Water tank cleaning in Al Ajawid Jeddah

Al Ajawid is a quiet middle class district on elevated ground, a mix of villas, low rise apartment blocks and ground floor shops. The area is relatively new and well planned. Green spaces abound and schools are close by. One tank may serve villas alongside apartment buildings. Villas consume water constantly for gardens while apartment towers need stable pressure.

Why the job is different in Al Ajawid

Tanks here are relatively modern but water consumption varies widely between villas and towers. Sediment may accumulate fast if the tank is small for the area's demand. The method is set out in full on Water tank cleaning in detail.

The first reason

Villas with gardens and apartment blocks share one tank

The villa may run water constantly for the garden and fountain. The apartment tower consumes water in specific hours. The ground floor shop may draw water quickly. This mix makes pressure unstable.

The second reason

Irrigated gardens may drive water consumption very high

Al Ajawid has abundant gardens, trees and watered grass. Heavy consumption can lift sediment from floor and pipes. The tank may struggle to hold pressure.

The third reason

The new district has modern tanks but needs early care

The area is a relatively new planned scheme so tanks are new. But heavy consumption may cause sediment to build quickly. Frequent cleaning may be necessary in the early years.

The character of Al Ajawid

Mixed district: shops at street level with homes above them

Villas, apartments and shops share one tank, so cleaning must balance all their needs. The villa needs steady water for gardens and the apartment tower needs constant pressure. Balancing these demands takes careful planning.

Before treatment

The condition of the tank decides the method

A planned residential district on elevated ground combining villas and low rise apartments with commercial shops on ground floors, served by parks and modern amenities.

Fine brown sediment beneath shallow water

The layer on the floor

Sediment here may come from heavy consumption and irrigated gardens. Water may carry minerals from garden irrigation piping.

Light and algae

Algae may grow but the new district and good ventilation may prevent it. A sealed tank and good inlet filter are essential.

A damp concrete wall carrying a dark deposit

The deposit on the wall

Wall deposits may be light because the tank is relatively new. But heavy use can thicken them rapidly.

A concrete surface with a fine hairline crack

The lining and hairline cracks

Cracks are uncommon in new tanks. But pressure fluctuations can cause small leaks at joint points.

The lid and the access hatch

The lid is usually sealed and vents are protected. But periodic inspection is needed to ensure no air leaks.

The vent hole can admit dust from the gardens, and the overflow may discharge water from the irrigation system.

How we work

1
Inspect before the drain

Tank type and material, the condition of the lining, the depth of the sediment, the lid and the vent, and where the drained water will go. We agree the window without supply before anything is opened.
2
Drain, then lift the sludge

The water leaves through the outlet, then the layer beneath it is taken out by hand and by suction. That layer is the reason for the visit, not the water that ran out ahead of it.
3
High pressure wash

Walls, floor and the joint where they meet, with a brush wherever the film resists, then the wash water is taken out completely so nothing we lifted settles again.
4
Disinfect and put back in service

Disinfectant over every internal surface, left for its contact time and then rinsed out, followed by the refill, a first draw off at the taps, and a report on what was inside the tank.

What water tank cleaning includes

An inspection before the valve

Tank type, lining condition, depth of sediment, lid and vent, recorded before any water leaves.
Full drain and sediment removal

The water through the outlet, and the layer below it by hand and by suction until the floor itself is showing.
Pressure washing walls and floor

High pressure across the surfaces and corners, and a brush on anything water alone will not lift.
Disinfection after the wash

A disinfectant intended for drinking water tanks, named to you before it is used, left for its contact time and then rinsed out.
Refill and the first draw off

We refill, run the taps so the new water moves through the pipework, and tell you when it is ready to use.
A report and the next date

What was inside the tank, anything on the lid or the lining that needs repair, and a sensible date for the next clean.

Questions about this district

Our villa has a big garden and the adjacent flat says water pressure is weak. Why?

The villa may draw heavily for garden irrigation, reducing pressure to the adjacent flat. A stronger pump or second tank for the villa side may be needed.

The villa tap runs cloudy but the shop next door says the water is clear. Why?

The villa may draw from the lower tank section while the shop draws from the upper. Different consumption patterns lift floor sediment. Deep cleaning is necessary.

The tank is new but water turns cloudy quickly. What causes this?

Heavy consumption may lift sediment from pipes or the tank itself. Regular periodic cleaning may become necessary.

Do villa, apartment and shop need different cleaning schedules?

No, one tank has one cleaning cycle. But we may do deeper cleaning if the usage is very high.

Does Al Ajawid Park and the green spaces around the tank affect it?

The gardens may raise humidity around the tank, but do not affect the water inside unless the tank is very close or lacks a sealed lid.

The upper flat has cloudy water but the ground floor is clear. Why?

Pressure difference may cause this. Upper flats may draw from the lower tank section when pressure drops. Cleaning and network inspection are necessary.

How much does water tank cleaning in Al Ajawid 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 Ajawid.
