Water tank cleaning in Al Shamiyah Al Jadid Makkah

Al Shamiyah Al Jadid sits on the Al Laith road as a new district of villas and apartment buildings where construction and vacant plots are still commonplace. Tank here may be brand new and never cleaned, or they sit unprotected while building dust settles freely through open vents and access points around the villa. The ground itself is unsettled: excavations and vacant land kick up silt and construction debris that drifts into the water supply.

Why the job is different in Al Shamiyah Al Jadid

When a new villa owner fills a tank for the first time, the water runs nearly black. Dust from nearby excavations enters through unguarded vent openings before anyone closes them. The method is set out in full on how we approach Water tank cleaning.

The first reason

New tanks have never been cleaned before use

Tank construction leaves cement dust, steel scale and concrete chips on the floor and walls. When an owner fills the tank for the first time the water runs black, and does not clear until the tank has been professionally cleaned and flushed repeatedly.

The second reason

Open ground around the villa lifts dust and sand

New subdivisions still lack paved streets throughout, excavations and ground levelling are underway, so construction dust enters through vent and access openings and fills the tank floor with fine sand and silt.

The third reason

The new supply network itself carries fresh debris

New metal pipes and joints were not flushed after installation, and factory residue and metal particles live inside the pipework. This debris enters the tank with the first water flow.

Before treatment

The condition of the tank decides the method

Ongoing building projects, unpaved ground and wide new streets lift construction dust and dirt towards the villas and their tanks throughout every working day.

Fine brown sediment beneath shallow water

The layer on the floor

New tank floors collect cement dust, steel reinforcement and concrete scraps from building and finishing work, requiring powerful suction and repeated flushing before the water is safe to drink.

Light and algae

Light enters the openings of unfinished new tanks, allowing algae to grow quickly. Cleaning removes this first algae layer and the biofilm beneath it.

The deposit on the wall

New tank walls carry a thin layer of cement and mineral salts. High pressure washing removes this layer and cleans the surface.

The lining and hairline cracks

Hairline cracks in properly built new tanks are uncommon, but ground movement from nearby excavations can cause small cracks that need monitoring.

The lid and the access hatch

Lids and access hatches on new villas must be closed quickly after filling. Cleaning includes removing accumulated dust from these openings.

Vent and overflow openings on new tanks lack insect protection or dust barriers. Cleaning includes these openings and installation of protective mesh if needed.

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.

The character of Al Shamiyah Al Jadid

New development: ongoing construction and vacant plots between the homes

A newly built district means villa and apartment tanks are new and possibly never used, but the surrounding dust and excavations contaminate them quickly. First time cleaning is critical and protection from external contamination is essential.

Questions about this district

We filled the new villa tank for the first time. Water is very cloudy. Why?

The new tank contains cement dust, steel reinforcement particles and concrete flecks from construction. New pipes carry factory metals and particulates. Professional cleaning and repeated flushing removes all of this.

The villa site is surrounded by open excavations and dust gets everywhere?

Vent and access openings on new tanks often sit unguarded. Dust enters directly into the tank floor. Cleaning is critical and protection from future dust entry is essential.

Water from the new villa tap runs reddish. What causes it?

New steel pipes have no protective coating, and oxygen in fresh water oxidises the bare metal in the first weeks. Professional cleaning and disinfection reduces oxidation.

Open excavations sit near the villa. Do they affect the tank?

Excavations kick up dust and may admit contaminated water after rain. If they sit close to the tank, water may enter through vent or access openings.

Does every new villa in this district need first time tank cleaning?

Yes. Every new villa needs cleaning and flushing after the first filling, particularly if the tank sat unguarded or unprotected before the owners moved in.

The villa and supply network are both new. Why does the water still run cloudy?

New pipes need extended flushing. The tank itself may need cleaning several times in the first weeks before the water runs completely clear.

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