Tank leak repair in Al Hamdaniyah Jeddah
Al Hamdaniyah is densely built east of King Abdulaziz Airport and contains mid-rise apartment blocks, older villas and crowded shop rows along Al Hamdaniyah Street, Al Masurah Street and Al Haramain Road. Tanks here vary from old to modern, and the common issue is that pipes run through shared walls and mullions between buildings. A leak may appear in a neighbouring flat while the tank sits in an adjacent building.

Why the job is different in Al Hamdaniyah
Commercial shops and offices share water supply with residential towers at central pump points, causing high water pressure and repeated leaks in shared pipes. The method is set out in full on our Tank leak repair service.
Shared pipes between buildings and migrating leaks
The district is densely built and old, with main pipes running under the street and between foundations. A leak shows at one point but the source may be a tank in a distant building.
High pressure and the old Al Haramain Road
Al Haramain Road forms the western edge and runs a central pump serving several towers. High pressure breaks old pipe joints that can no longer take the load.
Old apartment blocks and deteriorating tanks
Al Hamdaniyah buildings are thirty years old or more, and concrete tanks have cracked and corroded from salt, high humidity and continuous use.
The character of Al Hamdaniyah
Mixed district: shops at street level with homes above them
Al Hamdaniyah is a dense mix of old apartment blocks, commercial shops and small villas with central pump points on main streets. Tanks here do not work in isolation, and shared pipes and high pressure are the real issue more than the individual tank.
Where the water leaves decides how it is repaired
A densely residential district east of King Abdulaziz Airport with apartment buildings, villas and shop rows along Al Hamdaniyah, Al Masurah and Al Haramain on the western edge. It is a mixed-income, mixed-use quarter.
Damp and salt on the outside wall
Float valve inspection reveals whether it allows continuous flow causing tank overflow and leaks from above.
The kind of crack
Central pump point inspection reveals the high pressure that may be the real cause, not the tank itself.
The wall to floor junction
Tank wall inspection reveals cracks and corrosion from salt, humidity and decades of heavy use.
Pipe entries
Shared pipes under the street inspection reveals leaks at distant points that surface and appear nearby.
The condition of the old lining
Roof pump connection inspection reveals leaks from exposed pipes exposed to sun and salt.
What the tank is made of
Soffit, ceiling and shared wall inspection reveals hidden moisture and seepage from pipes running through old mullions.
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
Why does the leak show in the lower flat and not at the tank?
Pipes run through shared mullions in the building. The leak may be in a pipe on the roof or in the tank, and water seeps through shared walls and ceilings.
Does fixing the visible pipe solve the problem?
Maybe not. If the pipe is under high pressure, new leaks may appear elsewhere soon.
Does an old tank always need replacement or can it be repaired?
If cracking is limited, we repair and coat it. If the body is weak in several places, replacement is cheaper than repeated repairs.
Are Al Haramain and Al Masurah alone responsible for high pressure?
No, but they are the two main pump points. Central pumping for the whole district creates daily pressure that old pipes no longer tolerate.
Is the visible leak point the only problem or are there hidden leaks?
The visible leak is a sign of a bigger problem. Old pipes leak at multiple points, some of which are underground or behind walls.
Is inspecting the tank enough or do we need to check the full pipe network?
We inspect the tank first, then the inlet and outlet pipes from its body. If the tank is sound and leaking continues, we check the shared pipes under the street.
How much does tank leak repair in Al Hamdaniyah 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 Hamdaniyah.
