Water tank sealing in Al Adl Jeddah
Al Adl is a mixed district combining apartment blocks, villas and commercial shops on busy commercial axes. Tanks here endure continuous stress from high water demand, intense heat and salt-laden moisture. Full sealing restores the tank to safe operation after years of thermal and pressure strain.

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 Adl
Tanks in Al Adl face sharp daily temperature swings because they sit exposed on busy commercial frontages, and leaks at joints and corners are very common. The method is set out in full on Water tank sealing in detail.
Tanks exposed to direct sun on rooftops
Most tanks in Al Adl are installed on building and villa roofs with little shade. Daily expansion and contraction creates cracks in the floor and walls, especially at corners and seams.
Pipe joints and poor sealing at entries
Inlet and outlet pipes pierce the tank walls without proper isolation. Water seeps around these joints regularly and causes foundation deterioration below the tank base.
Continuous pressure from high daily water demand
The district sees high water consumption from residents, commercial shops and medical clinics. Constant pressure on tank walls accelerates cracking and leaks.
Landmarks of Al Adl
Access to tanks in Al Adl runs via Old Makkah Road and the Jeddah Makkah Expressway. The district's main landmarks provide clear reference points for the treatment zone.

What we read before any material is opened
A mixed district in south east Jeddah between Old Makkah Road and the Jeddah Makkah Expressway, bordered by Al Farouq to the west, Al Fadl to the east and North Prince Fawaz to the south.
Cracking in the wall
The floor shows accelerated cracking and wear because tanks are open to direct sun and heat daily.
The floor to wall joint
Pipe joints and seals around entries need careful repair because constant pressure cracks the original seal.
The condition of the old lining
Corners, edges and floor-to-wall joints face higher stress from daily thermal movement.
Sediment and scale
Moisture and salt from coastal air speed surface corrosion inside the tank and top layers.
The pipe entries
Leaks usually appear at structural weak points: corners, joints and hairline cracks in the floor.
The hatch and the vent
Sterilisation is essential after sealing because mechanical work may leave bacterial traces or particles.
How we work
-
1
Inspect with the tank empty
We drain it and read the surface dry: whether the water leaves through a crack, a joint or a pipe collar, and what the outer face of the wall and the ceiling below are telling us. A level test with the valves closed separates a leaking tank from leaking pipework.
-
2
Clean and prepare the substrate
Sediment out, a high pressure wash, the loose old lining and the weak surface layer of the concrete taken back, then dried. The material grips sound substrate and nothing else.
-
3
Make the cracks and joints good
Cracks are chased out and filled with a repair mortar, a cove is formed where the floor meets the wall, and every pipe collar is treated on its own.
-
4
Lining, fill test, sterilisation
Successive coats, each run across the one beneath it, on the face the water touches. Then a full cure, a fill with the level watched, and sterilisation with the first fill run to waste before the tank returns to use.
What water tank sealing includes
-
Finding where the water leaves
Carried out drained and dry: cracks, joints, pipe collars and the outer face of the wall.
-
Draining and sediment removal
The last of the water and the settled layer on the floor come out, because a lining does not stick over sediment.
-
Cracks and joints made good
The crack opened and filled, a cove formed at the floor to wall junction, and each pipe entry worked separately.
-
Lining coats on the water face
More than one coat, each crossing the one below, in material made for drinking water tanks rather than roof waterproofing.
-
Curing, fill test and sterilisation
The material is left to cure, the tank is filled and the level watched, then sterilised and the first fill run to waste. How long the cure takes follows the material and the weather, and we tell you before the date so you can plan around the supply.
-
A follow-up level check
We come back once it is in service to read the level and check the outer face, because any remaining loss shows up then rather than on the day of the work.
What is different about South Sub-Municipality
The South sub municipality runs from the edge of Old Makkah Road down to Al Khumrah and the southern corniche. Dense residential districts sit beside new subdivisions such as Al Sanabil and Al Taawun, warehouse fringes such as Al Saruriyah and Al Sarawat, and an old seaside settlement at Al Quzayn. Open stormwater channels cross the housing, and the warehouses, the vegetable and livestock markets and the nearby Islamic Port and Industrial City give pests shelter, food and year round humidity. Pressure is greatest in the older quarters, where drainage networks are ageing.
Questions about this district
Why do cracks appear faster in Al Adl tanks than in other areas?
Direct sun exposure and intense heat cause constant expansion and contraction. High daily demand pressure adds stress to walls and floors.
Does a leak around pipes always mean removing and resetting them?
Not always. If the leak is surface-level, we remove the top layer around the joint and seal it tight. If deep in the wall, a more involved repair may be needed.
Is patching small cracks enough or must the whole tank be sealed?
Small cracks may signal a deeper structural issue. Full inspection determines whether patching suffices or complete sealing is required.
Does tank sealing affect water quality or taste?
No. The sealing materials we use are safe for drinking water and meet health standards. Post-sealing sterilisation ensures the tank is clean.
How does treatment differ between a villa tank and an apartment block tank?
Villa tanks are usually smaller and easier to access but face more heat exposure on open roofs. Block tanks are larger and more complex to treat but may have some shade protection.
How long does a full tank sealing take from start to return to use?
Time depends on tank size and surface condition. The process includes draining, cleaning, repair, sealing, sterilisation and may take one to several days.
How much does water tank sealing in Al Adl 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 Adl.
