Water tank waterproofing in Al Falah, Riyadh

Al Falah is a mixed district in north Riyadh on Uthman ibn Affan Road, combining universities, commercial facilities and residential villas and apartments. Tanks here leak through shared walls between flats, or from above shops. Dampness travels from one flat to its neighbour without pause.

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 Falah

Tanks in Al Falah leak faster than those in other districts because walls are shared and dampness travels quickly between homes and shops. The whole method is set out in the water tank waterproofing overview.

  • Shared walls carry dampness fast

    Your tank leaks above, and dampness climbs through the shared wall into your neighbour's flat too. Dampness in both flats at once strains relationships and contracts. Sealing your tank from inside protects your flat and your neighbour's flat together.

  • Commercial premises cannot tolerate disruption

    A shop below you is leaking onto its counter and ceiling. The owner may demand structural repair or even compensation. Sealing the tank stops the leak at the source. Surface repair takes time and fails again.

  • Cool mixed districts dry slowly

    In north Riyadh, humidity is higher than in southern districts. When a tank leaks, dampness does not dry quickly. Surface patches fail when the next humidity cycle comes. Internal sealing traps the water at the tank.

What's Included

Al Falah sits on Uthman ibn Affan Road with Imam Muhammad ibn Saud Islamic University and the Arab Open University nearby. The surrounding districts are all mixed use.

  • Emptied and fully dried

    The tank is drained completely. Inside walls are left to dry naturally. In a mixed district, this may take several days. Air from windows helps drying.

  • Cracks and leak points surveyed

    Cracks are located carefully on shared walls. There may be cracks on the boundaries between residential and commercial units.

  • Surface prepared before coating

    The inside surface is scrubbed with water and a brush. Mineral deposits are removed. In newer districts, the surface is usually clean.

  • Waterproofing applied in coats

    Paint is applied in coats. Each coat dries before the next. In mixed districts, three or four coats may be needed.

  • Full curing time

    Curing takes several days. In Al Falah, weather is cold in winter which slows drying. Full drying is confirmed before filling.

  • Fill test before handover

    Testing happens before filling. Walls are watched, especially shared walls. If nothing leaks, the tank is filled.

What is different about North Riyadh

North Riyadh is where the capital has grown fastest. Along the Northern Ring Road and King Salman Road, districts such as Al Malqa, Hittin, Al Yasmin, Al Narjis and Al Sahafa are largely new villas in light render, stone and glass, while the King Abdullah Financial District and the towers around Riyadh Front add curtain wall glass and marble lobbies. Beyond Al Arid and Al Qirawan the plots are still being built, so cement dust and fine sand from the open desert towards Banban settle on every surface, and the hard blended supply water leaves scale on glass and stone.

Questions before booking

My neighbour says my tank is leaking onto his ceiling. Does that happen often?
Yes. Tanks in shared walls may seep from the side. Dampness from your tank may climb up into your neighbour's flat through the shared wall. Sealing the tank solves the problem for both of you.

A shop below me is at risk from dampness from my tank. Am I liable?
That depends on the contract and local law. But the best thing is to stop the leak immediately. Sealing the tank solves the problem and protects you from possible claims.

How long until dampness clears from my neighbour's flat after I seal my tank?
It may take weeks. The shared wall needs time to dry. But no new dampness will form after sealing. Your neighbour's flat will dry gradually.

The flat above me had dampness, and now their tank is sealed. Will my ceiling dry?
Yes. Your ceiling will start to dry immediately. It may take several weeks to dry completely. After that you can repaint.

Could Al Falah split the tank into two smaller ones instead of sealing one large tank?
That is another solution but more expensive. Sealing one tank is cheaper, simpler and more reliable.

After the tank is sealed, will drinking water in flats around the tank still be safe?
Yes. The material is safe for drinking water. Water in all flats will be safe as it was before.
