Water tank sterilization in Al Naseem Makkah
Al Naseem is a planned modern district in the south east of Jeddah, containing villas and apartment buildings on an orderly grid, and tanks here serve a mix of residential units from large villas to apartment blocks. Water travels through a long distribution network from the Fourth Ring Road, leaving minerals and particles on tank walls.

Why the job is different in Al Naseem
Buildings here are relatively new and designed on an orderly grid, with tanks of varying sizes because residential units range from large villas to apartment blocks. The method is set out in full on the full Water tank sterilization page.
Luxury villas and apartments mixed on an orderly grid
Al Naseem has large villas with private tanks and apartment buildings with shared tanks. Tanks vary in size and design and some may be slightly older while others are very new.
Long distribution network from the Fourth Ring Road
Network water arrives from a distance via the Fourth Ring Road and Fatimah Al Zahra Street. Water leaves high mineral content on tank walls because of the long distance.
Hotels and hospital create variable demand
Hotels and the hospital along King Faisal Road provide changing consumption patterns. Tanks may face high pressure at some times and low pressure at others.
Landmarks of Al Naseem
Access to Al Naseem runs via the Fourth Ring Road and Fatimah Al Zahra Street which bound the district, with major landmarks such as Aisha Al Rajhi Mosque, the specialist hospital and hotels along King Faisal Road.

What we read inside the tank before anything starts
A planned residential district in the south east of Jeddah on the Fourth Ring Road and Fatimah Al Zahra Street, lying between Al Awali and Al Jamiah, with villas and apartment buildings on an orderly grid, and the large Aisha Al Rajhi Mosque, a specialist hospital and hotels along King Faisal Road as main public places.
Sediment on the floor
Mineral sediment accumulates from hard water arriving from a distance, and mineral content increases because water passes through old pipes in transit.
The slime film on the wall
Biofilm grows in both new and old tanks, but new tanks may start cleaner.
Light and heat
Supply lines may be long in large villas and apartment buildings and need thorough flushing to clear biofilm and minerals.
The lining and any cracking
Water may be warm in sun-exposed villa tanks, accelerating bacterial growth.
The lid and the openings
Tank floors and corners contain accumulated minerals and particles from the long network.
What shows up at the tap
Water sterilization requires flushing from the furthest taps to ensure the sterilant reaches every villa and apartment line.
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.
What is different about Al Aziziyah (Makkah) Sub-Municipality
Al Aziziyah sub municipality runs from the Bin Dawood markets to the Al Hada road and carries pilgrim traffic to Mina. Hotel towers and furnished apartment blocks fill and empty with the Hajj and Ramadan seasons, and the kitchens, restaurants and markets along Al Masjid Al Haram Road and King Abdulaziz Road leave food waste at every peak. Southwards the fabric loosens into villas and planned streets in An Naseem and Al Awali, then Al Abidiyah's campus and the old farms of Al Husayniyah, where Wadi Uranah holds water after rain and farm enclosures shelter rodents and reptiles.
Questions about this district
Do luxury villas in Al Naseem need different sterilization from apartments?
Yes. Large villas may need more frequent sterilization because individual consumption is higher. Apartment blocks may have more balanced consumption.
Why does network water leave more minerals in Al Naseem tanks?
Al Naseem is distant from the main water source. Water travels through a long pipe network. Minerals are shed from old pipes along the route.
Can the hotels in Al Naseem affect tank water in neighbouring villas?
Not directly. But if they share one water network, pressure fluctuations may occur that affect water quality.
What is the difference between sterilizing a villa tank and an apartment tank in Al Naseem?
A villa tank is smaller and needs less sterilizing agent. An apartment tank is larger and may need longer flushing.
Does the orderly grid in Al Naseem make tank access easier?
Yes. Streets are orderly and distances are clear. Access is easier than in older districts with irregular layouts.
Do newer tanks in Al Naseem need less frequent sterilization than old ones?
They may, if new tanks are better insulated and initially cleaner. But all tanks need periodic sterilization.
How much does water tank sterilization in Al Naseem 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 Naseem.
