Water tank waterproofing in Al Dhubbat, Riyadh

Al Dhubbat is a quiet, established residential district in central Riyadh with shops on the ground floor and flats above. Buildings here are relatively old with shared walls, and tanks can seep from wear or the natural shifting of older structures. Internal sealing stops leaks at the source rather than patching them on the surface.

Why a tank needs sealing, not patching

  • Water you store stays stored

    A lined tank keeps the water it holds instead of feeding a slow leak into the slab.

  • The damp stain has a cause

    The wet patch on the ceiling or wall below a tank is the symptom, and the tank is usually the cause.

  • Safe to hold drinking water

    The materials we apply are rated for potable water, so the tank is safe to drink from once it is back in use.

  • Proven before you rely on it

    We do not hand a tank back on trust.

Why the job is different in Al Dhubbat

In old districts, party walls are often already damp from earlier leaks, so sealing a tank must stop new water entering before dampness damage spreads further. The whole method is set out in the water tank waterproofing overview.

  • Natural movement of old buildings and wear

    Older buildings in Al Dhubbat move naturally through seasons and years. This movement opens new cracks in tanks and widens old ones. Surface repairs split quickly with building movement, but internal sealing follows the tank's motion and stays tight.

  • Shared walls and dampness that spreads fast

    Al Dhubbat is a mixed district of very close buildings. When a tank leaks, moisture travels into party walls and reaches neighbours. Old masonry absorbs dampness quickly, and internal tank sealing cuts off this transfer at the source.

  • Shops below and residential flats above

    Ground floor shops sit below residential flats. If a flat's tank leaks, dampness seeps down to the shop below and damages goods and equipment. Internal sealing protects both the flat and the business beneath it.

What's Included

Al Dhubbat is a relatively old district of close-set buildings with shared party walls. Tanks suffer from natural movement in old foundations and dampness that spreads easily between adjoining buildings.

  • Emptied and fully dried

    In mixed districts like Al Dhubbat, tanks may sit above shops, so drainage must be handled carefully to avoid disrupting business below during the process.

  • Cracks and leak points surveyed

    Older buildings may hide cracks, and thorough inspection before sealing finds every leak point even if it is very small.

  • Surface prepared before coating

    Interior surfaces of older tanks need deep cleaning of rust and mineral scale before waterproofing is applied.

  • Waterproofing applied in coats

    Sealing in old buildings is applied in careful coats, with attention to the building's natural movement so the seal does not crack.

  • Full curing time

    Tanks in old districts need longer complete drying time because dampness may already be deep in the building's masonry.

  • Fill test before handover

    Before refilling, the tank and surrounding walls are tested to confirm the leak has completely stopped.

Questions before booking

If I rent a flat in this old district, does the tank need sealing?
If the tank is leaking, yes. Renting does not change the need. But first agree with the owner about who pays before the work begins.

Will dampness already in the district walls disappear after sealing?
Old dampness dries slowly over time. But sealing the tank stops new water entering, and walls will gradually regain their balance as they air out.

Are newer plastic tanks better than old concrete ones?
Both need sealing if they start to leak. Newer plastic tanks may last longer, but sealing protects either kind from leaking and can avoid replacement.

What if the apartment block has several flats with separate tanks?
Each tank can be sealed independently without affecting others. However, sealing all of them together saves cost and ensures the whole building is protected.

Do the nearby mosque and park get affected by tank sealing?
No, sealing happens inside the tank only. It will not affect the surroundings or public facilities like the mosque and park.

How often should the tank be inspected after sealing?
After sealing, an annual or two yearly inspection is enough. But if you notice new leaking, contact us immediately.
