Water tank cleaning in Al Huda Jeddah

Al Huda is a south Jeddah district formerly known as Al Tahlawi, east of Al Sanabil and north west of Al Taawun, with Al Laith Road near its western edge. Three storey apartment blocks set the pattern, new villas are going up on open plots, and Al Huda Mosque, Al Huda Park and a health centre serve it. Tanks here serve a mixture of old dense buildings and scattered new homes.

Potable-rated materials

Linings and disinfectants cleared for drinking water tanks, not general-purpose products.
You get the downtime first

How many hours the tank is out of service, told before we start rather than after we finish.
A first-draw flush

We run the first draw off after refilling, and the tank is not handed back until the water runs clear.
Ground and roof tanks

Villas, apartment blocks and premises that need a written record of each visit.

Why the job is different in Al Huda

Al Huda tanks carry very varied sediment: some from old building and some from new excavations, mixed together in unusual layers. The method is set out in full on what Water tank cleaning involves.

The first reason

Old apartment blocks and new villas on one tank cause very uneven use

Small old flats may house large families while new villas may sit empty or have small ones. Fluctuating use leaves irregular deposits and no clear cleaning pattern emerges.

The second reason

Al Laith Road nearby carries vibration that affects the tank

Al Laith is a hot road and pipes may pass through the subsurface nearby. Traffic vibration may open joints or cause slow leaks. Main line inspection is essential.

The third reason

Vacant land and excavations stir dust into vent holes

Building at the edges raises dust that settles on rooftops and vent openings. One tank may carry a mixture of old settled deposits and fresh construction dust.

Before treatment

The condition of the tank decides the method

The district is evolving fast with new homes beside old ones. Vacant plots and excavations stir dust and change usage patterns.

Fine brown sediment beneath shallow water

The layer on the floor

Floor layer holds a mix of old rust and new construction particles, needing strong wash with fine mesh filters that handle different particle sizes.

Light and algae

Algae grows slowly because water movement is unpredictable, but light through vent holes may cause fast growth.

A damp concrete wall carrying a dark deposit

The deposit on the wall

Tank walls carry mixed layers of rust, minerals and lime scale, and may need strong mechanical brush to strip all layers.

A concrete surface with a fine hairline crack

The lining and hairline cracks

Lining may have cracks from vibration and heavy use, and cracks may allow slow seepage from outside.

The lid of a water tank on a building roof

The lid and the access hatch

Covers and ports may be damaged from heavy use and vibration and need strong repair or replacement.

A plastic pipe leaving the exterior wall of a building

The vent and the overflow pipe

Vent holes may clog from construction dust and mineral salt, needing strong filters and regular cleaning.

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.

Landmarks of Al Huda

Al Huda Mosque and Al Huda Park bound the district north and east, and the health centre marks the centre point. Al Laith Road on the western edge separates Al Huda from Al Ajawid. Cleaning must account for these geographical markers.

Questions about this district

An old house and a new villa on the same tank. Does it need different cleaning?

One tank serves very varied use and cleaning must be strong for all of it. You may need more frequent cleaning because use is erratic.

Water pressure is weak at the new villa but strong at the old flat. Why?

May be different water distribution points or the tank filling slowly. Main line and tank inspection is needed to identify the cause.

Water holds brown and white particles mixed together. What are they?

Brown may be rust from old pipes and white from new construction or calcium salts. Cleaning must remove both with fine mesh filtration.

A strange object was in the tap. Did it come from the tank?

May be from tank or pipes. Fragments of building material or flaked rust may detach and travel through pipes. Tank and internal pipe cleaning is needed.

Does Al Huda Park next to the tank cause extra moisture?

Gardens raise moisture slightly around the tank but not dangerously if the tank is well protected. Watering the park may raise the water table slightly.

Does Al Huda need more frequent cleaning than an old established neighbourhood?

Yes slightly because of mixed old and new and ongoing building. Erratic use means more frequent cleaning cycles.

How much does water tank cleaning in Al Huda 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 Huda.
