Tank leak repair in Harat Al Bab Al Jadid Makkah
Harat Al Bab Al Jadid is a new villa quarter on Al Laith Road with many buildings still under construction and properties receiving fresh tanks. Leaks here often appear in fill and outlet pipes because installations are new and foundations are still settling. The tanks themselves may crack from foundation movement or manufacturing defects.

Why the job is different in Harat Al Bab Al Jadid
New villa water pipes are in their first years of service, and tanks installed in the past two years may show leaks from foundation settling or factory defects. The method is set out in full on Tank leak repair in detail.
Fill and outlet pipes in newly constructed villas
Water supply pipes connected to the tank in new villas may not be tightly fitted. Vibrations from nearby building work and slow foundation settling place stress on joints and connections.
Cracks from foundation settlement
New villa foundations are still settling and shifting slightly. Tanks mounted on them may crack if pressure is uneven or if foundations shift suddenly.
Leaks appear quickly because villas are new and monitored closely
New owners watch their water bills closely and notice waste immediately. Villa piping is documented and accessible, making leak sources easy to identify.

A newly developed granted-plot quarter in south Jeddah on Al Laith Road, between Al Shamiyah Al Jadid and Al Ghazzah Al Jadid, with ongoing construction and first residents moving in.
Damp and salt on the outside wall
Checking the float valve and outlet reveals whether the leak lies in the tank body or in the supply and drain pipes.
The kind of crack
Inspecting joints between pipes and tank detects leaks from weak fitting or loosened connectors caused by foundation shift.
The wall to floor junction
Inspecting the tank exterior reveals fine cracks in concrete or metal, especially at stress points around pipe entries.
Pipe entries
Checking ground moisture around the tank pinpoints where the actual leak emerges.
The condition of the old lining
Inspecting the foundation beneath the tank reveals settling or instability that may cause tank cracks or joint movement.
What the tank is made of
Checking incoming water pressure reveals abnormally high pressure that may stress weak joints or the tank itself.
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 Harat Al Bab Al Jadid
New development: ongoing construction and vacant plots between the homes
New villa foundations are still settling and tanks are freshly installed. Treatment must account for foundation movement and soil bearing stress. A leak may be temporary if foundation movement causes it and may stabilise on its own after months when the villa settles.
Questions about this district
Is the leak in the tank itself or the pipes?
We close the float valve and outlet and monitor the water level. If it falls, the leak is in the tank body. If it holds steady, the leak is in external pipes or the supply line.
Can vibration from neighbouring construction cause tank cracks?
It can in severe cases. But in new villas the more common causes are unsettled foundations and tanks fixed rigidly to a shifting base.
What is the difference between fixing a leak and lining a tank?
Fixing means stopping the source itself: tightening a joint, patching a crack or replacing a pipe entry. Lining comes after repair to prevent water returning to that spot.
Can the tank stay full while we repair it?
No. We must drain, clean and dry the tank completely before repair and lining. An empty tank lets us see cracks and joints clearly.
Do new villas need routine tank inspection?
Yes. New villa foundations are still settling, so checking every six months in the first two years catches leaks early before they damage the building.
Does a tank leak affect water supply to neighbouring villas?
Not directly. But if a shared main water line serves multiple villas and develops a leak, it may affect several properties. We must check the main line too.
How much does tank leak repair in Harat Al Bab 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 Harat Al Bab Al Jadid.
