Tank leak repair in Prince Abdul Majeed Jeddah
Prince Abdul Majeed is a mixed district of spacious villas and modern apartment buildings spread along Prince Abdul Majeed ibn Abdulaziz Street. Tanks here sit either on villa roofs or in upper floors of apartment blocks, each building with its own independent system. Leaks may come from cracks in tank walls or from inlet pipes, and detection requires steady level monitoring.

Why the job is different in Prince Abdul Majeed
Buildings are recent and tanks vary widely in size and type, ranging from fibreglass tanks on roofs to steel tanks in upper floors. The method is set out in full on how we approach Tank leak repair.
Roof-mounted villa tanks exposed to sun and thermal stress
Villas here have tanks mounted directly on rooftops, exposed to full sun all day. Thermal expansion causes cracks in tank walls, especially at joints and corners.
Inlet and outlet pipes run through floors and walls
Pipes traverse floors and walls to connect the tank to the villa or apartment. Minor building movements cause pipe fractures or joint separation.
Separate water system per building means multiple tanks to check
Each villa or block runs its own system. The leak may be in the main tank or a secondary tank in an upper floor, each requiring separate inspection.

Open in Google MapsWhere the water leaves decides how it is repaired
A mixed district in south Jeddah between Prince Fawaz to the north and Al Sanabel to the south, divided by Prince Abdul Majeed Street. It contains villas and modern apartments alongside services including Al Tawbah Mosque, a health centre and Event Mall.
Damp and salt on the outside wall
Small cracks in tank walls appear at protrusions and corners where thermal stress concentrates.
The kind of crack
Pipe separation at joints occurs in floor slabs where pipes slip from openings or rubber seals weaken.
The wall to floor junction
Algae residue and moisture inside the tank show on draining and indicate past external or old internal leaks.
Pipe entries
Rust on steel tanks starts at pipe entry points and spreads until it creates small holes.
The condition of the old lining
Water level drops faster than normal if the leak is from a tank wall or from an outlet pipe beneath the floor slab.
What the tank is made of
Dripping sounds or dampness on external walls point to a leak from an inlet pipe or float valve joint.
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 Prince Abdul Majeed
Mixed district: shops at street level with homes above them
The district mixes villas and apartments, meaning tank types and sizes vary. Villas have small rooftop tanks that move with heat; apartments have larger tanks in upper floors. Repair method differs by tank type, location and available workspace.
Questions about this district
How do we know if the leak is from the tank itself and not the pipes?
We close the float valve and outlet and watch the level for an hour. If it drops, the leak is in the tank wall; if not, it is in the pipes.
Does tank lining solve the problem if there are cracks?
Lining covers cracks but does not repair them. We repair the crack first with epoxy patch, then line afterwards.
Why are roof-mounted tanks more prone to leaks than those in lower floors?
Heat causes constant expansion and contraction. Rooftop tanks move more and crack faster.
Does a fibreglass tank leak easier than a steel one?
Fibreglass cracks from impact and excessive heat, but does not rust. Steel is stronger against cracking but may leak from rust corrosion.
How long does inspection and repair take?
Inspection takes roughly 30 minutes. Repair depends on crack size and location and may take one to two hours.
If a tank is old, do we replace it or repair it?
We repair if the crack is small and its location clear. Replacement is simpler but repair is cheaper and a modern tank may last years more.
How much does tank leak repair in Prince Abdul Majeed 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 Prince Abdul Majeed.
