Tank leak repair in Al Murjan Jeddah
Al Murjan is a small coastal district on the north corniche, with villas and apartment buildings facing the sea directly. The marine environment means tanks are exposed to intense humidity, salt spray and strong winds. Leaks here commonly stem from corroded metal tanks or seawater-damaged pipes, so we drain and deeply clean the tank before repair because salt interferes with repair quality.

Potable-rated materials
Linings and disinfectants cleared for drinking water tanks, not general-purpose products.

You get the downtime first
How many hours the tank is out of service, told before we start rather than after we finish.
-
A first-draw flush
We run the first draw off after refilling, and the tank is not handed back until the water runs clear.

Villas, apartment blocks and premises that need a written record of each visit.
Why the job is different in Al Murjan
Residential buildings in Al Murjan are relatively older and metal storage tanks show accelerated corrosion from salt and continuous marine humidity. The method is set out in full on what Tank leak repair involves.
Metal tanks and coastal rust
Most villas in Al Murjan use steel or aluminium tanks. Salt and marine moisture penetrate the outer layer and rust begins inside. The rust creates tiny holes that widen steadily.
Copper and iron pipes and metal decay
Supply pipes in coastal areas corrode from salt much faster than inland neighbourhoods. Pipe fittings are the first to fail and leaks often start at connection points.
High humidity and sea-wind exposure
Strong sea breezes and constant humidity increase pressure on the tank body. Tanks face moisture from above and from the sea side, accelerating decay.

A small coastal district on the north corniche road between King Abdulaziz Road and the sea, with low-density villas, a few apartment buildings and gated residential compounds facing the waterfront directly.
Damp and salt on the outside wall
Tank body inspection focuses on rust spots and discoloration on metal tank walls inside and out.
The kind of crack
Inspection of inlet and outlet pipes requires disconnecting fittings and checking metal thickness and corrosion at each joint.
The wall to floor junction
Pressure checking shows whether leaks come from small metal cracks or from loose fittings.
Pipe entries
Internal water inspection reveals rust particles and excess salt indicating advanced internal corrosion.
The condition of the old lining
External layer inspection requires close examination of protective paint and coatings and whether they need renewal.
What the tank is made of
Joint and corner inspection focuses on leaks from corners where rust and structural weakness begin.
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 Murjan
Coastal area: high humidity and salt air through the year
Al Murjan is a small coastal district with villas and buildings facing the sea directly. The marine environment means tanks are exposed to salt spray and continuous humidity, so repair requires deep cleaning of salt and rust before any other treatment.
Questions about this district
Do metal tanks in Al Murjan rust faster than concrete ones?
Yes, significantly faster. Salt and marine humidity speed corrosion from inside and out. Steel tanks may rust through in two or three years while concrete tanks last longer.
Why do leaks in coastal areas differ from inland districts?
Salt accelerates metal degradation. Pipes and fittings corrode faster and tanks may need replacement soon after installation.
Does washing the tank of salt stop a leak?
Cleaning the tank is necessary but does not stop a leak if rust has begun. The tank must be repaired or replaced if rust is deep.
Does interior lining protect against salt?
Lining protects from salt and humidity only after thorough rust removal. If rust remains under the lining the lining will fail quickly.
How often do tank repairs need doing in Al Murjan?
Metal tanks may need servicing every one or two years. Regular inspection to catch rust early is better than waiting for severe leaks.
Is tank replacement better than repair in coastal areas?
If rust is deep and tank size is large, replacement may be more cost-effective. Repair succeeds if rust is caught at an early stage.
How much does tank leak repair in Al Murjan 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 Murjan.
