Tank leak repair in Al Bashair Jeddah
Al Bashair is a new development district on the main Asfan ring road, with newly built villas, apartment blocks and guest rest houses. Tanks here are large and modern, but network pressure and heavy use expose weak points fast. Quick identification of where water is lost protects the foundations underneath.

Why the job is different in Al Bashair
Buildings were erected in the last three years, with tanks installed quickly to serve new families and rest houses consuming high water volumes. The method is set out in full on how we approach Tank leak repair.
High pressure from mains supply and intensive use
Guest houses and small hotels in Al Bashair fill tanks fast and empty them faster. Pressure fluctuations weaken joints and hidden cracks emerge only under load.
High-mounted exposed tanks and thermal stress
Most tanks sit on high roofs exposed to sun and air. Thermal expansion and contraction create hairline fractures that leak within months.
Tight-fitted flexible pipes under strain
Fast installation means pipes are over-torqued for security, stressing the metal. Heat and pressure loosen the joints and water escapes.
The character of Al Bashair
New development: ongoing construction and vacant plots between the homes
Al Bashair is built fast and hard-used, with modern tanks under heavy pressure from guest houses and hotels. Treatment must account for high-pressure effects on new metals and pipe joints, and repair must be robust enough to survive heavy use before lining is applied.
Where the water leaves decides how it is repaired
A new development district in north Jeddah on the Asfan ring road, bounded by Al Furusiyah Road to the east, Taybah to the west, Al Falah to the south and Al Rahmaniyah to the south east.
Damp and salt on the outside wall
Cracks in the tank walls originate at high-pressure points and grow with repeated heavy use.
The kind of crack
Pipe joint failures happen because fluctuating pressure stresses metal and seal materials.
The wall to floor junction
Water loss is obvious in guest houses and small hotels when consumption falls below expected draw.
Pipe entries
Moisture below the tank and visible seeping from the ceiling underside signal serious leakage, not condensation.
The condition of the old lining
Leak location may be base, walls or joints, and each spot requires a different repair route.
What the tank is made of
Tanks under intensive load need regular inspection because continuous pressure creates new cracks.
How we work
-
1
Inspect and locate the leak
We close the float valve and the outlet, mark the water level and watch it fall, then check the fittings and the wall beside it. That separates a tank leak from a pipe leak or a float valve that never shuts.
-
2
Drain, clean and dry
We empty the tank, lift the sediment off the base, wash back to sound concrete and let the surface dry. No repair holds on a damp or dusty face.
-
3
Repair the cracks and the entries
We cut the crack open, fill it with a non-shrink mortar, inject anything still weeping and rebuild around the pipe sleeve. A joint that moves takes a flexible detail, not a rigid one.
-
4
Refill, test, then sterilise
We refill, read the level again to confirm the drop has stopped, then sterilise before the water is used, because the tank has been open with tools and hands inside it.
What tank leak repair includes
-
A marked level test
A reading before and after with everything shut, which establishes that the loss is the tank and not the plumbing.
-
Draining and sediment removal
Water and silt out of the base, so the floor and the walls can be seen as they really are.
-
Pressure wash and dry back
The weak layer and the dust come off, because a repair only holds on sound concrete.
-
Cracks opened and filled
The crack is cut open and filled with a non-shrink mortar, and anything still weeping under water pressure is injected.
-
Refill and a recorded test
We refill, read the level again and write the reading down, so the result is not a matter of opinion.
-
Sterilised and back in service
A wash and a sterilisation once the material has cured, and guidance on running the first fill off before the water is used.
What is different about Taybah Sub-Municipality
Taybah sub municipality covers the newly built districts of north east Jeddah along Al Haramain Road and Asfan Road. New villas and apartment buildings stand among vacant plots, building sites and half finished subdivisions. Al Hamdaniyah is the oldest and densest part with its markets and shops, while Al Furusiyah, Al Bashair, Al Rahmaniyah, Al Falah and Al Salihiyah are mostly recent. The ground is inland and away from the sea, dry and dusty, rest houses, camps and stables on the fringes draw flies and crawling insects, and constant digging and construction stirs rodents out of the empty plots.
Questions about this district
Is a leak in Al Bashair always in the tank or can it be the pipes?
Either place. We shut the valves and watch. If level still falls, the tank is cracked or the pipe entry is weak.
Why does the leak only show up when we fill the tank fast?
High pressure opens hidden cracks. At low use you may not see it, but it is there.
Do the larger tanks serving guest houses need different repair?
Yes. Bigger volume means higher pressure and deeper cracks. Repair may need complete drainage and longer lead times.
What is the difference between reseating a pipe joint and repairing the tank itself?
A pipe joint gets re-tightened or new ferrules fitted. A cracked tank needs draining, cleaning, crack repair then lining.
Does chemical sealing alone stop the leak?
No, sealing comes after the repair. If the crack remains, water eats under the seal and the leak returns.
How often should I inspect the tank after repair?
Monthly check in the first three months is sensible. After that, yearly is enough if the leak has stopped.
How much does tank leak repair in Al Bashair cost?
It is set after the inspection, because the price follows the type of infestation, the size of the space, how far it has spread and the number of visits it needs. Send a photo and a description on WhatsApp and we will give you an estimate before we reach Al Bashair.
