Tank leak repair in Al Shamiyah Al Jadid Makkah
Al Shamiyah Al Jadid is one of the largest modern residential projects in Jeddah, the Crown Prince First scheme on the Al Laith road west. The district is very new, buildings and tanks are modern, but tanks face high pressure from heavy use. Streets are wide and houses and buildings orderly. Leaks are rare but when they occur they stem from construction defects or pressure stress.

Why the job is different in Al Shamiyah Al Jadid
Buildings are very new and tanks are modern reinforced concrete or stainless steel. Pressure on tanks is high due to heavy consumption and high housing density. The method is set out in full on our Tank leak repair service.
Modern tanks under high pressure
Tanks are reinforced concrete or stainless steel and very new. But the resident population is large and consumption is heavy. Continuous pressure on tanks may cause cracks at joints or walls.
Modern apartment buildings and villas
The district contains modern apartment blocks and residential villas. Each building has its own tank. Shared tanks in apartment blocks are large, individual villa tanks smaller.
Heavy use and high housing density
The project is new and residents are settling rapidly. Daily consumption is very heavy and pressure on tanks continues all day.

Open in Google MapsWhere the water leaves decides how it is repaired
A modern housing scheme south of Jeddah on the Al Laith road, the westernmost of the southern schemes near the Fifth Ring Road and Haram boundary on the Al Laith road. Modern apartment blocks and villas on wide streets with commercial areas and a planned leisure centre with gardens between the Al Laith road and the Non Muslims bypass.
Damp and salt on the outside wall
Level drop testing is faster in new tanks because pressure is regular and the tank is tightly sealed.
The kind of crack
Inspection of pipe entry and exit points focuses on modern fittings and high pressure may cause leaks there.
The wall to floor junction
Small cracks in concrete walls may appear from continuous pressure or original construction defects.
Pipe entries
Water quality is good here and leaks do not cause algae or bacterial growth easily, but cleaning is important for water quality.
The condition of the old lining
Leak location is usually at joints or entry points rather than in the tank walls themselves.
What the tank is made of
Leaks in new tanks are rare but when they occur stem from pressure or defects, and repair is quick and simple.
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 Shamiyah Al Jadid
New development: ongoing construction and vacant plots between the homes

Questions about this district
Why a leak in a new tank?
May be due to a construction defect or material fault. High pressure and heavy use may expose defects quickly.
Do stainless steel tanks never leak?
Rarely. But leaks may come from joints or construction defects in the original build.

Yes. Continuous pressure on tank walls may cause small cracks at joints or walls.
How often should a tank be inspected in Al Shamiyah Al Jadid?
Once yearly is enough for new tanks. But if you notice unusual water bill increases, inspection is urgent.
Does a new tank need regular cleaning?
Yes. Even new tanks need annual cleaning to remove algae, sediment and bacteria.
