Why the job is different in Al Mudaa Al Jadid
New villas are scattered across wide expanses of mixed sandy and clay soil; tanks are installed to modern standards. The method is set out in full on Tank leak repair in detail.
New villas with large overhead tanks
The new villas have large overhead tanks and modern electric pumps. The pipes running from ground to overhead tank are long and steady pressure may cause leaks at weak points.
Sandy clay soil and unstable ground
The soil is a mix of sand, clay and soft rock. Concrete foundations for villas and tanks may subside very slowly, causing minor cracks in the tanks over time.
Long distances and extended pipework
Each villa sits on wide land and pipes run from ground tank to villa and may span several tens of metres. Long joints and extended runs are prone to thermal expansion and contraction.

Open in Google MapsWhere the water leaves decides how it is repaired
A new residential district from the Crown Prince schemes south of Al Ukayshiyah along the Ibrahim Al Khalil Road extension. Most land is empty and new villas are scattered. The district is bounded by Wadi Uranah on one side, the southern Haram boundary marker on another, and Jabal Labanah to the north.
Damp and salt on the outside wall
The first check focuses on the float valve, electric pump and pressure at distant joint points.
The kind of crack
The long pipe run from ground tank to overhead tank is the most likely leak site.
The wall to floor junction
Tank base cracks may emerge due to slow, persistent ground subsidence.
Pipe entries
Moisture around the villa may indicate a leak in the long buried pipes.
The condition of the old lining
The overhead tank position and steady pump pressure may cause leaks in walls or the floor slab.
What the tank is made of
Slow steady water level drop indicates a continuous leak in the tank or long pipes.
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.
The character of Al Mudaa Al Jadid
New development: ongoing construction and vacant plots between the homes
New villas on wide open land mean tanks are large and pipes are very long indeed. Sandy clay soil may subside very slowly, causing cracks. Treatment must account for constant pump pressure on long pipes, not just the tank itself.
Questions about this district
Should we expect leaks in new villa tanks?
They can occur due to pressure from long pipe runs and strong pumps. Small cracks may appear at weak points over time.
Why do long pipes from ground to overhead tank cause leaks?
Constant pump pressure and thermal stress create continuous strain on joints and pipes. Weak points may crack or weep slowly.
Does slow ground movement affect tanks here?
Yes. New foundations may subside very slowly. This subsidence causes hairline cracks that may not show up until months later.
How do we tell if the leak is in the tank or in the long pipes?
We close the float valve and outlets and watch. If water drops from the tank itself, the leak is there. If not, the leak is in the distant pipes.
Can we fix long pipes without draining the whole tank?
It may be possible if the leak is in outlet pipes. But if it is in pressure lines or inlet, we may need partial drainage.
Does quick patching or coating fix leaks caused by ground subsidence?
No. Quick patches are temporary only. If the ground is subsiding, cracks will return. The actual cracks must be repaired first, then coating applied afterwards.
How much does tank leak repair in Al Mudaa 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 Mudaa Al Jadid.
