Water leakage problems are considered one of the most prominent challenges facing buildings and buildings in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, as they cause structural damage, roof damage, and increased maintenance costs in the long term.
From this standpoint, the importance of relying on a specialized and reliable company to detect and treat leaks with high efficiency and accuracy emerges.
Etqan Water Leak Detection Company in Saudi Arabia is one of the leading companies in this field_, as it has long practical experience, which makes it able to deal with all types of leaks with exceptional efficiency.
The company relies on the latest advanced devices and technologies_, which allow the exact location of the leak to be determined, regardless of the depths or type of the leak, without the need to break surfaces or cause any damage to the building.
Thanks to this experience and advanced technologies, Etqan Insulation Company ensures the protection of buildings from damage resulting from water leakage, and provides quick and effective solutions for the sectors_residential, commercial, and industrial_ alike, which enhances safety and sustainability and preserves property value in the long term.
The role of the National Water Company in detecting water leaks in Saudi Arabia
The National Water Company plays an important role in providing water around the clock, as well as in reducing water leaks in the Kingdom. With the continuous updates of water networks, the company works to ensure continuous pumping of water in all cities and neighborhoods, which may make detecting leaks in ground tanks more difficult, as the loss from the feed network is automatically compensated_.
Challenges in detecting leaks
As a result of the constant flow of water, leaks may not be noticed until after a long time, which may exacerbate the problem if not paid attention to them from the beginning_.
Modern solutions and technologies
To overcome this problem, the National Water Company has recently taken several effective steps:-
1- Updating subscribers' mobile numbers to ensure continuous communication.
2- Sending automatic warning messages if the bill consumption exceeds the usual limit, alerting subscribers to the possibility of water leakage.
3- Using advanced algorithms to compare current consumption with previous months, which helps detect any abnormal increase in consumption.
With these points, the National Water Company was able to alert subscribers to leaks before they worsen, and contribute to water conservation and reducing waste, which supports national efforts to conserve water resources_.
Causes of water leaks in Saudi Arabia
Water leaks are one of the most common problems facing buildings and homes in the Kingdom, affecting water consumption, infrastructure, and the health of residents. Its causes vary between technical and environmental factors
It can be summarized as follows:-
1. Neglecting regular maintenance
Failure to perform regular maintenance on extensions [pipes, tanks, and bathrooms] is considered one of the most prominent causes of water leaks. Do not replace damaged parts or neglect any leak, even if it is simple, that leads to the loss of large amounts of water around the clock.
2. Floor subsidence and its effect on pipes
Often the water networks are inside the floors. When floors sink, the pipes are exposed to pressure and breakage, which leads to water leakage_.
Also, installing powerful high-pressure pumps without calculating the pressure required for the building or villa increases the chances of leaks_.
3. Siphon leaks, kitchens and bathrooms
Indoor siphons in bathrooms and kitchens are common sources of water leakage. Accumulation of small leaks over days and weeks leads to loss of large amounts of water, thus increasing long-term damage_.
4. Agricultural networks and water valves
Irrigation valves and agricultural connections are hidden sources of water leakage. If not maintained periodically, it leaks water without the user's knowledge, and it may take a long time to detect it, which doubles the water loss_.
5. Malfunctions of internal and external feeding networks
Water leaks can occur in various parts of the distribution network, both inside and outside the home
Including:-
- Ground and upper tanks.
- Swimming pools of different types (overflow - fiberglass - skimmer).
- Elevator rooms, septic tanks and manholes.
- Municipal pipes and the connection between the ground tank and the water network of the National Water Company.
- Surfaces due to rain or leaks from the overhead distribution network.
6. Installation errors
Random installation of pumps, failure to calculate the appropriate water pressure, or use of materials that do not meet specifications increases the possibility of leaks_.

Types of water leaks in Saudi Arabia
Water leaks in Saudi Arabia can be classified into two main types:
1. Visual leaks
These are leaks that can be easily noticed and appear to the naked eye, such as:
Leaks in faucets cabinets and mixers
Siphon leaks inside bathrooms
External sewage networks on the facades of houses, villas and palaces
External feed network leaks
Excess upper tank water seeps directly into the drainage networks
These leaks represent a large portion of total water leaks and are
easier to detect and repair than other types_.
2. Invisible leaks
These are leaks that cannot be easily located and require specialized detection devices. They include:
- Ground tanks, main feeding networks for buildings.
- Farming networks, swimming pools, and orchards.
- Elevator rooms, decks, and air conditioning networks.
- House facades, bathrooms, kitchens, and washing machine rooms.
- Sewerage networks and places affected by heavy or moderate rain.
Frequently asked questions about water leaks and Etqan's role in detecting and treating them
1. What are the main causes of water leakage in buildings?
Causes include: neglect of regular maintenance/falling floors/leaks in siphons, kitchens and bathrooms/malfunctions of agricultural networks and valves/malfunctions of internal and external feeding networks/and installation errors.
2. What is the difference between visible and invisible leaks?
Visible leaks can be observed with the eye, such as leaks from faucets _ siphons _ and surplus tanks.Invisible leaks require specialized detection devices such as leaks from underground tanks, agricultural networks, elevator rooms and roofs.
