Water tank cleaning and sterilising in Al Mursalat, Jeddah

Al Mursalat is a distant district in the far southeastern corner of Jeddah next to the Islamic Port and industrial city. The dust here is not light desert sand but heavy grey ash mixed with diesel and metal filings from lorries and warehouses. Water tanks accumulate this sediment rapidly and need more frequent and deeper cleaning.

Why a clean tank matters for your water supply

Al Mursalat sits close to the Jeddah Makkah Expressway and the boundary with Bahrah governorate. Apartment blocks are numerous and heavy lorry traffic is constant, with warehouses and workshops nearby. Dust here is grey and heavy with industrial matter, not pale desert sand.

Seasonal maintenance before peak use

Sediment in Al Mursalat is not simple light sand but heavy ash mixed with diesel and metal filings from nearby lorries, warehouses and industry.
After a long property vacancy

Algae grows at double speed in intense summer heat, particularly when the tank sits in direct sun on building roofs without shade.
Visible discolouration or unusual taste

After a flat closes or the resident is away, warm stagnant water contaminated with ash and salt becomes an ideal breeding ground for bacteria.
Landlord or building inspection requirements

Before hospitality season and Ramadan, tank cleaning removes ash, salt and algae and ensures safe drinking water with clean taste.

What changes about water tank cleaning and sterilising in Al Mursalat

Tanks in Al Mursalat corrode quickly from sea humidity, salt and heavy industrial dust. The hard grey sediment layer on tank walls hardens further in summer heat. For the whole method, see what water tank cleaning and sterilising involves.

The first reason
Diesel ash and metal filings settle faster than sand

Dust from lorry movement, warehouses and the airport is not light pale sand but heavy grey ash mixed with diesel and metal filings. This sediment settles on the tank floor and hardens quickly, requiring heavy scrubbing and thorough deep cleaning to remove completely.
The second reason
Sea humidity from the port speeds rust and corrosion

Al Mursalat is close to the Islamic Port, and sea humidity and salt penetrate the tank causing rapid internal rust. Summer heat warms the water and salt crystallises hard on tank walls in a thick layer that is difficult to remove without specialist methods.
The third reason
Summer heat accelerates algae and bacterial growth

High temperatures and direct sun on apartment rooftops warm water in the tank, speeding algae and bacterial growth dramatically. Warm stagnant water becomes an ideal growth medium for microorganisms, particularly in tanks left standing during residential absence.

What you have when the work is done

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

Does airport and port dust enter the tank more than in districts far away?

Yes, noticeably so. Al Mursalat is close to the Jeddah Makkah Expressway, airport and port, and heavy dust enters the tank faster and settles more than in distant quarters.

Does grey coloured tap water mean the tank is dirty with port and airport dust?

Usually yes. Grey water in Al Mursalat comes from heavy ash settled in the tank. Deep cleaning removes this sediment and restores clear water.

Does sea salt actually harden inside the tank or only on the outside?

Yes, inside the tank, especially in summer when water warms. Salt crystallises hard on tank walls in a thick layer requiring heavy scrubbing to remove.

Does summer heat speed up algae and bacterial growth in the tank?

Yes, significantly. Warm summer water provides an ideal environment for algae and microbial growth. Cleaning before summer and sterilisation prevents this bloom.

Does the smell of fuel and oil in water come directly from airport dust?

May come from airport dust or nearby warehouses and works. The smell indicates tank contamination with chemical matter. Deep cleaning and sterilisation remove the odour.

Should the tank be cleaned after a strong wind from the port and airport side?

Yes, absolutely. Easterly storms raise very heavy dust from warehouses and roads that enters the tank in large quantities. Cleaning after such events ensures safe water.

How much does water tank cleaning and sterilising in Al Mursalat cost?

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.
