Water tank cleaning and sterilising in Al Mursalat, Jeddah
Al Mursalat is a densely built residential district where apartment dwellers depend on rooftop tanks for water storage. Water has passed through ageing pipes that have accumulated mineral salt and sediment over years, and the tanks themselves hold layers of dust, debris and microbial growth. Full sterilisation ensures the water reaching each flat is clean and safe for drinking and cooking.
- Full interior scrub-down
- Sediment and sludge removed
- Drinking-water safe sterilant
- Hatch sealed after service
Why a clean tank matters for your water supply
Apartment blocks in Al Mursalat require large storage tanks on rooftops, and stored water is affected by heat, airborne dust and accumulated debris from ageing pipes.
-
Seasonal maintenance before peak use
Rooftop tanks in apartment blocks throughout Al Mursalat are exposed to airborne dust and debris from the dry climate and ageing pipes that run past industrial areas and expressways.
-
After a long property vacancy
Water stored in high summer heat becomes a breeding ground for microbes, and residents often notice colour or odour changes after weeks of intense heat.
-
Visible discolouration or unusual taste
Mineral salts from desalinated water settle slowly on tank walls, and these deposits make annual cleaning harder to complete if scale is not removed yearly.
-
Landlord or building inspection requirements
Approved sterilising agents ensure bacteria and disease-carrying pathogens do not reach homes, providing essential protection for families especially children and elderly residents.

What changes about water tank cleaning and sterilising in Al Mursalat
Tanks in this district are rarely cleaned on a regular schedule, and residents notice water quality declines noticeably after the hot summer months. For the whole method, see what water tank cleaning and sterilising involves.
-
The first reason
Mineral deposits have accumulated for years inside the tank
Desalinated and hard water leave white salt scale on tank walls, and these layers trap bacteria and reduce tank capacity. Mechanical scrubbing with approved cleaning agents and water removes all sediment completely.
-
The second reason
Dust and debris enter through ventilation holes and leaking covers
Tank covers on older apartment blocks are weak and do not fully seal out dust and insects. Cleaning includes filter washing, inspection of all openings and covers, and basic repairs to prevent re-contamination.
-
The third reason
Sterilising kills microbes and disease-carrying bacteria
Bacteria and microscopic algae thrive in warm standing water, and many cause digestive illness. An approved sterilising agent eliminates these organisms and remains active as water reaches each apartment.

Interior walls free of scale
The scrubbing stage removes deposited minerals and biofilm from every reachable surface.
Sterilant applied and flushed out
A drinking-water-safe sterilising solution is applied to all interior surfaces and then fully flushed before the hatch is sealed.
Hatch secured and sealed
The hatch is resealed after the final flush to prevent airborne dust and insects from entering the tank.

What is different about South Jeddah
South Jeddah is the working end of the city: the Islamic Port, the industrial city with its warehouses and workshops, and behind them older low rise districts such as Ghulail and Al Khumrah. The roads are built for lorries, and port and factory traffic runs through the night, so the dust that settles here is grey with diesel and metal filings rather than pale sand. Buildings are mostly older concrete with flat roofs and open stairwells that collect it. Sea humidity keeps it damp, and in summer it sets hard on ledges and cladding.

Questions worth asking first
Yes, the sterilising agent used is health authority-approved and safe for drinking and cooking immediately after treatment. Some residents prefer to run the water for a few minutes first as an extra precaution.
One deep clean per year is sufficient for most tanks, though large or very old tanks may benefit from twice-yearly cleaning. Initial inspection determines each tank's needs.
Sediment, debris and microbial growth are the source of off-tastes. Cleaning removes all of these, and water regains a clean, fresh taste.
Yes, deep cleaning requires entry and interior work. The crew follows strict safety protocols and uses full protective equipment throughout.
Cleaning does not change pressure. If pressure was low before cleaning, it will remain the same; cleaning improves water quality but not flow rate.
Initial inspection determines tank condition. Small cracks and minor leaks may be repairable, but major damage may require tank replacement.
It is set after we see the job, because the price follows the kind of work, the size of the space, its condition and the time and materials it needs. Send a photo and a short description on WhatsApp and we will give you an estimate before we reach Al Mursalat.
