Underground tank leak detection for duplexes in Duba
In short: Underground tank leak detection for duplexes in Duba starts with the documented tank level test, then the pressure test and line isolation, before anything is opened. Duba is about 0.2 km from the sea coast (OpenStreetMap). Published price: Inspection visit, SAR 150 per visit; anything else is quoted after the inspection.
Why underground tank leak detection differs in Duba
Team note on Duba: 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.. Duba is about 0.2 km from the sea coast (OpenStreetMap).
The centre of Duba sits about 10 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).
In a duplex, the two floors often share lines, so tests are done floor by floor.
When do you need underground tank leak detection?
If you notice one of these signs in Duba, it is a good moment to talk to the team:
- The pump runs for longer periods
- A noticeable drop in the water level overnight
- Damp or salt marks on the tiles above the tank
- The tank needs refilling faster than usual
Causes we see in the field
- A float valve that does not close, so water is wasted.
- A common cause: cracks in the concrete tank walls or floor.
- A common cause: construction joints and corners.
Tools and methods, and when we use them
| Tool or method | What it measures | Why it is chosen here |
|---|---|---|
| Pressure test and line isolation | Which line (hot/cold, floor by floor) loses pressure | Limits: needs working valves to isolate lines |
| Documented tank level test | Level drop in numbers against time | Limits: filling and use must stop for a while |
| Ground microphone and contact listening | The sound of water escaping under pressure in walls and floors | Limits: weaker with background noise and deep lines |
| Moisture meter | How far the wet area spreads behind paint and tiles | Limits: measures the effect, not the source |
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 mistakes we see
- Ignoring the float valve
- Waterproofing the tank before confirming the loss is from the tank and not the line
