Underground tank leak detection in Dhahran: preventive periodic check
In short: Underground tank leak detection (preventive periodic check) in Dhahran starts with the documented tank level test, then the pressure test and line isolation, before anything is opened. The centre of Dhahran sits about 16 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data). Pricing starts from Inspection visit (SAR 150 per visit), and other items are quoted after the visit.
Why underground tank leak detection differs in Dhahran
Team note on Dhahran: Kashf teams serve this city and its nearby districts with the same documented inspection standard: device-based leak detection without demolition, a written report, and a clear scope before any work begins.. The centre of Dhahran sits about 16 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).
Dhahran is about 5.9 km from the sea coast (OpenStreetMap).
Preventive checks follow a written schedule instead of waiting for a fault.
Signs that call for underground tank leak detection
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
The most common causes
- A float valve that does not close, so water is wasted — we check this before anything else.
- Construction joints and corners — we check this before anything else.
- Cracks in the concrete tank walls or floor.
How we choose the tool in Dhahran
| Tool or method | What it measures | Why it is chosen here |
|---|---|---|
| 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 |
The steps in order
- 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.

Short answers for Dhahran
Where does underground tank leak detection (preventive periodic check) start in Dhahran?
We start with safety first (tank lids and confined spaces are handled with ventilation and a second person on site), then documented level test (filling and use are stopped and the level is recorded against time).
What does underground tank leak detection cost in Dhahran?
From our published price list: Inspection visit SAR 150 per visit; Tank internal coating (per m²) SAR 25–60 per m². Quantities are confirmed at the inspection.
What do I receive after the work?
The written level-test result and the recommended next step, in a technical report that carries a verification code.
What we advise against
- Waterproofing the tank before confirming the loss is from the tank and not the line
- Ignoring the float valve
The written outputs
The written output: the written level-test result and the recommended next step. The report is numbered and can be checked with its verification code.
