Water tank sterilization in Al Souq Al Saghir Al Jadid Makkah
Al Souq Al Saghir Al Jadid is a new residential extension south of Jeddah, mostly empty plots and villas under construction. Tanks are sited on unstable earth with high salt content and heavy dust, making water foul quickly. Initial sterilization must remove sand, salt and dust carried by first-fill water from shallow wells.
-

How many hours the tank is out of service, told before we start rather than after we finish.
-
A first-draw flush

Why the job is different in Al Souq Al Saghir Al Jadid
The zone is very new with building ongoing and ground still unpaved earth, and dust and seasonal moisture accelerate water spoilage. The method is set out in full on Water tank sterilization in detail.
High-salt earth and unstable ground
The area is still in early development stages and ground is unpaved and unstable. Soil salt is very high and enters water through shallow wells and buried lines, so water from the tank is always cloudy at first.
Heavy dust from active building
Villas are under active construction and trucks and excavators raise dust daily. Dust enters tanks through openings or via water pumped from shallow wells.
Shallow well water with sediment
Wells here are relatively shallow and construction discharge affects them. First water from the tank after installation is grey or yellowish from salt and sediment.
The character of Al Souq Al Saghir Al Jadid
New development: ongoing construction and vacant plots between the homes
Al Souq Al Saghir Al Jadid is an emerging development zone with villas under construction and unpaved earth. Tanks face challenges from high salt, continuous dust and shallow water sources, so treatment needs stronger washing and faster cycles than in completed areas.
What we read inside the tank before anything starts
A new residential extension south of the Fourth Ring Road between Al Ukayshiyah and Al Judairiyah Al Jadid, along Ibrahim Al Khalil Road and Dhat An Nitaqain Street, with Wadi Uranah running through and mosques and government schools serving the first residents.
Sediment on the floor
Inspection of tank exterior reveals dust and sand on surface and openings, and salt water marks on outer walls.
The slime film on the wall
Inspection of first taps shows cloudy or yellowish water from salt and sediment, while later taps run cleaner.
Light and heat
Inspection of tank floor after emptying shows a thick layer of grey sand, salt and brown dust from shallow water sources.
The lining and any cracking
Moisture is very high here due to wells and seasonal irrigation in development projects, so ventilation after sterilization is essential.
The lid and the openings
Bacteria may form rapidly in shallow salt tanks, especially in corners and gaps where water pools.
What shows up at the tap
Chlorine smell may mix with salt and dust odours, and full flushing may take longer than in other zones.
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 South Makkah Sub-Municipality
South Makkah sub municipality is the belt of Crown Prince schemes south of Al Ukayshiyah, along the Al Laith road and the extension of Ibrahim Al Khalil Road to the Fifth Ring Road and the Non Muslims bypass. Most of it is still bare: granted plots awaiting houses, new villas standing alone, open building sites and unfinished paving and drainage. Wadi Uranah and its tributaries cross the low ground and hold water after rain, hills close it in, and rodents, reptiles and scorpions shelter in stacked materials and foundation pits before the neighbourhoods fill up.
Questions about this district
Why is well water from new wells here dirtier than in other areas?
The ground here is unpaved and unstable, and soil salt is very high. Shallow wells absorb excess water salt and dust from ongoing construction.
Does sterilization remove all salt from the water?
Sterilization removes suspended salt and sediment, but dissolved salt needs separate desalination. Sterilization focuses on the tank and pipework.
What if water stays cloudy after sterilization?
Cloudiness may come from other wells or deep salt layers. You may need additional filtration or well rehabilitation.
Does Wadi Uranah affect water quality here?
The wadi may affect groundwater levels but current supply comes from deep wells. The main issue is high soil salt in surrounding earth.
How many times should I sterilize in the first year?
Year one may need early sterilization and a second round three months later, as sediment accumulates fast from salt water.
Do villas under construction need different sterilization standards?
Yes. Tanks in active building zones need stronger sterilization and more frequent washing because dust and sand enter constantly.
How much does water tank sterilization in Al Souq Al Saghir 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 Souq Al Saghir Al Jadid.
