Tank leak repair in Jabal Al Noor Makkah

Jabal Al Noor is surrounded by apartment blocks and shops on all sides, with a constant stream of visitors to the cave. Tanks in the buildings here are under continuous pressure meeting the needs of residents, visitors and shops. Leaks may start at inlet pipes or seals from constant high pressure and heavy use.

Why the job is different in Jabal Al Noor

Apartment blocks are densely built and tanks are large to meet the needs of residents and continuous visitors. Soil is sandy with natural moisture from the mountain and local topography. The method is set out in full on what Tank leak repair involves.

The first reason

Dense buildings and large tanks under continuous high pressure

Buildings around the mountain need very large tanks to supply all floors, flats and shops. Pressure is high continuously, and pipes and connections carry heavy load.

The second reason

Continuous visitor flow increases tank stress

The Hira cave draws visitors year round, and hotels, shops and restaurants surround the mountain. Water consumption is very high and unpredictable.

The third reason

Sandy soil and natural mountain moisture accelerate corrosion

Soil is sandy but sits near the mountain which retains moisture. Salts and moisture speed corrosion of metals and pipes.

Landmarks of Jabal Al Noor

Jabal Al Noor and the Hira cave mark the location clearly, and King Faisal Road provides access from the south. Souq Al Arab and commercial shops surround the base on all sides.

Before treatment

Where the water leaves decides how it is repaired

A residential and commercial zone around Jabal Al Noor on King Faisal Road, connected to Souq Al Arab and extending toward Al Adl and Wadi Jaleel.

A concrete wall marked with damp and a white salt bloom

Damp and salt on the outside wall

The float valve handles continuous high pressure, and fittings around it weaken quickly.

A fine crack running across a concrete surface

The kind of crack

Inlet pipes carry high pressure all day and metals corrode from salts and moisture.

The corner where a concrete floor meets a wall

The wall to floor junction

Seals and fittings at the pipe entry are first to fail from continuous pressure.

Water pipes passing through a concrete wall

Pipe entries

Metals corrode from natural moisture near the mountain and dissolved salts in water.

What the tank is made of

Leak signs appear as wet patches around the tank or rapid level drop during peak hours.

How we work

  1. 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. 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. 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. 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 technician inspecting with a flashlight

    A marked level test

    A reading before and after with everything shut, which establishes that the loss is the tank and not the plumbing.

  • A metal floor drain

    Draining and sediment removal

    Water and silt out of the base, so the floor and the walls can be seen as they really are.

  • A spray nozzle in close detail

    Pressure wash and dry back

    The weak layer and the dust come off, because a repair only holds on sound concrete.

  • A gloved hand applying bait into a joint

    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.

  • The visit report being written on a clipboard

    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.

  • A clean kitchen counter after treatment

    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 Al Maabdah Sub-Municipality

Al Maabdah sub municipality climbs from Al Abtah and Al Jumayzah beside the Al Mualla cemetery up through Al Khansa and Rai Adhakhir to Al Adl, Jabal Al Nour, Wadi Jaleel and Qurtubah on the outer ring roads. It mixes hotels and pilgrim housing near the Grand Mosque with old popular houses on hillside passes, new housing schemes on valley floors that carry flash floods after rain, and industrial plots, workshops and warehouses along Al Hajj Street in Qurtubah. Street widening and expropriation leave partly demolished frontages in Al Khansa.

Questions about this district

Why do Jabal Al Noor tanks leak more than other districts?

Pressure is high all the time because visitors, residents and shops all use water at once. Constant pressure weakens pipes and fittings quickly.

Do seasonal visitor surges increase leaks?

Yes. During holidays and pilgrimage season, pressure rises sharply. Small leaks may only show at peak times.

How do we handle continuous high pressure?

We inspect fittings and pipes carefully during repair and use materials rated for high pressure. We may install a pressure reducer if pressure exceeds safe limits.

Does tank lining solve the continuous pressure problem?

Lining protects from outside corrosion but does not reduce internal pressure. If pressure is very high, we may need a pressure regulator valve.

How do we tell a slow hairline crack from a weak fitting leak?

We close valves and watch the level. Very slow decline suggests hairlines. Rapid decline points to a weak joint or pipe.

Should shops and hotels around the mountain have separate tanks?

Separation might reduce pressure on the main tank. But if shared pipes are weak, separation will not solve it.

How much does tank leak repair in Jabal Al Noor 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 Jabal Al Noor.
