Water tank waterproofing in Al Adl, Jeddah

Al Adl is an older mixed district in southeast Jeddah between the Old Makkah Road and the expressway, with apartment blocks and villas on busy shopping streets. The Islamic Port and industrial city are very close by, and diesel smoke and metal filings settle continuously on roofs. Tanks in Al Adl carry a dual burden: old concrete and industrial pollutants. Waterproofing protects against both seepage and contaminated water alike.

Why tank waterproofing protects your water supply

An older southern zone close to the Islamic Port and industrial city, with aged concrete buildings, flat roofs and open stairwells. Diesel smoke and metal dust from lorries and workshops settles persistently on surfaces.

Seal before a leak develops

Old tanks in Al Adl near the port endure heavy industrial dust and constant humidity, so cracks widen quickly and water becomes contaminated easily.
Repair an existing slow drip

A slow leak from a tank in an industrial district carries metal dust and diesel, damaging ground floor walls and spreading foul smells throughout the building.
Keep drinking water free of debris

Water in Al Adl tanks needs regular testing to confirm it is free of industrial pollutants and heavy metals from the surrounding zone.
Reduce maintenance over time

Renewing an old tank in an industrial area is better than replacement if the concrete shell is sound, and waterproofing ensures no new industrial contamination enters.

What changes about water tank waterproofing in Al Adl

Tank walls in Al Adl collect thick layers of metal dust and diesel residue, and stay damp because port humidity penetrates hairline cracks continuously. For the whole method, see water tank waterproofing in detail.

The first reason
Heavy grey industrial dust on rooftops

Dust from the port and industrial zones carries metal particles, diesel and heavy oil. This dust does not dry or blow away easily - it sticks to damp concrete. In tanks, this dust enters through seams and leaves a dark layer at the bottom. Waterproofing prevents this dust from entering from the start.
The second reason
Port and sea humidity breaches the walls constantly

Sea humidity from the port direction keeps the outer concrete damp all year round. This weakens the concrete and opens cracks quickly. In summer, heat dries the surface but moisture remains inside the walls. This speeds concrete decay and allows polluted water to enter the tank.
The third reason
Old buildings and weak foundations widen cracks

Foundations of old buildings in Al Adl have settled and shifted over decades. This causes uneven subsidence and wide cracks in tanks sitting on top. A tank cannot escape cracks even if new, because the structure beneath it is moving. Waterproofing must tolerate this slow movement.

The character of Al Adl

Mixed district: shops at street level with homes above them

In an old mixed district like Al Adl near the port, a tank sits above apartments and shops needing safe clean water. Waterproofing protects both the residential flats from contaminated damp and the shops from water carrying metal dust.

What the tank looks like after

A sealed, smooth interior surface

The coating bonds to the concrete or fibreglass and fills any hairline cracks that were present.

No active leaks or seeping

Gaps that were allowing water to seep through the walls or base are filled and covered.

Food-safe lining throughout

Every applied material is rated safe for contact with drinking water.

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

Is water from tanks in Al Adl safe to drink after waterproofing and cleaning?

Yes, after thorough cleaning, comprehensive waterproofing and complete drying. Water stored under tight sealing does not pick up diesel particles or moisture from the air. We use health-certified materials approved for drinking water contact.

Does port humidity damage the waterproofing after it is applied?

Port humidity before waterproofing causes damage, but once waterproofing is sealed tight, external humidity no longer breaches the interior. Tank walls stay dry inside and safe from seepage.

Should the tank be cleaned multiple times before waterproofing in this industrial area?

Yes, usually two or three times. The first cleaning removes thick dust and oil residue. The second cleans seams and corners thoroughly. The third dries the tank completely before waterproofing begins.

Does waterproofing prevent rust forming on reinforcing steel in the tank?

Waterproofing stops moisture and oxygen reaching the steel, but if rust already exists, waterproofing slows rather than stops further development. Deep cleaning before waterproofing removes surface rust, and the seal protects against new rust forming.

How often must a tank near the port in this area be inspected afterwards?

At least once per year. Port humidity and industrial dust mean faster deterioration than in areas far away. Annual inspection catches emerging cracks before they become active leaks.

Can the tank be sealed if the foundation beneath it is weak and shifting?

Yes, waterproofing tolerates limited slow movement in foundations. But if movement is severe and cracks are very wide, foundation strengthening may be needed first. An initial survey determines whether the foundation is safe or needs repair.

How much does water tank waterproofing in Al Adl 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 Adl.
