Water tank cleaning and disinfection in Al Salihiyah, Riyadh

Al Salihiyah is an older residential quarter in central Riyadh just north of Ghubairah, dominated by mid-rise apartment blocks with shared water tanks on common roofs and flats served by shared entrance lobbies. Tanks here serve dozens of residents with different water needs at different times of day, drawing from ageing supply pipes close to Al Bathaa Road and King Faisal Road, two of the city's busiest thoroughfares.

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 Salihiyah

Shared tanks in the apartment buildings here serve large populations, and hard water leaves visible scale on glass and stone surfaces throughout. The whole method is set out in our notes on water tank cleaning and disinfection.

  • Old apartment blocks with shared tanks

    Al Salihiyah is a quarter of older residential apartment buildings with flats, shared entry lobbies and a shared tank on the roof. One tank may serve fifty to one hundred people with varying water demand throughout the day, from morning showers and cooking to midday lulls and evening use.

  • Aged infrastructure and old piping

    Supply pipes main and branch in Al Salihiyah are very old, some iron and heavily rusted or concrete and cracked. This affects incoming water quality and deposits strange sediment in the tank that shows as cloudiness or odd tastes.

  • Heavy traffic and exhaust dust

    Al Salihiyah sits near Al Bathaa Road and King Faisal Road, two of the city's most crowded streets with constant vehicle movement. Diesel exhaust and road dust settle on every rooftop and their smell enters tank vents, especially noticeable in tank water if cleaning is delayed.

What's Included

Al Salihiyah is an older quarter in central Riyadh between Al Bathaa, King Faisal and King Abdulaziz Roads, with mid-rise apartment blocks containing flats and small shops on main streets within the dense historic urban core.

  • The tank drained completely

    Complete draining of the shared tank in Al Salihiyah removes old water where sediment from aged pipes accumulated and bacterial colonies grew.

  • Sediment removed from the floor

    Sediment removal from the floor includes mineral deposits, rust particles and debris from iron corroded piping.

  • Walls and ceiling scrubbed

    Scrubbing walls and ceiling removes bacteria and algae colonies that grew from moisture and heat on tank surfaces.

  • Disinfected with an approved product

    Disinfection with an approved product eliminates harmful microbes and leaves the water safe for all residents to drink and cook with.

  • Full contact time before rinsing

    Full contact time before rinsing ensures the disinfectant reaches every tank surface and kills bacteria causing taste and smell complaints.

  • Rinsed and refilled

    Final rinsing and refilling leaves the tank ready for use by all building residents.

Questions before booking

We rent a flat in a shared building. How often should the common tank be cleaned?
The shared tank needs cleaning at least every six months. More frequent cleaning may be necessary if you notice cloudiness or odd tastes in the tap water or smell from the pipes.

My neighbour says the shared tank has never been cleaned. Does this affect my flat?
Yes. If the shared tank goes uncleaned for long periods water quality suffers for all residents. Coordinating with building management to schedule tank cleaning is important for everyone's health.

The water smells odd as of today. Where could this smell come from?
Smell may come from bacteria and algae inside the tank or from old pipes with corrosion and rust. Regular cleaning and disinfection removes odours and prevents them returning.

Our dishes sometimes develop marks after washing. What causes this?
These are mineral deposits from hard water. They build up in the tank and inside pipes. Regular cleaning noticeably reduces this mineral scale on dishes and glassware.

In summer the water gets warmer and odd smells appear. Why does this happen?
Heat accelerates bacterial and algal growth inside the tank. Cleaning before summer arrives reduces this problem significantly and keeps water fresher through the hot months.

The tank is very old and water sometimes has a reddish colour. Should it be replaced?
Red colour comes from tank or pipe rust. Regular cleaning helps, but eventual tank replacement may be needed if corrosion becomes severe and affects water taste and colour strongly.
