Have you noticed a sudden rise in your water bill, or damp patches around your tank? Tank leaks are among the most serious problems for homes in Amman. In this complete guide, Al Tamayuz covers the latest ways to find and treat tank leaks without breaking.
Common causes of tank leaks in Amman
Water tanks leak for several reasons, the most common being:
- Age: old waterproofing layers wear away in ground and concrete tanks.
- Temperature changes: Jordan’s wide temperature swings make the body of the tank expand and contract.
- Poor installation: defects in the pipe connections that feed the tank.
Signs of a leak in a water tank
You can tell there may be a problem from these signs:
- A higher water bill: an unexplained rise in consumption even though your use has not changed.
- Sinking ground: a slight dip in the ground around a ground tank.
- Damp and mould: dark patches on nearby walls.
Inspecting ground and roof tanks with modern technology
At Al Tamayuz we use advanced techniques to inspect every type of tank, including water pressure testing to make sure the connections are sound.
Acoustic and thermal detection
We use digital listening devices to locate cracks in the body of the tank with great precision and without random breaking — one of the best methods of water leak detection in Amman, Jordan.
Frequently asked questions about tank leaks
- Can a tank leak affect the foundations of the house? Yes. A continuous leak can corrode the steel reinforcement and make the ground subside.
- What is the best material for waterproofing tanks? We use epoxy and internationally approved cementitious waterproofing.
- How long does a tank inspection take? The inspection is precise and usually takes 30 to 60 minutes.
A real case: saving a home in Amman
In one case handled by Al Tamayuz, we found a crack in the floor of a ground tank that was losing large amounts of water under the foundations of the house. The tank was waterproofed straight away with modern materials, and the water bill dropped by 40%.
