Water tank waterproofing in Al Atheer, Jeddah

Al Atheer is a locality on the south eastern edge of Jeddah along the Jeddah Makkah Expressway, with lighter building density than central areas, newer homes and vacant plots mixed in. Its proximity to the industrial city and port means dust carries industrial contaminants: metal filings and diesel residue. Tanks here face different pollution than other districts, and waterproofing protects against these specific contaminants entering the supply.

Why tank waterproofing protects your water supply

Al Atheer sits administratively within Bahrah locality, positioned on the Jeddah Makkah Expressway near the industrial zone and the Islamic Port. Continuous heavy transport traffic moves through the area between port and factories.

Seal before a leak develops

In Al Atheer, industrial contaminants settle fast and may seal small cracks at the surface, but they do not stop deep seeping, and waterproofing stops new contamination from entering.
Repair an existing slow drip

Slow seeping from an industrially contaminated tank may take time to show obviously, but contaminants accumulate in the water quickly and become a health concern.
Keep drinking water free of debris

Thermal stress combined with acidic contamination creates double pressure on concrete, and cracks widen noticeably faster than in areas without industrial pollution.
Reduce maintenance over time

Tanks in Al Atheer need special protection against industrial contamination, and good waterproofing prevents years of contaminated water accumulation and accelerated degradation.

What changes about water tank waterproofing in Al Atheer

Tanks in Al Atheer contain dark sediment because of industrial contaminants, and water carries a faint diesel smell that may persist even after cleaning and refilling. For the whole method, see the full water tank waterproofing page.

The first reason
Metal filings and diesel residue settle on rooftops and tanks

Truck traffic from the port and factories leaves grey dust heavy with metal filings and diesel residue. This dust is heavier than ordinary street dust and settles fast on rooftops and tank covers. It enters the tank through any crack and deposits metal on the floor.
The second reason
Diesel contaminated water is unsafe and tastes bad

If diesel enters the tank, water becomes unsafe and develops an odd taste. Cleaning alone may not remove the taste because diesel leaves residue on tank walls. Waterproofing stops new contamination from entering, so the supply stays clean once sealed and refilled.
The third reason
Industrial contaminants accelerate concrete and steel degradation

Metal filings speed rust on reinforcing steel if they reach it through cracks. Acidic residue in diesel eats concrete faster than normal weathering. Tanks in Al Atheer deteriorate faster than in other districts because of contamination type, and sealing stops the acceleration.

The character of Al Atheer

Mixed district: shops at street level with homes above them

Simple shops at street level with homes above mean seepage travels downward directly into these commercial spaces. In Al Atheer, industrial contaminants may also enter shops. Waterproofing protects these ground floor spaces from moisture and contaminants flowing down from the tank above.

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

Could the water in Al Atheer contain industrial contaminants?

Yes, proximity to the port and factories means industrial pollutants may enter the tank. Metal filings and diesel residue may be present in the water. Testing reveals contamination, and waterproofing stops new contaminants from entering.

Will waterproofing remove the diesel smell from old water already in the tank?

Waterproofing stops new diesel from entering, but does not remove what is already there. Thorough cleaning before sealing is essential to remove old odour. After cleaning, sealing and refilling, new water will stay clean and odour free.

Should tanks in Al Atheer be inspected more often than other areas?

Yes, twice yearly inspection is sensible in Al Atheer. The team checks for early leakage signs and new contamination. Industrial pollutants may cause deterioration faster than in quieter areas.

Do cracks in Al Atheer tanks widen faster than in other districts?

Yes, acidic residue and metal particles attack the concrete. Combined with thermal stress, cracks widen noticeably faster. Waterproofing protection is especially important here to slow degradation.

Is it safe to drink water after waterproofing in such a polluted area?

Yes, after thorough cleaning, waterproofing, and full curing. Materials are food-safe and approved for drinking water contact. After sealing, new water will be clean and safe.

Should the tank be replaced rather than sealed if contamination is severe?

In most cases, waterproofing is sufficient. If concrete is severely damaged, the team assesses the situation and reports findings. Usually, sealing after cleaning protects the tank and extends its working life substantially.

How much does water tank waterproofing in Al Atheer 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 Atheer.
