Water tank waterproofing in Al Hindawiyah, Jeddah

Al Hindawiyah is an old crowded quarter beside Jeddah Islamic Port, dating from the nineteenth century and divided by Al Dhahab Street into a section facing the port and a popular inland section. Ageing apartment buildings sit above many shops, and rooftops are so closely packed that a leak in one tank affects its neighbours immediately. Tanks here suffer intense port humidity and salt spray. Old structures and foundations near the sea make a leak a real engineering problem. Sealing is not a convenience here, it is essential protection for the entire neighbourhood.

Why tank waterproofing protects your water supply

Al Hindawiyah is an old crowded quarter beside Jeddah Islamic Port dating from the nineteenth century, with dense old apartment buildings above many shops and traditional markets, dominated by Al Dhahab Street and Port Street.

Seal before a leak develops

In old Al Hindawiyah adjoining the port, fine cracks form from intense salt moisture and foundations that cannot tolerate water.
Repair an existing slow drip

A leaking tank in this dense old quarter saturates multiple buildings through adjoining rooftops and shared pipework.
Keep drinking water free of debris

Salt moisture from the sea opens cracks in daily cycles, and seeping water deepens damage rapidly.
Reduce maintenance over time

An ageing tank in Al Hindawiyah can serve additional years after sealing rather than requiring replacement in a historically valued quarter.

What changes about water tank waterproofing in Al Hindawiyah

In old Al Hindawiyah, tanks sit on rooftops so closely packed that a single leaking tank affects neighbouring roofs and surrounding buildings. For the whole method, see water tank waterproofing in detail.

The first reason
Intense port humidity penetrates every hairline crack in the tank

Jeddah Islamic Port stands directly adjacent, and humidity laden with salt and spray comes straight from the water. Salty dew settles all night. Any hairline crack becomes a direct passageway for moisture and salt into the tank.
The second reason
Foundations near the sea fail rapidly when exposed to continuous moisture

Old buildings, stone foundations and weak concrete cannot withstand persistent moisture. Water accelerates stone crumbling and reinforcing steel rusts rapidly. The entire neighbourhood feels the structural damage.
The third reason
Closely packed rooftops transmit moisture from one tank to another

Al Hindawiyah is dense, rooftops touch or overlap, and rainwater and dew flow from tank to tank. A single leak affects multiple buildings.

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.

Questions worth asking first

Does port humidity travel directly into the tank through hairline cracks?

Yes. Salty dew from the sea arrives directly. Any hairline crack becomes an opening for salt and moisture to enter.

Does an old district with foundations near the sea need extra protection?

Yes, greatly. Old stone and concrete crumble quickly from salt moisture. Sealing the tank stops the water source before it reaches the foundations.

Do closely packed rooftops in Al Hindawiyah mean a leak spreads from one tank to its neighbour?

Yes. Rooftops are adjoining and water flows easily. One leak affects several rooftops.

Do shopkeepers in the ground floors complain of moisture from tanks above them?

Often. Moisture drips from above and walls rot. Shops suffer from goods damage and mould.

Are tanks in the old quarter itself old or have some been replaced recently?

Most are old but some have been replaced or repaired. Even new tanks suffer from intense salt humidity.

Does sealing the tank protect shops and flats from port moisture in the air?

Sealing stops water from the tank. But port humidity also comes from the air. Sealing addresses the problem at its source on the roof.
