Why the job is different in Taybah

Water entering tanks in Taybah may carry sediment from the district's internal drainage or from seasonal flooding if the area is near the wadi bed. The method is set out in full on what Water tank cleaning involves.

The first reason

Wadi Obhur and seasonal flooding affect incoming water quality

Proximity to the wadi means water pressure may drop during the rainy season, and water may mix with flood water. The drainage network near the wadi can affect water quality supplied to tanks during rainy periods.

The second reason

Low lying ground and water pooling around buildings

Taybah sits in a low area where standing water collects around buildings during rain and may seep into internal networks. Tanks here may receive lower quality water during the rainy season.

The third reason

New network with vacant plots may source contamination

The district plan is new and vacant ground around new villas may harbour building waste or uncontrolled drainage. The new network may pass through land not yet fully settled.

The character of Taybah

New development: ongoing construction and vacant plots between the homes

A new development district near the wadi means the tank is exposed to seasonal changes in incoming water quality, especially during rainy periods. Cleaning alone is not sufficient, but requires understanding of seasonal flood cycles and their effect on the local water supply.

Before treatment

The condition of the tank decides the method

A newly established northern district on Asfan Road between Al Sawari and Al Bashair and Al Asalah, with land subdivisions and villa construction ongoing, located in a low lying area near the wadi.

Fine brown sediment beneath shallow water

The layer on the floor

Floor sediment may contain material from seasonal floods or elevated groundwater, differing in composition from material in inland districts.

Light and algae

Algae growth is faster because of extra moisture from low lying ground and wadi proximity.

A damp concrete wall carrying a dark deposit

The deposit on the wall

Wall deposits may show traces of groundwater if it rises during the rainy season.

A concrete surface with a fine hairline crack

The lining and hairline cracks

Hairline cracks may widen from external water pressure when groundwater rises during seasonal floods.

The lid of a water tank on a building roof

The lid and the access hatch

Lid seals may weaken from pressure changes caused by seasonal flooding and high water tables.

A plastic pipe leaving the exterior wall of a building

The vent and the overflow pipe

Vent openings may clog from excess moisture and fine sediment carried by seasonal flood water.

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 Dhahban Sub-Municipality

Dhahban sub municipality is the northern coastal strip of Jeddah, running from the north bank of Sharm Obhur up to the old village of Dhahban and Salman Bay. Its districts are recently built, with owner occupied villas and apartments, beach resorts and chalets on the shore, and land subdivisions still being developed. Nearness to the sea keeps humidity high all year, irrigated lawns in villas, resorts and district parks hold water, Wadi Obhur and the vacant plots between buildings give rodents and reptiles shelter, and the old fishing village of Dhahban gives the far north a rural edge.

Questions about this district

Do seasonal floods affect tank water quality here?

Yes. In rainy season water pressure may drop or supply may halt temporarily. If the district is near the wadi, water may carry sediment from the elevated water table.

Why is water cloudy right after heavy rain?

Seasonal rain raises the water table or causes excess water to seep into the network. Low lying areas collect water and contaminants can enter the supply.

Should we clean the tank before and after the rainy season?

It can help. Cleaning before rainy season ensures the tank starts clean, and a gentle cleaning after flooding removes any contaminants that entered from the supply.

Does a high water table affect the tank structure itself?

Yes. If the tank is underground and the water table rises, external pressure or seepage from below can occur during floods.

Does district drainage affect our tank water?

It can if the old drainage network runs near water supply lines. New networks are usually better protected but weak points may exist.

Should we empty the tank before heavy rains?

Not usually necessary, but if the area faces serious flood risk, partial emptying may reduce pressure on the tank and building foundations.

How much does water tank cleaning in Taybah 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 Taybah.
