Water tank waterproofing in Al Shifa, Jeddah

Al Shifa is a growing district in south Jeddah beside the Makkah Jeddah Expressway, mixing affordable apartment blocks, newer villas, multi-unit investment buildings and vacant plots. Tanks here rest on mixed building types: old, new, and transitional. Each type settles at a different rate as ground beneath stabilises. This uneven settling cracks tanks at the joints between old and new construction, so waterproofing must flex with the movement.

Why tank waterproofing protects your water supply

Al Shifa is neighbouring Al Ajawid, Al Nuseim and Al Samer, on ground near the expressway where recently graded earth still settles unevenly and older buildings lean.

Seal before a leak develops

In Al Shifa, different building types settle at different rates. This uneven settlement creates cracks at the joints. Waterproofing must be flexible enough to move with the building without the seal splitting.
Repair an existing slow drip

Joint leaks in a mixed district come from different building pressures meeting. Deep cleaning removes all debris from the joints, and waterproofing seals them from water and movement.
Keep drinking water free of debris

Heat expansion differs between old and new building. Flexible waterproofing layers distribute this different expansion and stop new cracks forming as temperature cycles.
Reduce maintenance over time

A tank in a growing district may need resealing after a year or two if construction around it continues. Inspection determines whether spot repairs are enough or a new full seal is needed.

What changes about water tank waterproofing in Al Shifa

Tanks in Al Shifa leak first from joints between old and new buildings. Uneven ground settlement means the tank may shift slightly, creating hairline cracks at the weakest points. For the whole method, see how we approach water tank waterproofing.

The first reason
Mix of old and new building types

Al Shifa is growing, some buildings are old and others brand new. Tanks rest on different foundation types. Old buildings may settle slightly, new buildings may expand. This different movement creates cracks in the tank. Waterproofing must accommodate this movement and not split under the stress.
The second reason
Recently graded ground is not yet stable

New apartments and villas in Al Shifa are built on recently levelled earth. This ground settles slowly over years. Tanks on unstable ground settle unevenly. This uneven settlement cracks tank walls. Flexible waterproofing allows the movement to happen without the seal splitting.
The third reason
Joints leak first under pressure

In a mixed district with multiple building types, joints between buildings leak first. These joints are under constant pressure from subtle movement. Deep cleaning and waterproofing must focus on sealing these joints completely.

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.

The character of Al Shifa

Mixed district: shops at street level with homes above them

Mixed Al Shifa means your tank may rest on old building, new building, or on the boundary between them. Each location faces different pressures from settlement and movement below. Waterproofing must be tailored to your tank's specific position and what the ground beneath is doing.

Questions worth asking first

Can a tank on recently levelled ground sink unevenly?

Yes, newly graded earth settles slowly for years. The tank may sink unevenly on one side. This uneven settlement cracks the wall on one face. Inspection determines whether ground settlement is still happening under your building.

Do different building types need different waterproofing?

Yes, old construction may need deeper cleaning, new construction may need thinner layers. A mixed district means careful inspection of each tank before deciding on the waterproofing method.

Do joints between buildings leak more than walls?

Yes, joints are under constant pressure from movement and settlement. Joints leak first. Waterproofing focuses on sealing these joints completely and stopping water at the point of maximum weakness.

What if I live next to vacant plots that are about to be built?

Construction on adjacent plots will shake buildings nearby slightly. Your tank may experience vibration and pressure from the work. Flexible waterproofing tolerates these vibrations without cracking.

Is a joint leak more dangerous than a wall leak?

Joint leaks let water through faster. The water runs down the shared wall and reaches adjacent buildings quickly. A joint leak can damage neighbours as well as your own property.

How often should a tank be inspected in a growing district?

Annual inspection is necessary during active development. Pressure and movement may cause new cracks. Regular inspection catches problems early before they become major leaks.
