High Water Bill Leak Detection in the UAE

A water bill that jumps with no change in how you use water usually means a hidden leak: a running toilet, a leaking pipe in a wall or slab, or a buried main. We test your plumbing to prove whether water is being lost and find where. Fixed prices from AED 1,150 including VAT.

Common causes of a high water bill

  • Toilet cisterns or flush valves running into the bowl
  • Leaking hot water pipes or water heaters
  • Concealed pipe leaks in walls and floor slabs
  • Underground leaks between the meter and the villa
  • Irrigation, pool auto-fill or water feature leaks

How we find it

  • Meter checks with all outlets off to confirm water loss
  • Isolation and pressure testing of each section of plumbing
  • Fixture checks of toilets, heaters, taps and valves
  • Thermal, acoustic and tracer gas to pinpoint the leak
  • A written report you can keep for your records or share with your water provider

Price

Apartments AED 1,150 and villas AED 1,650 for the first hour on site, then AED 495 per extra hour. Underground mains from AED 2,450. All prices include 5% VAT and a written report. See all prices.

High water bill FAQs

Will my water provider give me a refund for the leak?

Policies differ between providers and change over time, so check directly with DEWA, SEWA or your provider. Our report documents the leak and the date it was found, which may help if you make a request.

Could the meter be wrong instead?

It is possible, but less common than a leak. If our testing shows no water loss on your side, you can raise a meter check with your provider.

I am a tenant. Should I call you or my landlord?

Tell your landlord or property manager first. We can work for either of you, and the report is useful to both.
