Do you ever wonder whether a damp patch on a villa wall or an unexplained jump in the water bill could mean a hidden leak? In Al Bghdadya Al Shrqya, that question is worth asking early. The neighbourhood's centre sits at 21.4985, 39.1928, about 5.4 km from the centre of Jeddah, with an approximate radius of 1.2 km. It lies about 13 m above sea level and roughly 1 km from the sea coast, so the area's conditions are closer to the coast than inland, and that is one reason owners here often want a clear check of pipes and tanks rather than guessing where water is going.

The inspection follows a clear sequence. First, the technician reviews the property's water supply points, from the main connection through to the rooftop or ground-level tanks, and notes where the meter readings and visible signs don't match. Next, the pipework is checked in the areas most likely to hide a leak, such as behind walls, under floors and around bathrooms and kitchens, using listening and detection methods rather than opening walls at random. Tanks are then examined for seepage and for the condition of their interior. Where tank coating is needed, the price range given for internal coating is SAR 25–65 per m², so the size of the tank will shape the cost. Each finding is recorded so the owner can see exactly what was tested and what was found.

Before the visit, it helps to gather a few things. Keep recent water bills so the technician can compare consumption over time. Note any damp areas, cracks, stains or sounds you have noticed, and when they started. Make sure the technician can reach the tanks, the meter, the bathrooms and the kitchen, and that pets or children are kept away from the work area. If any tanks have been cleaned or repaired before, have the details ready. With this information in hand, the inspection can focus on the right places and give you a clearer picture of what is happening inside your villa.

Villas often have several lines and tanks; we test them one at a time so the cause is clear.

Signs that call for hidden water leak detection

If you notice one of these signs in Al Bghdadya Al Shrqya, it is a good moment to talk to the team:

Tools we use in Al Bghdadya Al Shrqya

How the work is done, step by step

1. Meter test: We stop all use and watch the meter to confirm whether water is actually being lost.
2. Line isolation: We close valves one line at a time to see which line loses pressure.
3. Acoustic listening: We follow the sound of water escaping under pressure and compare its strength between points.
4. Thermal imaging and moisture mapping: We map how far the wet area spreads behind paint and tiles.
5. Documentation: Readings, photos and the likely position go into a written report.
