Al Wzarat sits at roughly 602 metres above sea level, and its centre lies about 5.6 km from central Riyadh. The neighbourhood is bordered by major routes including Makkah Road, King Saud Road and Prince Abdulaziz bin Mosaad bin Jalawi Road. For underground tank leak detection, these traits matter: the elevation and location shape how water pressure and pipe runs behave across a building, while busy surrounding roads mean vibration and traffic noise can interfere with listening equipment. For this property, the team first checks the tank's access points, the fill and suction lines, and any signs of ground moisture or staining around the tank wall, because these show where a leak is most likely before any testing begins.

Before the visit, the customer should gather the tank's age, any past repair records, the recent water consumption pattern, and a rough sketch showing where the tank sits relative to the building and nearby pipes. Clear access to the pump room and the tank cover makes the inspection faster. It also helps to note when unexplained drops in water level or damp patches first appeared.

Ask the team which test method they plan to use and why it suits this tank, how long the job is expected to take on site, and what the report will include. If a leak is found, ask for the inside lining options and their cost range per square metre, which is listed at 25 to 65 riyals, so you can compare them before any work is approved.

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

When do you need underground tank leak detection?

The following signs are worth checking before they grow:

• A noticeable drop in the water level overnight
• The pump runs for longer periods
• The tank needs refilling faster than usual
• Damp or salt marks on the tiles above the tank

Where the problem usually comes from

• A float valve that does not close, so water is wasted — we check this before anything else.
• Construction joints and corners.
• Cracks in the concrete tank walls or floor.

How we choose the tool in Al Wzarat

How the work is done, step by step

1. Safety first: Tank lids and confined spaces are handled with ventilation and a second person on site.
2. Documented level test: Filling and use are stopped and the level is recorded against time.
3. Isolating the tank from the network: This tells us whether the loss is from the tank body or from the supply line.
4. Checking the body and connections: Inlet, outlet and overflow connections are inspected.
5. Recommendation: You get the next step in writing: repair, waterproofing or a line test.
