Al Faisaliyah is an old central residential quarter in northern Jeddah with King Fahd Road running through it. It contains dense apartment blocks and scattered villas, and tanks here are old with heavy sediment buildup. The hospital and banks and restaurants on Sari Street need very clean water. Sterilization involves deep cleaning, high-pressure washing and complete disinfection to serve all users.

Why the job is different in Al Faisaliyah
Apartment buildings in Al Faisaliyah are very old and their tanks need deep cleaning; the hospital and restaurants on Sari Street require water meeting high purity standards. The method is set out in full on our Water tank sterilization service.
Dense residential blocks with large shared tanks
Al Faisaliyah contains very old apartment blocks with hundreds of flats in a single structure. Each building has a large shared tank serving fifty to one hundred apartments, with heavy sediment building on the floor.
Hospital, banks and restaurants on Sari Street
Bugshan Hospital, banks and restaurants on Sari Street need very clean water to strict standards. The hospital especially needs pristine water for medical procedures and sanitation.
University campus and student housing
Jeddah University campus in Al Faisaliyah houses hundreds of students and staff. Large tanks serve academic buildings, labs and student canteens with very high daily demand.

A densely built old residential quarter in northern Jeddah with King Fahd Road passing through, containing apartment buildings, villas, Bugshan Hospital and numerous banks and restaurants along Sari Street.
Sediment on the floor
Heavy sludge and thick deposits on the large tank floor need powerful mechanical removal and very high-pressure water cleaning.
The slime film on the wall
Algae and biofilm on old tank walls need vigorous scrubbing and strong chemical disinfection to prevent rapid return.
Light and heat
Long lines from one tank to hundreds of apartments carry slow-forming sediment needing flushing from every tap.
The lining and any cracking
Continuous water flow from apartments, hospital and restaurants means the large tank is under very high use pressure.
The lid and the openings
The old tank may have uneven flooring or small cracks where sediment accumulates in pockets and corners.
What shows up at the tap
Water after sterilization needs complete flushing from the furthest apartment and furthest tap in hospital and restaurants to ensure high quality.
How we work
-
1
Inspect and record the condition
We open the hatch and work through what the tank is made of and how big it is, how deep the sediment lies, the state of the lining, whether the lid and the overflow seal, and whether there is a crack that has to be repaired before any sterilizing.
-
2
Drain and lift the sediment out
The water goes out, then the silt and sand are lifted off the floor by suction rather than pushed toward the outlet, because pushing them sends them into the house pipework and the heater.
-
3
High pressure wash
Walls, floor, corners and the area around the outlet, until the slime film is completely gone. This is the step that makes the sterilizing after it mean anything.
-
4
Sterilize, rinse, then return to service
The sterilizing agent goes onto the walls, the floor and the underside of the lid and is left for its contact time, then we rinse, refill and run the furthest tap until the whole line is clear.
What water tank sterilization includes
-
A recorded inspection
Material, capacity, sediment depth, the state of the lining, the lid and the overflow, all before any work begins.
-
Draining and sediment removal
The water out, and the silt and sand lifted off the floor instead of being pushed into the outlet and the house pipework.
-
High pressure washing
Walls, corners and around the outlet, until the biofilm that no disinfectant penetrates has gone.
-
Sterilizing the internal surfaces
A sterilizing agent meant for drinking water tanks, applied to the walls, the floor and the underside of the lid, and left for its contact time.
-
Line flush and aftercare
Rinse, refill and a flush from the furthest tap, when the water is usable again, and what to change in the filter afterwards.
-
The next cycle
We agree the right interval for your tank from how it is filled, how much sun it takes and the condition of the lid.
The character of Al Faisaliyah
Apartment district: residential blocks, repeated floors and shared entrances
Al Faisaliyah is a densely packed residential quarter with large old apartment blocks and massive shared tanks. Sterilization requires removing heavy sediment and deep sustained cleaning, especially because the hospital and restaurants demand very high standards.
Questions about this district
Why do Al Faisaliyah tanks need deeper cleaning than other quarters?
Al Faisaliyah tanks are very old and sediment has accumulated for decades. The floor holds thick sludge needing mechanical removal and very deep cleaning.
Does a hospital need higher sterilization standards than residential apartments?
Yes, hospitals need water sterilized to high medical standards. Sterilization must be stronger and flushing longer.
Can one tank serve fifty apartments with sufficient purity?
If regular cleaning and disinfection follow proper routine, yes. But if the tank is old and sediment heavy, higher standards and stronger sterilization may be needed.
Does high campus water use affect water quality?
Yes, high daily student use means sediment builds quickly. The large tank needs more frequent cleaning.
How often should large apartment building tanks in Al Faisaliyah be sterilized?
Large tanks in Al Faisaliyah need sterilizing every six months to a year depending on use and sediment. Very old tanks may need more frequent service.
Can thick sludge be safely removed from an old tank without damage?
Yes, we use careful mechanical cleaning and controlled water pressure. Metal tanks need extra care to avoid weakening the structure.
How much does water tank sterilization in Al Faisaliyah 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 Faisaliyah.
