Tank leak repair in Al Misyal Al Jadid Makkah
Al Misyal Al Jadid is a new residential quarter with modern villas and apartment blocks along Ibrahim Al Khalil Road south of Al Hajlah Al Jadid. Tanks here are recently installed but leaks may come from newly laid pipework if connections were rushed, or from the tank shell itself if cracks have formed. Testing is straightforward because buildings are new and internal parts are accessible.

Why the job is different in Al Misyal Al Jadid
Buildings are newly constructed and tanks were installed within the last one or two years. Leaks typically emerge after the intense summer heat or due to poor initial installation. The method is set out in full on how we approach Tank leak repair.
New supply pipes may be the leak source
New buildings have recently installed copper and iron pipes, and connections may not have been tightened properly from the start. The tank shell itself may be intact but water escapes at pipe entry points.
New plastic tanks crack under heat and pressure
Plastic tanks in new areas are exposed to direct sun on rooftops. Fine cracks develop after months of continuous use.
Detached villas give fast access to tanks and pipework
New villas have elevated tanks that are easy to reach and short direct pipe runs. Repairs are fast because there are no extra layers or old foundations blocking inspection.
The character of Al Misyal Al Jadid
New development: ongoing construction and vacant plots between the homes
A new-development area means tanks and pipes are recent and materials are standard. Problems usually stem from poor initial installation or factory defects, not wear. Treatment focuses on rapid diagnosis and core repair before lining.
Where the water leaves decides how it is repaired
A new residential development in the south of Jeddah on an extension of Ibrahim Al Khalil Road, with apartment buildings and villas separated by wide empty plots, near the Saudi German Hospital and along Qutbah bin Amer Street.
Damp and salt on the outside wall
Tank inspection: close float and outlet valves and monitor water level drop to pinpoint leak source precisely.
The kind of crack
Pipe inspection: look for leaks at connections between tank and newly installed copper or iron pipes where fittings may not be tight.
The wall to floor junction
Crack inspection: plastic tanks may have fine cracks from direct solar heat on the roof surface.
Pipe entries
Pressure check: excessive pressure at the entry point may cause leaks in thin new pipework.
The condition of the old lining
Joint inspection: welded or heat-set joints in new pipes are potential weak points.
What the tank is made of
Internal leak check: water may seep from inside the tank into the gap between inner and outer walls without showing on the surface directly.
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 South Makkah Sub-Municipality
South Makkah sub municipality is the belt of Crown Prince schemes south of Al Ukayshiyah, along the Al Laith road and the extension of Ibrahim Al Khalil Road to the Fifth Ring Road and the Non Muslims bypass. Most of it is still bare: granted plots awaiting houses, new villas standing alone, open building sites and unfinished paving and drainage. Wadi Uranah and its tributaries cross the low ground and hold water after rain, hills close it in, and rodents, reptiles and scorpions shelter in stacked materials and foundation pits before the neighbourhoods fill up.
Questions about this district
What is the difference between a tank leak and a pipework leak in the new quarter?
We close the float valve and outlet and watch the level fall. If water only drains from the tank, the leak is in the tank. If it continues down external lines, the problem is in the connections.
Is leaking in new villas due to poor installation or a product defect?
It could be either. Pipes may have been connected hastily or the tank may have a factory fault. Inspection pinpoints the cause.
What determines the cost if the leak is at a pipe entry point?
Cost depends on location and accessibility. In new villas, entry points are usually straightforward to repair.
Does sealing with caulk cure the leak without fixing real cracks?
No. Surface treatment fails. We repair the crack or replace the pipe, then apply internal lining after the real repair is complete.
Do plastic tanks in hot zones need annual maintenance?
Yes. Annual inspection catches fine cracks before they become a major problem.
Does retaining the tank without fixing the crack solve the leak?
No. Lining stops the leak only temporarily. The crack or pipe must be fixed first, then the tank lined.
How much does tank leak repair in Al Misyal Al Jadid 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 Misyal Al Jadid.
