Tank leak repair in Al Salihiyah Jeddah
Al Salihiyah is a relatively new district in north Jeddah, lying east of Al Hamdaniyah and south of Al Falah and Al Rahmaniyah, laid out as separate subdivisions of modern villas and new apartment blocks with vacant plots still between the buildings. Tanks here are modern but construction is not yet complete, and pipes and foundations face ongoing excavation and change. A leak may come from poor installation in rapid construction rather than from the tank itself.

Why the job is different in Al Salihiyah
Modern buildings and new villas contain modern-design metal or concrete tanks, but main pipes remain incomplete and contractors alter routes due to ongoing development. The method is set out in full on Tank leak repair in detail.
Modern tanks in new villas and rapid installation
New villas in Al Salihiyah have modern aluminium or reinforced concrete tanks. But installation during rapid construction may leave gaps in joints and leaks come from weak fastening rather than the tank itself.
Rerouted pipes and shifting ground plots
Al Salihiyah is still under development and main pipes run through vacant ground and dig zones. Contractors reroute pipes due to new projects nearby, causing cracks and uneven pressure.
Incomplete foundations and deep entry leaks
Some older villas here have underground tanks, and neighbouring excavation causes foundation subsidence. Underground pipes face stress and movement causing early cracks.
The character of Al Salihiyah
New development: ongoing construction and vacant plots between the homes
Al Salihiyah is a new district under development with modern tanks and pipes but incomplete construction. The problem usually lies in rapid installation and pipe rerouting due to new nearby projects, not the tank itself. Treatment focuses on pressure and joints rather than tank repair.
Where the water leaves decides how it is repaired
A new development district in north Jeddah east of Al Hamdaniyah and south of Al Falah and Al Rahmaniyah, reached by Al Furusiyah Street. Laid out as subdivisions of modern villas and new apartments with vacant plots between buildings.
Damp and salt on the outside wall
Modern float valve inspection reveals whether installation was done correctly or rushed without pressure testing.
The kind of crack
Pipe route and joint inspection reveals recent changes and uneven pressure from rerouting.
The wall to floor junction
The modern tank itself rarely shows leaks, but we check joints and connections tightened under time pressure.
Pipe entries
Underground pipe inspection reveals cracks from neighbouring excavation and minor ground subsidence in new development.
The condition of the old lining
Ground entry point inspection reveals unbalanced pressure because new tanks may sit at different elevations.
What the tank is made of
Pressure and level inspection determines whether the leak comes from pressure loss or real seepage in the body or 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.
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 do leaks appear quickly in new Al Salihiyah villas?
Villas are new but installation is rapid and the contractor may have failed to tighten joints properly. The tank itself doesn't leak, but hastily fitted pipes do.
Should the contractor reroute pipes after neighbouring excavation?
Yes, but they may not, causing uneven pressure and levels. We check pressure first to see if pipes are under unbalanced load.
Does a leak from a modern tank mean a factory defect?
Rarely. Modern tanks from known makers rarely leak. Leaks usually come from poor installation or rerouted pipes.
Does rerouting pipes because of construction cause leaks?
Yes, if done hastily without checking pressure and joints. Cracks may appear in neighbouring pipes from the new pressure.
Do vacant plots nearby affect new tank safety?
They may affect foundations and underground pipes. Neighbouring excavation causes subsidence and movement that stresses pipes.
Is fixing a leak in Al Salihiyah easier than in old quarters?
Some cases are easier because tanks are modern and accessible. But rerouted pipes and changing pressure may need full reinstallation.
How much does tank leak repair in Al Salihiyah 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 Salihiyah.
