Water tank cleaning in Al Judairiyah Al Jadid Makkah

Al Judairiyah Al Jadid is a Crown Prince scheme close to Al Ukayshiyah, with Al Judairiyah Al Jadid Street as its spine and residential plots and new villas along it, between Al Souq Al Saghir Al Jadid and Al Hajlah Al Jadid. Wadi Uranah crosses the district, Jabal Al Raqid rises within it and the southern Haram boundary marker stands at its edge. Tanks here serve single villas scattered across open ground with building continuing in every direction.

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 Judairiyah Al Jadid

Al Judairiyah Al Jadid tanks initially hold white sediment from construction and manufacturing, then brown deposits from flood water after rain. The method is set out in full on our Water tank cleaning service.

The first reason

Dust from excavation and fill enters every tank opening

The scheme is new and building continues at the edges and centre. Heavy equipment stirs dust that settles on every surface. Vent holes and maintenance ports need very strong protection and filters need frequent replacement.

The second reason

Wadi Uranah is seasonal but floods bring moisture that persists

The wadi lies dry most of the year but floods carry rich silt water. Even if flood water does not reach the tank directly, rising groundwater from floods may seep through the lining. Post flood cleaning is essential.

The third reason

New single villas have new tanks but are surrounded by dust

The tank is new and clean but first water may carry deposits from new pipes and dust from the building site around you. First cleaning is very important as it sets the tank's behaviour for years ahead.

The character of Al Judairiyah Al Jadid

New development: ongoing construction and vacant plots between the homes

In a new development the new tank needs protection from constant dust and seasonal floods. First cleaning is very important and you may need special protection during building phases, and cleaning after every flood.

Before treatment

The condition of the tank decides the method

A new development with ongoing construction means constant dust and disturbed soil under the surface. Seasonal Wadi Uranah may bring silt laden floods and high ambient humidity.

Fine brown sediment beneath shallow water

The layer on the floor

Floor layer holds fine dust particles from construction and white deposits from new pipes, needing very strong pressure wash that does not settle easily.

Light and algae

Algae and green growth are rare because water is fresh and use is steady, but unprotected vent holes may trigger fast growth in one week.

A damp concrete wall carrying a dark deposit

The deposit on the wall

Tank walls are freshly painted and relatively new but smoothness may make fresh sediment stick very firmly once it deposits.

A concrete surface with a fine hairline crack

The lining and hairline cracks

Lining is new and usually sound but fast installed tanks may carry stress from installation itself and cracks may appear after the first dry season or flood.

The lid of a water tank on a building roof

The lid and the access hatch

Covers and ports are new but ongoing construction and strong wind gusts may cause vibration that opens gasket seals and need stronger resealing from the start.

A plastic pipe leaving the exterior wall of a building

The vent and the overflow pipe

Vent holes and overflow pipes are new but excavation makes dust penetrate everything and they may need very strong extra filters during intense building phases.

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.

What is different about South Makkah Sub-Municipality

South Makkah sub municipality is the belt of Crown Prince schemes south of Al Ukayshiyah, along the Al Laith road and the extension of Ibrahim Al Khalil Road to the Fifth Ring Road and the Non Muslims bypass. Most of it is still bare: granted plots awaiting houses, new villas standing alone, open building sites and unfinished paving and drainage. Wadi Uranah and its tributaries cross the low ground and hold water after rain, hills close it in, and rodents, reptiles and scorpions shelter in stacked materials and foundation pits before the neighbourhoods fill up.

Questions about this district

The house is new and the tank is new but water holds sediment. Where does it come from?

Sediment may come from tank manufacturing itself or new pipes or construction dust around the house. First cleaning must be very strong to remove it completely.

After light rain the tank water turns cloudy. Why?

Seasonal flooding may raise the water table around the tank and polluted water may enter from outside. The lining may have small cracks from new construction. Leak inspection is needed.

Humidity around the tank is very high a week after rain. Why?

Extra humidity may come from raised water table caused by the flood. The lining may absorb moisture or there may be small cracks slowly leaking water in from outside.

The tank is very new and we have used it only one month. Does it need cleaning now?

Yes. A new tank may hold manufacturing and installation residue and first water may carry particles. First cleaning ensures the tank starts perfectly and runs well for years.

Does Jabal Al Raqid next to the tank cause problems?

The hill does not cause direct problems but groundwater around it may carry different minerals. The hillside location may mean water is slightly more alkaline.

Does Al Judairiyah Al Jadid need more frequent cleaning than an old district?

Yes now, because of ongoing building, dust and seasonal floods. When the district fills in cleaning may become less frequent.

How much does water tank cleaning in Al Judairiyah 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 Al Judairiyah Al Jadid.
