Water tank waterproofing in Al Shiraa, Jeddah
Al Shiraa is a northern district near the corniche with recent apartment buildings and villas, and its proximity to the sea means high humidity and salt-laden air. Waterproofing protects tank walls from absorbing moisture and salt, and stops algae growing inside the tank.
- Interior surfaces fully sealed
- Food-safe coating materials
- Cracks and gaps filled first
- Inspected before handover
Why tank waterproofing protects your water supply
The district lies between North Obhur, Al Amwaj, Al Yaqoout and Al Firdaws, close to Jeddah's corniche, and sea humidity affects every building and tank in the area.
-
Seal before a leak develops
Close to the corniche, sea humidity enters any crack in tank walls and weakens the concrete structure beneath it quickly, and may cause continuous seepage.
-
Repair an existing slow drip
Slow seepage leaves a damp patch on the ceiling or wall, and water contaminated with algae and salt drips down, making the area below the tank smell bad.
-
Keep drinking water free of debris
The applied materials protect against salt, moisture and algae entry, and reduce expansion and contraction from the gap between hot daytime sun and cooler nights combined with humidity.
-
Reduce maintenance over time
Waterproofing a new tank in Al Shiraa extends its life considerably, and refreshing the seal every six to seven years is better than having to replace it.

What changes about water tank waterproofing in Al Shiraa
Tanks here show green algae quickly due to high humidity and sunlight, and interior tank walls become slippery and discoloured if left unsealed. For the whole method, see water tank waterproofing in detail.
-
The first reason
High sea humidity and salt carried on the wind
Near the corniche humidity never drops, and salt drifts on the breeze entering the tank. Groundwater may also carry salt, so waterproofing seals the pores and protects against all marine hazards.
-
The second reason
Rapid algae growth on interior walls
Humidity, sunlight and nutrients combine to produce green algae on tank walls. Waterproofing reduces wall moisture absorption and starves the algae of the damp conditions it needs to grow.
-
The third reason
Expansion and contraction from heat and moisture together
The district is relatively new and sits in direct sun, but high humidity adds extra pressure to the tank. Repeated cycles of expansion and contraction cause fine cracks in the concrete.

A sealed, smooth interior surface
The coating bonds to the concrete or fibreglass and fills any hairline cracks that were present.

Questions worth asking first
High humidity from the sea and sunlight produce algae on tank walls. This algae gives water a stale smell and odd taste. Waterproofing reduces moisture, so algae cannot grow.
Salt may enter on the wind or from groundwater, but does not give obvious salty taste. Waterproofing seals cracks and openings, significantly reducing salt entry.
In Al Shiraa, due to humidity and algae, cleaning the tank every three to four months helps maintain water quality and prevent odour.
In a new district like Al Shiraa, early waterproofing is better than waiting. New buildings may have construction defects, and waterproofing protects from the start.
Yes, ongoing building in neighbouring areas produces dust that may enter the tank. But interior waterproofing protects by stopping dust entering through the tank walls.
Annual tank inspection is important to confirm waterproofing is intact, especially in a marine environment. Signs of moisture or new cracks require additional maintenance.
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 Shiraa.
The duration depends on the tank size and how long the interior needs to dry before coating.
No special preparation is needed on the household's side.
