Is there a leak behind my walls, under the floor, or in the garden, and do I have to break anything to find it? That is the question most property owners in Zhra Lbn ask first, and it is a reasonable one. Zhra Lbn sits at 24.6329, 46.5531, about 15.3 km from the centre of Riyadh, within an approximate radius of 8 km, and it stands roughly 747 m above sea level. The nearest wadi channel is about 1.8 km from the centre of the area. Those facts matter for a home with a hidden leak because ground conditions and drainage paths can differ from street to street, so a leak is best located by listening and measuring rather than by guessing where the damage lies.

Our inspection starts with a review of your water meter readings and the pattern of your usage over recent weeks, which helps show whether water is escaping while no taps are open. The technician then checks the main supply line, the tank, and the pipework that is visible without opening anything. Where the sound of water flow is suspected, acoustic listening tools and pressure tests are used to narrow down the area. Thermal and moisture readings can help identify damp patches under floors or behind surfaces. The aim is to pinpoint the leak with the least disruption, so that no wall or floor is opened until the location is confirmed. If the storage tank is part of the problem, the technician will also note its condition, and internal coating work is quoted separately at SAR 25–70 per m².

Before the visit, please turn off all taps and appliances that use water, including washing machines and dishwashers, and note the current meter reading. Write down when you first noticed the problem, any damp smells, stains, or changes in water pressure, and which areas of the home have been affected. Clear access to the tank, the meter, and any outdoor valves will save time. If you have plans or past maintenance records for the property, have them ready, as they can show where pipes were routed. Keeping pets and children away from the area being checked is also helpful. With these details in hand, the technician can work efficiently and give you a clear picture of what is happening behind the surfaces of your home.

The aim is to locate the cause with instruments first, so any opening is limited to one point.

Tools we use in Zhra Lbn

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.
