tiles above the tank
Causes we see in the field
- A float valve that does not close, so water is wasted.
- Construction joints and corners.
- Cracks in the concrete tank walls or floor.
Tools we use in Dhahran
| Tool | What it finds | When we use it in Dhahran |
|---|---|---|
| Documented tank level test | Level drop in numbers against time | Limits: filling and use must stop for a while |
| Pressure test and line isolation | Which line (hot/cold, floor by floor) loses pressure | Limits: needs working valves to isolate lines |
| Moisture meter | How far the wet area spreads behind paint and tiles | Limits: measures the effect, not the source |
| Ground microphone and contact listening | The sound of water escaping under pressure in walls and floors | Limits: weaker with background noise and deep lines |
How the work is done, step by step
- Safety first: Tank lids and confined spaces are handled with ventilation and a second person on site.
- Documented level test: Filling and use are stopped and the level is recorded against time.
- Isolating the tank from the network: This tells us whether the loss is from the tank body or from the supply line.
- Checking the body and connections: Inlet, outlet and overflow connections are inspected.
- Recommendation: You get the next step in writing: repair, waterproofing or a line test.
