Why the job is different in Muad

Muad tanks carry varied use from homes, apartment flats and mosque traffic, and the moderate humidity and balanced usage make cleaning less severe than heavy commercial districts demand. The method is set out in full on Water tank cleaning in detail.

The first reason

Villas and apartment blocks share a single tank

Muad holds villas alongside apartment blocks, and a single tank may serve both. A villa uses less water but mixed usage deposits different sediment types that purely residential tanks do not.

The second reason

Close mosques raise usage at certain hours

Al Aqeel, Hunayn and Sheikh Nasser Al Assaf mosques are closely spaced, and ablution and use spike at prayer times. This creates fluctuating pressure on the tank.

The third reason

Tanks outside the Haram see stable average use

Muad sits far enough from the Haram that it does not face Hajj surges like districts closer to the sanctuary. Usage is more steady than areas nearer the Haram.

Muad on the map

Muad sits about 2 km from Sharai and about 2 km from Salam.

Before treatment

The condition of the tank decides the method

A relatively complete built district just outside the Haram boundary between Al Khadra and Al Sharai, with villas and apartments along Al Qadisiyah Road, a close spread of mosques and Al Sharai Park.

Fine brown sediment beneath shallow water

The layer on the floor

The floor layer in Muad tanks is light to moderate because usage is balanced, and needs regular removal every four months.

Light and algae

Algae grows at moderate speed here because humidity is moderate and light is limited, and good ventilation helps prevent excessive growth.

A damp concrete wall carrying a dark deposit

The deposit on the wall

Tank walls carry a light layer of varied sediment, and need moderate pressure washing and good disinfection.

A concrete surface with a fine hairline crack

The lining and hairline cracks

Plastic lining in Muad tanks is relatively new and intact, and hairline cracks are rare if the tank is well installed.

The lid of a water tank on a building roof

The lid and the access hatch

Tank lids rust slowly here because humidity is moderate and sea salt is distant, and may last many years.

A plastic pipe leaving the exterior wall of a building

The vent and the overflow pipe

The vent opening and overflow pipe are relatively clean and need regular inspection but do not require very frequent 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.

The character of Muad

Mixed district: shops at street level with homes above them

Mixed district means the tank serves villas alongside apartment blocks, and mixed usage deposits different sediment types. Nearby mosques raise usage at certain times, but overall use is more stable than in heavy commercial districts.

Questions about this district

Water in Muad turns cloudy again just days after tank cleaning?

The tank serves villas and apartment blocks together, and mixed usage deposits different sediment types. We clean every four months or so.

Does mosque traffic actually affect the tank water quality?

Yes, ablution and use spike at prayer times and raise pressure on the tank. We may advise extra cleaning before Ramadan.

Does a villa tank need more cleaning than an apartment block tank?

A villa uses less water but its smaller tank accumulates sediment proportionally faster. Tank size and usage pattern matter more than building type.

Does excavation work around Al Sharai Park affect the tank water?

Excavation and building raise dust, and water may be affected if vents are left exposed. If building is active nearby, more frequent cleaning may be wise.

How often should a tank in Muad specifically be cleaned?

Every four months or so, because mixed usage and the nearby mosques add moderate pressure. Six months might work if usage is lighter.

Our relatively new tank smells strange. Is this normal?

Muad tanks are often newer, and smell may come from fresh plastic. Good cleaning and disinfection before use is needed.

How much does water tank cleaning in Muad 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 Muad.
