Do I have a hidden water leak in my Al Rwasy home, and how would anyone find it without tearing up my floors? Al Rwasy sits at roughly 21.6877, 39.2796, about 19.5 km from the centre of Jeddah, and its centre stands about 116 m above sea level. The district lies roughly 10.2 km from the sea coast, and the nearest wadi channel is about 1.8 km from its centre. Those figures matter less for a leak itself than for the context around it: a property here is a long way from the coast and close to natural drainage lines, so it is worth checking that water is not finding its way into the structure from outside as well as from within the plumbing.

A leak check usually starts with a walk through the property to note where water use is concentrated, followed by a review of the meter and the pipe routes you can access. The technician then works through the likely areas in order, using listening and pressure-based methods to narrow the source before opening anything. Where a tank is involved, the inspection covers its condition, and if the interior shows wear, a coating may be discussed; for reference, tank internal coating is priced at SAR 25–65 per m², which gives a rough sense of what that part of the work could involve once it has been confirmed as necessary. Each step is recorded so you can see which areas were cleared and which need follow-up.

To make the visit efficient, gather any past water bills, note any damp patches, staining, or unexplained rises in consumption, and clear access to the meter, the tank, and the spaces where pipes run. Tell the technician about recent repairs or renovations, since these often change pipe routes. Keep pets and children away from work zones, and plan for the visit to take some time, because a proper search is methodical rather than quick. Having this information ready helps the inspection focus on the right places from the start.

Tools we use in Al Rwasy

The steps in order

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.
