Is a hidden leak really worth checking for a restaurant in Tyba, Riyadh? If you run a kitchen here, water you cannot see can quietly drain through pipes under floors, behind walls and inside storage tanks. The area sits at the centre point 24.5417, 46.8306, roughly 24.7 km from the centre of Riyadh, with an approximate radius of 1.2 km. The centre of Tyba sits about 553 m above sea level, and the nearest wadi channel lies about 2.9 km away. Those facts do not themselves show a leak, but they explain why a site-specific check, rather than a guess, is the sensible first step for a busy food business.

Our inspection for a restaurant in Tyba follows a clear sequence. The technician first walks the premises and reviews where water enters the building, where the kitchen, washrooms and storage areas draw supply, and which pipes run beneath concrete or behind finished walls. Next, the team checks the water meter and records readings while all taps and equipment are closed, so any continuing flow is noted. Listening and detection tools are then used along suspect pipe routes to pinpoint sounds of escaping water. Where a storage tank is involved, the tank is inspected for cracks and worn surfaces, and if the lining is damaged, a tank internal coating can be priced per square metre, typically SAR 25–70 per m², depending on the work required. The findings are explained to you in plain terms before any repair begins.

To make the visit efficient, prepare a few things beforehand. Gather any past water bills so the technician can compare usage over time, and note any recent changes such as new equipment, renovations or sudden jumps in consumption. Clear access to the kitchen floor drains, the back-of-house storage area, the roof or tank platform and the washroom plumbing, and let staff know the team will be working around service hours. If you have building drawings or plumbing layouts, have them ready, along with the contact details of the person who manages the premises. Being prepared helps the inspection finish quickly and keeps your restaurant running with minimal disruption.

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

Tools we use in Tyba

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.
