Water Leak Detection in Riyadh — Find the Source Before the Damage Grows

Damp walls, a stain on the ceiling, a meter that keeps turning with every tap closed, or a water bill higher than usual? These signs are worth checking. We come to you anywhere in Riyadh, 24 hours a day, to find the source of the leak and explain the repair options before any work starts.

Overview

How we handle Water leak detection

A hidden leak rarely shows up exactly where it starts. Water can travel inside a wall or under tiles and appear some distance away. That is why we always inspect and diagnose before opening anything, and we separate visible leaks that can be fixed straight away from hidden leaks that need more careful tracing.

The goal is simple: you should know where the problem is, what is likely causing it and which repair suits your home — whether that is a fitting, a section of pipe, a leaking fixture or a tank.

If water is close to sockets or the electrical panel: do not touch wet appliances or switches. If you can do so safely, close the main water valve and switch off power to the area at the breaker, then call us.

What we do

Our Water leak detection work

Leak tracing and inspection

Checking exposed pipes, joints and fixtures, and running a meter test with all taps closed to confirm whether the system is actually leaking.

Bathroom and kitchen leaks

Leaks under sinks, behind toilets, from mixers or sink waste pipes — some of the most common causes of damp in homes.

Pipe and joint repair

Replacing the damaged fitting or pipe section with suitable parts, then re-testing to make sure the leak has stopped.

Tank and float valve leaks

Inspecting the water tank, float valve and stop valves — a faulty float valve can cause constant overflow and wasted water.

Water heater leaks

Checking heater connections, the safety valve and drain outlet to see whether the leak is from a fitting or from the heater tank itself.

Damp walls and ceilings

Assessing stains, peeling paint and swollen gypsum to identify the likely source before you repaint or repair.

Symptoms

Signs worth noticing and what they may mean

These are common possibilities, not a final diagnosis — inspection confirms the cause.

Sudden rise in your water bill

Can point to a continuous leak in the pipework or a tank float valve that does not close properly.

Meter moves with all taps closed

A strong sign of a real leak that needs tracing.

Damp patches or peeling paint

Often from a nearby pipe, an upstairs bathroom or a fixture waste connection.

Musty smell or lifting tiles

Can mean water has collected under the floor or behind a wall for some time.

Sudden drop in water pressure

May relate to a leak in the supply line, a blockage or a pump issue — inspection tells which.

We do not quote a fixed price before seeing the problem. The price is set after inspection and confirmed with you before work starts.

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell if I have a hidden water leak?

The simplest test: close every tap and water-using appliance, then watch the water meter for a few minutes. If it moves, there is most likely a leak in the pipework or tank. An inspection then pinpoints where.

Does leak detection mean breaking the wall?

Not necessarily. We inspect and trace first to narrow down the source and keep any opening of walls or tiles to a minimum, and we explain before any opening why it is needed and exactly where.

How much does leak detection and repair cost?

It depends on where the leak is, how hard it is to reach and which parts are needed. Send photos on WhatsApp for an initial idea; the final price is agreed after inspection and before work begins.

Do you come at any time?

Yes, our service runs 24 hours a day across Riyadh. For a severe leak, close the main water valve first, then call us.
