Is there a hidden leak in my restaurant's pipework, and how would anyone find it without tearing up the kitchen? For a restaurant owner in Am Al Jwd, Makkah, that question is a practical one. The district's centre sits at 21.4158, 39.7176, about 14.8 km from the centre of Makkah, and it covers an approximate radius of 4.1 km. The centre lies about 310 m above sea level, and the nearest wadi channel is roughly 1.3 km away. Those facts matter because they describe the setting in which your water system operates, and a leak can be easier to miss when water use is heavy and pipes run through busy commercial buildings.

Our inspection for hidden water leaks in restaurants begins with a walk through your premises to review the layout of supply lines, drains and any water storage tanks. Where a storage tank is involved, the team checks its condition, and if the interior shows wear, the internal coating can be restored, priced at SAR 25–65 per m². Next, the technician isolates sections of the system and monitors the meter and pressure to confirm whether water is escaping when no tap is open. Once a suspected point is identified, the inspector marks the area and explains the findings in plain terms, so you know exactly where the loss is and why it is occurring.

Before the visit, please gather a few details that speed up the work. Note the times when your water bills or meter readings seemed unusually high, and tell us which parts of the kitchen or washrooms have had damp patches, low pressure or unexplained stains. Clear access to the storage tank, the plant room, and any ceiling or floor cavities will also help, as will a copy of the building's plumbing drawings if you have them. Keep the areas around the pipes accessible rather than covered with stock or fittings. With this information ready, the inspection can focus on the likeliest leak points from the first hour, and you will receive a clear account of what was found in Am Al Jwd.

For restaurants, visits are planned outside service hours and recorded for the premises file.

Signs worth paying attention to

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

• A damp patch that slowly grows on a wall or ceiling
• A hissing or trickling sound in the wall after the taps are off
• The meter keeps turning with every tap closed
• A water bill higher than usual with no change in use

Where the problem usually comes from

• A hot line that expands and contracts with use.
• A corroded joint inside a wall — we check this before anything else.
• A cracked pipe under floor tiles.

Tools we use in Am Al Jwd

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.
