Water tank cleaning and disinfection in Al Rimal, Riyadh

Why a tank needs regular cleaning

  • Safe water to drink and cook with

    Every glass your family drinks has passed through the tank, so any sediment or bacteria in it reaches the tap directly.

  • Scheduled, not reactive

    A roof water tank is one of the two things in a Saudi building that most reward a clean booked in advance rather than one prompted by a problem.

  • Riyadh dust never stops

    Dust here is fine, mineral and constant, and it settles into a tank far faster than it would in a coastal city.

  • Contact time we hold to

    Disinfectant does not work the moment it is applied; it has a set contact time before rinsing, and that is what actually kills bacteria.

Why the job is different in Al Rimal

The Dammam highway produces dust and vehicle emissions that enter tanks in Al Rimal, and the open desert beside the road carries fine sand on the wind. The whole method is set out in our water tank cleaning and disinfection guide.

  • Sand and dust from the open Dahna desert

    Al Rimal borders the open Dahna desert, and winds carry fine sand that enters tanks through ventilation openings. This sand accumulates on the floor and clouds the water.

  • The Dammam highway and exhaust emissions

    The busy Dammam highway beside the district produces dust and vehicle exhaust. This enters the tank and sometimes leaves an odour. A clean tank reduces this effect.

  • Severe dust storms and rapid sediment buildup

    Al Rimal is the first neighbourhood hit by dust storms coming from the Dahna. During windy seasons large amounts of sand and dust accumulate in the tank within days.

What's Included

Al Rimal lies in east Riyadh beside King Khalid International Airport and warehouses, with newer residential projects along Al Thumamah Road and the Dammam highway, with mosques and shops scattered through the area.

  • The tank drained completely

    Draining a tank in Al Rimal may contain fine sand and dust particles from the highway and desert, requiring careful draining.

  • Sediment removed from the floor

    Sediment removal from the tank floor in Al Rimal contains very fine sand, salts and material from exhaust, needing powerful scrubbing.

  • Walls and ceiling scrubbed

    Tank walls and ceiling may carry layers of dust and sand, requiring repeated scrubbing until smooth.

  • Disinfected with an approved product

    Disinfection with approved product is essential to kill bacteria from cloudy water and humidity, and the product needs full contact time.

  • Full contact time before rinsing

    Rinsing after disinfection must be repeated until every trace of sand, dust and chemical is discharged from the tank.

  • Rinsed and refilled

    Refilling happens slowly so pressure builds gradually, and we advise monitoring the first water until it runs clear.

The character of Al Rimal

Mixed district: shops at street level with homes above them

Al Rimal is a mixed district with villas and flats, and tanks may be shared in apartment buildings or independent in villas. Flats may need coordination between residents, while villas have freedom to choose cleaning timing.

What is different about East Riyadh

East Riyadh runs from King Abdullah Road and Khurais Road out past the eastern ring road towards Al Janadriyah. Al Rawdah, Al Naseem and Al Yarmuk are established districts of villas and mid rise apartment blocks, while Al Rimal, Al Munsiyah and Ishbiliyah are newer estates with more compact houses and lighter finishes. This side of the city faces the open desert and the sand belt of the Dahna, so it takes the first and heaviest share of every dust storm, and fine sand works into stairwells, balconies and window tracks all along the Dammam highway.

Questions before booking

My home in Al Rimal: the water is always cloudy. Why?
Fine desert sand enters the tank and clouds the water. This is normal in Al Rimal, especially during strong winds. Regular cleaning reduces this but may not eliminate it entirely.

The water smells odd, from the Dammam highway. Where does that come from?
It may be from highway exhaust or sediment in the tank. Tank cleaning and disinfection will remove any odour from the tank itself.

I have filters on the tank. Are they enough protection?
Filters reduce large particles but fine sand may pass through. Tank cleaning is essential alongside filters, especially after dust storms.

During dust season, when should I clean the tank?
During windy season you may need more frequent cleaning. We recommend cleaning monthly or every two months during dust storm season.

Does sand enter through the pipes or tank openings?
Mostly through ventilation openings. We recommend fitting filters on ventilation and closing any unnecessary openings.

How many times yearly should I clean my tank in Al Rimal?
At least four times yearly. During windy seasons you may need more. During calmer periods cleaning may be less frequent.
