Water tank sterilization in Al Nazlah Al Sharqiyah Jeddah
Al Nazlah Al Sharqiyah is a crowded popular quarter in south Jeddah alongside Al Nazlah Al Yamaniyah. Apartment buildings are old and tightly packed on very narrow streets. Tanks here suffer from heavy sediment because water passes through narrow old pipes and high residential density stresses the whole system.
-
Potable-rated materials

-
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.

Why the job is different in Al Nazlah Al Sharqiyah
Tanks here fill with sediment faster than other areas because of sustained high pressure on pipes and very old buildings. The method is set out in full on what Water tank sterilization involves.
Tight buildings on very narrow streets
Streets in Al Nazlah Al Sharqiyah are extremely narrow and buildings are crammed together. Tanks are small and narrow on roofs and hard to access. Narrow streets mean complex piping with low pressure.
Old narrow pipes beneath narrow streets
Water pipes under the narrow streets are very old and narrow bore. Pressure is low and sediment settles quickly in both pipes and tanks. Cleaning pipes requires strong abrasive methods.
High population density increases water demand and pipe stress
The population is very large and consumption is high. Pressure on the water system breaks pipes faster and sediment deposits more quickly. Hot and cold water cycling changes tank temperature rapidly.

Open in Google MapsWhat we read inside the tank before anything starts
A densely occupied popular quarter in south Jeddah adjoining Al Nazlah Al Yamaniyah, with Old Makkah Road forming the northern edge, Madain Al Fahd to the east and Al Quraiyat to the west. Older apartment buildings line narrow streets and the population is very high.
Sediment on the floor
White cloudy sediment collects in the tank because water moves slowly and pressure is low. Narrow pipes cause sluggish flow.
The slime film on the wall
Algae grows because tanks are on high roofs with intense heat and water stays a long time in the old tank.
Light and heat
Foul odour and earthy taste come from anaerobic bacteria growing in thick sediment and slow-moving water.
The lining and any cracking
Leaks from the tank and pipes let dirt and insects enter. Narrow streets and cramped buildings provide many leak pathways.
The lid and the openings
Pipes connected to the tank carry a thick layer of minerals and bacteria that must be removed by flushing from the furthest usage point.
What shows up at the tap
Sudden turbidity long after cleaning signals that pipes under the street are releasing stored sediment. It requires extra cleaning or pipe replacement.
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 Nazlah Al Sharqiyah
Apartment district: residential blocks, repeated floors and shared entrances
Al Nazlah Al Sharqiyah is a very old residential quarter on extremely narrow streets with tightly packed buildings. Tank access is limited and narrow streets make equipment movement difficult. Cleaning needs a small team familiar with tight lanes and old structures.
Questions about this district
Why do tanks in Al Nazlah Al Sharqiyah get dirty faster than in Al Nazlah Al Yamaniyah?
Population density is higher and streets are narrower, pipes are under greater stress and sediment settles much faster. Narrow streets make old pipe replacement very difficult.
Are pipes under narrow streets the main source of tank sediment?
Definitely. Pipes under high pressure in very narrow bore sections deposit minerals and particles rapidly. Water moves slowly through tight passages and sediment settles immediately.
Can we clean the pipes from inside the tank?
Only partly. We can clean the tank and nearby pipe sections, but pipes under the street need different methods such as high-pressure flushing from distant outlets.
How does high population density affect water quality?
High density means greater pipe stress, faster sediment deposits and faster infrastructure failure. Water stays longer in the tank and bacteria multiply more.
Is one sterilization per year enough here?
No, two or three times per year is better. Density and old pipes mean faster contamination and lower water purity.
Does the quarter's position between Madain Al Fahd and Al Quraiyat affect water quality?
Possibly. The source water quality may differ depending on the main supply point. Al Nazlah Al Sharqiyah may receive water from different sources.
How much does water tank sterilization in Al Nazlah Al Sharqiyah 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 Nazlah Al Sharqiyah.
