Water tank waterproofing in Al Quraiyat, Jeddah

Al Quraiyat is an old, densely occupied residential district south of Jeddah. Apartment blocks stand close together, sharing entrances and often sharing a single rooftop tank that supplies multiple floors. Industrial dust and salt moisture from the nearby port find their way into tanks quickly, so the water must stay safe for many families at once.

Why tank waterproofing protects your water supply

Close to the Islamic Port and main haulage routes, the dust that settles here is not ordinary sand but a grey mixture of diesel fumes, metal filings and sea moisture that hardens on surfaces.

Seal before a leak develops

In old Al Quraiyat, leaks start from heavy dust accumulation, then widen under constant pressure from large volumes of water flowing at speed through one tank serving many residents.
Repair an existing slow drip

Algae grows rapidly in Al Quraiyat because dust, moisture and stagnant water in cracks create ideal conditions. Waterproofing halts the whole cycle by removing the cracks themselves.
Keep drinking water free of debris

Intense summer heat causes the tank and building structure to expand together, and compacted dust plus salt accelerate the wall cracking that results from this thermal stress.
Reduce maintenance over time

Resealing an old tank is the only practical solution in a dense district like Al Quraiyat, where tank replacement would mean months of disruption for dozens of families.

What changes about water tank waterproofing in Al Quraiyat

Shared tanks in dense apartment buildings here fail faster than villa tanks because the volume of water moving through at speed stresses any weak point in the walls. For the whole method, see water tank waterproofing in detail.

The first reason
Heavy industrial dust clogs and penetrates cracks

Port and road dust is not fine like desert sand. Heavy particles of diesel and scrap metal settle on surfaces and force their way into small cracks, sealing pores and accelerating seepage from damaged areas.
The second reason
One tank serves multiple families at once

In a residential block, one tank failure means contaminated water reaches dozens of homes at once. Continuous heavy use and pressure from constant high volume flow through old tanks speeds both seepage and the formation of fresh cracks.
The third reason
Sea humidity turns dust into an adhesive sludge

Moisture from the nearby port makes heavy dust stick to tank walls and set like mud. This compound blocks pores more effectively than dust alone and deepens the seepage from existing damage.

Landmarks of Al Quraiyat

Al Quraiyat sits between Al Thaalibah and the Nazlah quarters, and proximity to the College of Telecommunications and Electronics helps pinpoint the location. The team accesses the district via King Khalid Road or Al Falah Road depending on the building's address, and shared stairwells throughout the neighbourhood mean smooth coordination with building management.

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

Does heavy truck dust actually reach the drinking water supply?

Dust does not enter the water directly, but it clogs cracks and pores in the tank walls, causing moisture, bacteria and algae to accumulate behind the blockage and degrade water quality.

Are old tanks in apartment buildings weaker than new ones?

Yes, noticeably. Tanks built many years ago show visible cracks and corrosion. In Al Quraiyat, most are quite old and waterproofing gives them a second life rather than requiring complete replacement.

Can the tank be inspected without cutting water to all residents?

Stopping water to one tank affects every floor in the building. The team coordinates with building management to drain during set hours that minimise disruption. The whole job usually takes only one or two days.

Will residents and families notice a change in water quality after waterproofing?

Yes, immediately. The water becomes clear, tastes fresher and odours vanish. Children and household workers spot the change in colour and taste straight away.

Does population density in a larger building affect how quickly the tank fails?

Very much so. High occupancy blocks with hundreds of residents consume vast water volumes daily, placing constant strain and stress on the tank and accelerating both deterioration and new seepage.

Is the water safe to use while the tank is being waterproofed?

During waterproofing the tank is completely empty and drained. Water is not used until all stages finish and inspection passes. The team works with building management to keep the outage as short as possible.

How much does water tank waterproofing in Al Quraiyat 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 Quraiyat.
