Water tank sealing in Mushrifah Jeddah
Mushrifah is an inland district crossed by major roads: Madinah Road, King Fahd Road and Prince Majid Road. It holds many rental apartments, shops and medical clinics. Tanks serve large numbers of changing residents and clinics that require clean, sealed water.

Why the job is different in Mushrifah
Tanks in Mushrifah suffer from intermittent use because apartments are rented and residents change, so stagnant water causes rust and mineral deposits. The method is set out in full on the full Water tank sealing page.
Rental apartments with shifting occupancy
Rented units mean uneven use and water may sit in the tank for long periods. Mineral deposits build up and the lining corrodes from inside due to stagnant water.
Medical clinics demand sterile clean water
The hospital and clinics need water free from bacteria and contamination. Any leak or tank pollution directly affects patient safety.
Major roads cause constant vibration and stress
Heavy traffic on Madinah Road and King Fahd Road creates ongoing vibration. Tanks near these roads crack from continuous structural movement.

Open in Google MapsWhat we read before any material is opened
An inland district cut through by Madinah Road, King Fahd Road and Prince Majid Road, with rental apartment buildings, medical clinics and shops. Bounded by Palestine Street to the south and Gharnatah Road to the north, it contains Al Maghrabi Hospital.
Cracking in the wall
Visual inspection reveals white and brown deposits on tank walls from calcium and mineral buildup.
The floor to wall joint
Pipe joints need close inspection because deposits may clog outlets or rust around metal fittings.
The condition of the old lining
Inlet and outlet openings may be fouled with deposits and rust if water has been stagnant for long periods.
Sediment and scale
Trapped moisture beneath the tank promotes algae and bacterial growth in the lining if a small leak exists.
The pipe entries
Cracks may be small but vibration from nearby roads causes them to grow slowly and leak steadily.
The hatch and the vent
Bacteria and microbes thrive in stagnant warm water, especially in Mushrifah where heat is high year-round.
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.
The character of Mushrifah
Apartment district: residential blocks, repeated floors and shared entrances
A district of rental apartment blocks means tanks in closely spaced buildings with variable use pressure. Treatment must focus on deep cleaning and sterilisation because water may sit for long periods between occupants.
Questions about this district
Why do rented-apartment tanks fail faster?
Stagnant water and uneven use cause rust and mineral buildup. The lining weakens from chemical corrosion inside.
Does a tank leak affect patient safety at the hospital?
Yes, any water contamination can cause infection. A leak means contaminants from soil enter directly.
How often should tanks be inspected in a district like Mushrifah?
In areas with heavy and intermittent use, inspection every three months is needed to catch deposits and leaks.
Do vibrations from main roads actually crack tanks?
Yes, continuous vibration causes small tank movement and can open existing cracks or create new ones.
How do we clear mineral deposits in rental-unit tanks?
Deep cleaning and sterilisation are necessary. If deposits are heavy, pipes and outlets may need separate flushing.
Does sealing the tank solve contamination for medical clinics?
It improves it, but incoming water quality needs monitoring. Upstream filtration may be needed before the tank.
How much does water tank sealing in Mushrifah 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 Mushrifah.
