Signs that call for buried line leaks
The following signs are worth checking before they grow:
- Sinking interlock paving
- A permanently green or muddy patch in the yard

Causes we see in the field
- The supply line from the meter to the tank.
- A broken irrigation line.
- A joint under the interlock paving — we check this before anything else.
How we choose the tool in Dhahran
| Tool or method | What it measures | Why it is chosen here |
|---|---|---|
| Ground microphone and contact listening | The sound of water escaping under pressure in walls and floors | Limits: weaker with background noise and deep lines |
| Tracer gas (safe hydrogen–nitrogen mix) | Leaks in buried or silent lines | Limits: the line must be drained and filled with gas |
| Pressure test and line isolation | Which line (hot/cold, floor by floor) loses pressure | Limits: needs working valves to isolate lines |
How the work is done, step by step
- Isolating the line: The buried section is separated from the house network.
- Pressure test: The line is checked for pressure loss.
- Tracer gas: A safe hydrogen–nitrogen mix escapes at the leak and is detected at the surface.
- Recommendation: The proposed excavation point and its size.
