Water tank sterilization in Al Hajlah Al Jadid Makkah
Al Hajlah Al Jadid is a modern scheme east of the Saudi German Hospital in south Jeddah, with new hotel-style and residential units. The site lies near Wadi Uranah and low-lying ground means high humidity and seepage that may affect water quality. Tanks need regular cleaning to remove sediment and algae that grow fast in this damp climate.

Why the job is different in Al Hajlah Al Jadid
The location sits near natural water sources and damp soil, buildings are brand new but face high ambient humidity and potential seepage from surrounding ground. The method is set out in full on what Water tank sterilization involves.
Wadi proximity and low ground elevate moisture
Wadi Uranah flows through low ground beside the scheme. Natural moisture from the wadi and potential seepage from surrounding soil affect tanks. Groundwater may be high here especially after rain.
Hotel units drive higher water consumption and turnover
Hotel-style and residential apartments consume significant water and smaller tanks may struggle to meet demand. Water sits longer in tanks and lines, increasing sediment and bacterial accumulation.
Clay soil and salt affect incoming water quality
Low-lying soil near the wadi contains clay and salt minerals. Groundwater and seepage may carry contaminants into tanks. Tanks need frequent cleaning.

Open in Google MapsWhat we read inside the tank before anything starts
A new residential and hotel-style scheme east of the Saudi German Hospital in south Jeddah, on the southern extension of Ibrahim Al Khalil Road, bordered by Al Ukayshiyah to the north. Wadi Uranah crosses the low ground nearby.
Sediment on the floor
Tank floor sediment contains mineral salts, clay and organic particles from atmospheric moisture and possible seepage.
The slime film on the wall
Algae and bacteria grow rapidly due to natural humidity and heat, appearing green or brown on walls.
Light and heat
Long pipes serving many hotel units need continuous flushing to remove sediment and algal buildup.
The lining and any cracking
Bad odour or cloudy water is common in hotel schemes because water sits longer in tanks and lines.
The lid and the openings
Seepage from the base or walls signals an insulation fault that may need structural repair in addition to sterilization.
What shows up at the tap
Water testing after sterilization is essential to confirm no residual contaminants or heavy metals from surrounding soil remain.
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 Hajlah Al Jadid
New development: ongoing construction and vacant plots between the homes
New hotel and residential units mean high water consumption and natural site humidity. Hotel tanks need intensive sterilization schedules and long, heavily-used lines require regular flushing.
Questions about this district
Does wadi proximity mean tanks are continuously contaminated?
Seepage from damp soil is possible if tanks lack proper insulation. Regular sterilization is essential, and foundation sealing and base integrity should also be checked.
Why does high humidity cause more tank problems?
Humidity creates ideal conditions for bacterial and algal growth. Tanks exposed to atmospheric moisture or seepage need more frequent disinfection.
Do hotel units need a different sterilization program?
Yes. High water consumption and constant flow mean faster sediment buildup. Hotel tanks need weekly or fortnightly cleaning.
Does soil salt content affect sterilization planning?
Yes. Saline or mineral-rich water deposits faster. Additional pre-treatment may be needed before use.
How do we handle groundwater seepage into the tank?
If visible seepage exists, the base and insulation must be repaired first. Sterilization alone will not solve it if seepage is ongoing.
Do heat and humidity affect water quality shortly after sterilization?
Yes. High humidity accelerates recontamination. Sterilized water loses effectiveness faster in damp and hot climates.
How much does water tank sterilization in Al Hajlah Al Jadid 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 Hajlah Al Jadid.
