Water tank waterproofing in Al Widad, Jeddah

Al Widad is a small residential district in east Jeddah near the University of Jeddah road, one of a cluster of neighbouring quarters with a simple character mixing popular housing and newer subdivisions. These small districts were built on land that is lower and damper than the northern and western neighbourhoods of Jeddah. Rooftop tanks here are affected by the baseline moisture in the soil and air, and waterproofing protects them from leaking that would widen cracks rapidly.

Why tank waterproofing protects your water supply

The district lies in the Taibah sub-municipality area on relatively low ground close to water table levels, which increases natural soil and air moisture throughout the year.

Seal before a leak develops

Cracks in damp-ground tanks widen quickly because of moisture cycles, so early sealing stops leaking before it becomes a major problem.
Repair an existing slow drip

Slow leaks in damp ground affect the building structure rapidly, and swift repair protects foundations from accelerated corrosion.
Keep drinking water free of debris

Water may retain excess moisture if the seal is incomplete, so additional protective layers are essential in low-lying damp districts.
Reduce maintenance over time

Older tanks in Al Widad benefit from sealing rather than replacement, but we inspect steel and concrete carefully because moisture may have already weakened the structure severely.

What changes about water tank waterproofing in Al Widad

Tanks here retain more moisture than in higher districts, and cracks widen faster because of repeated thermal and moisture expansion and contraction cycles. For the whole method, see how we approach water tank waterproofing.

The first reason
Baseline moisture from the ground weakens tank walls

Al Widad sits on damper ground than northern and western Jeddah districts. This moisture penetrates tank walls from outside and causes decay both internally and externally. Waterproofing protects interior walls from moisture and stops leaking from the start.
The second reason
Daily moisture cycles cause repeated expansion and contraction

Moisture rises at night and falls during the day, causing repeated swelling and shrinking of the concrete. This movement creates new cracks and widens existing ones. Flexible waterproofing moves with these changes and prevents new crack formation.
The third reason
Damp ground causes rapid rust on reinforcement steel in tank walls

Baseline moisture makes it easy for water to reach the steel bars inside tank walls. Rust causes swelling and rapid concrete breakdown. Waterproofing reduces moisture access and significantly slows rust formation.

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 Widad

Mixed district: shops at street level with homes above them

A mixed-use district on damp ground means vibrations from activity combined with high baseline moisture. Waterproofing must be both flexible and moisture-resistant. Periodic inspection is essential because moisture works against the seal rapidly.

Questions worth asking first

Why are tanks in Al Widad damper than in other districts?

Al Widad lies on lower ground close to groundwater levels. Baseline soil moisture rises into the tank through walls from underneath and the sides.

Does extra moisture in the tank cause bad smells or tastes in the water?

Moisture alone does not cause odour, but it enables algae and mould growth if light reaches the tank. Waterproofing reduces moisture and prevents the growth of living organisms.

Can waterproofing stop moisture from entering from the ground below the tank?

Waterproofing significantly reduces moisture entry. It may not stop it completely but slows it and protects the stored water from contamination.

Should the tank be raised above ground level before waterproofing in damp districts?

Raising the tank helps but is not always necessary. Good waterproofing protects the tank even if it sits on ground or a low foundation.

Does a tank in Al Widad need more frequent checks than other areas?

Yes. Annual or twice-yearly inspection is recommended. Extra moisture means the waterproofing is under greater stress.

Do moisture-related cracks appear quickly or slowly?

Daily moisture cycles cause cracks to appear at a moderate pace. Early diagnosis and waterproofing stop rapid development.

How much does water tank waterproofing in Al Widad 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 Widad.
