Water tank waterproofing in Al Fakhiriyah, Riyadh

Al Fakhiriyah is a mid-rise apartment district in west-central Riyadh sitting just north of Ulaishah. Tanks are scattered across buildings of varying age. The neighbourhood is still growing, and some buildings are older than others. Hard water and ongoing construction nearby may cause vibrations and cracks. Leaks lose stored water and spread damp across tightly packed buildings.

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 Fakhiriyah

Al Fakhiriyah is a neighbourhood seeing ongoing construction at its edges, which can cause vibrations that crack tanks. The whole method is set out in the details of our water tank waterproofing service.

  • Buildings of varied age in one neighbourhood

    Al Fakhiriyah has old buildings and new ones standing side by side. Old tanks may need sealing sooner than new ones. Ongoing development means some blocks may be demolished and rebuilt, with new tanks not needing immediate sealing while old ones deserve priority.

  • Continuous building work causes vibrations and tank stress

    Construction and excavation near Al Fakhiriyah create vibrations reaching tanks. Existing cracks widen much faster when heavy works are nearby. A tank may seem sound until heavy digging starts and reveals hidden cracks.

  • Scattered shops may be damaged by leaks from above

    Al Fakhiriyah has scattered shops on main streets, sometimes directly beneath apartment buildings. A tank leak above a shop damages equipment and stock below. Traders cannot afford water loss or service interruption.

What's Included

A mid-rise apartment district in west-central Riyadh in an area of active development, with buildings of diverse age side by side.

  • Emptied and fully dried

    Draining in Al Fakhiriyah may involve multiple buildings, and coordinating with residents and ongoing construction may add time.

  • Cracks and leak points surveyed

    Cracks may be hidden or multiple due to vibrations from nearby work. Thorough inspection reveals scattered seepage points not obvious on first sight.

  • Surface prepared before coating

    Cleaning the surface of dust and deposits takes work, because ongoing construction deposits dust and grime onto rooftops.

  • Waterproofing applied in coats

    Coating is applied to a surface affected by vibrations. Extra coats may be needed to ensure coating protects against new fractures.

  • Full curing time

    Drying may take normal time, but surrounding conditions may affect duration because of construction dust and activity.

  • Fill test before handover

    Testing may reveal new seepage points caused by recent vibrations from adjacent construction.

Questions before booking

Does ongoing construction near Al Fakhiriyah crack tanks quickly?

Building and excavation beside Al Fakhiriyah cause vibrations that widen existing cracks. A tank may seem fine until heavy work starts and exposes hidden fractures, which then widen rapidly.

Does sealing differ between new and old tanks in Al Fakhiriyah?

New tanks may be stronger, but both need sealing. Old tanks may require extra preparation. The method is the same, but time and materials may vary by tank condition.

Should I seal the tank if heavy construction is coming soon?

Vibrations from heavy works will widen cracks. Sealing before work starts protects against the coming vibrations and prevents future damage.

Can a leak from one building affect a closely neighbouring building?

In a tightly packed district like Al Fakhiriyah, shared or very close walls can carry damp between adjacent buildings. Seepage may affect the neighbouring structure.

How long can I leave a small tank leak before it becomes major?

Even a small leak becomes significant in one or two years. Damp builds up and damage deepens. Starting sealing early saves money and time.

Can the tank be sealed while construction continues around the neighbourhood?

Ongoing building work does not stop sealing, but vibrations may affect coating quality. Choosing a window between heavy building phases is best.
