Underground tank leak detection in Dhahran: emergency
In short: In Dhahran (Dhahran), underground tank leak detection (emergency) begins with the documented tank level test and the pressure test and line isolation; nothing is opened until the position is clear. 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).
If water is flowing, close the main valve first, then call or message with photos.
When do you need 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
Where the problem usually comes from
- A float valve that does not close, so water is wasted — we check this before anything else.
- A common cause: construction joints and corners.
- A common cause: 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.

Common questions about underground tank leak detection in Dhahran
What is the first step of underground tank leak detection (emergency)?
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).
How much 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 get at the end?
The written level-test result and the recommended next step, in a technical report that carries a verification code.
Common mistakes we see
- 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.

- You can message us on WhatsApp in English; the booking details are sent back to you in the chat to confirm before the visit.
- The Saudi weekend is Friday and Saturday; mention your preferred day and time when booking.
