Could a leak hidden inside your walls or under your floor be quietly wasting water in your Al Khmra home without you noticing? It can, and the location of the property matters. The centre of Al Khmra sits at 21.3557, 39.2449, about 22.2 km from the centre of Jeddah, with an approximate radius of 1.2 km. The area sits about 21 m above sea level and roughly 7.4 km from the sea coast, while the nearest wadi channel lies about 2 km from the centre. Our hidden water leak detection service is designed for homes and buildings across this neighbourhood, where the mix of elevation, distance from the coast and nearby drainage channels makes it worth checking pipework rather than waiting for a damp patch or a sudden jump in your bill to reveal a problem.

The inspection begins with a conversation about where you have noticed changes, such as a warm patch on a floor, a musty smell, or a meter that keeps moving when taps are closed. The technician then works through the property in stages, isolating sections of supply and drainage lines so each can be tested on its own. Listening equipment and moisture readings help pinpoint where water is escaping, and the findings are explained in plain terms before any repair is discussed. Where a storage tank is part of the system, its interior condition is also reviewed, and internal coating work is quoted separately at SAR 25–65 per m², so you know the cost range before deciding anything.

Before the visit, clear access to the areas you suspect, including ceilings, floor coverings near walls, and the space around the water meter and storage tank. Note the dates of any unusual bills and any moments you have heard running water when nothing was in use, as this history helps narrow the search. Make sure someone who knows the property can be present to open doors and answer questions. With these steps in place, the inspection can focus on finding the leak quickly and accurately, rather than spending time on preparation.

Each job ends with a written report that carries a verification code you can check on our site.

Tools we use in Al Khmra

From the first visit to the report

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.
