Water tank sterilization in Al Qararah Al Jadid Makkah
Al Qararah Al Jadid is a rapidly growing district south of Al Mudaa Al Jadid along Ibrahim Al Khalil Road, with new buildings under construction and freshly installed water tanks. The groundwater here runs deep and fine sandy soil causes rapid sediment buildup in tanks. New tanks need early sterilization before residents move in and commercial activity expands.

Why the job is different in Al Qararah Al Jadid
Most buildings here are under construction and tanks are either newly installed or require sterilization before actual use by early residents. The method is set out in full on the full Water tank sterilization page.
Sandy soil and rapid sediment buildup
The fine sandy soil around Al Qararah Al Jadid creates conditions for rapid mineral and silt accumulation in tanks. Open tanks during construction are exposed to dust and airborne particles from wind and construction activity.
New tanks and residual materials
Newly installed tanks may contain construction residue, rust from new piping and mineral deposits. Early sterilization prevents bacterial and algal growth before occupation.
Buildings under construction and temporary supply
Buildings under construction use temporary water sources and contamination occurs during finishing work. Tanks require full sterilization before residents move in.

Open in Google MapsWhat we read inside the tank before anything starts
A new development district south of Jeddah within Crown Prince schemes, divided into residential and commercial plots, bounded to the north by Al Mudaa Al Jadid and traversed by Wadi Uranah, with Jabal Labanah rising to the northeast.
Sediment on the floor
Mineral sediment builds from iron and magnesium-rich groundwater and fine sandy particles.
The slime film on the wall
Construction mud and rust from new copper and iron pipes settle rapidly to tank bottom.
Light and heat
Long water lines from the main tank to apartments and shops require complete disinfection throughout.
The lining and any cracking
High humidity and heat in the climate promote bacterial and algal growth in open tanks during construction.
The lid and the openings
The main tank sits at ground level or beside the building and heavy sediment settles to the floor quickly.
What shows up at the tap
Water clarity after sterilization returns to cloudiness if openings and gaps are not sealed during ongoing construction.
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 Qararah Al Jadid
New development: ongoing construction and vacant plots between the homes
A new-development district means modern tanks but exposed to construction contamination and dust. Treatment focuses on removing residual materials, rust and sediment before residents settle, with repeated sterilization if construction and finishing work continues.
Questions about this district
Do new tanks need sterilization before first use?
Yes. New tanks may contain construction residue, rust and silt from new piping. Early sterilization ensures water safety from the start.
Why do sediments accumulate quickly in Al Qararah Al Jadid tanks?
Fine sandy soil around the district supplies fine particles to groundwater. Open tanks during construction receive dust and airborne particles from wind and site activity.
Is one sterilization enough for tanks under construction?
It may not be. If construction and finishing work continues, a second sterilization may be needed before actual use begins.
What signs point to contaminated water in new tanks?
Cloudy or brown water indicates mineral sediment or rust. Foul smell or metallic taste points to bacteria or chemical reactions.
How do we handle new piping and initial rust?
We pressure-wash the tank and pipework to remove sediment and rust. Then we apply sterilizer and flush every line from the furthest point.
Is groundwater here safe without sterilization?
Groundwater may contain heavy metals and naturally occurring bacteria. Sterilization ensures it is safe for drinking and daily use.
How much does water tank sterilization in Al Qararah 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 Qararah Al Jadid.
