Water tank waterproofing in Al Iskan, Riyadh

Al Iskan is a residential district in south Riyadh between the Eastern Ring Road and Kharj Road, built decades ago as government housing for state employees and now mixing villas, apartments and multi-unit blocks. Tanks here are old and repeated filling and draining from many units opens cracks, and hard water leaves heavy mineral deposits.

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 Iskan

Tanks in Al Iskan show growing seepage because of their age and continuous variable pressure from simultaneous filling and draining. The whole method is set out in our notes on water tank waterproofing.

  • Old tanks and repeated pressure stress

    Tanks built decades ago in Al Iskan hold concrete eroded by repeated pressure and damp, and repeated filling and draining from many units causes variable pressure that increases erosion. Sealing protects against the spread of existing erosion.

  • Villas and apartments with uneven pressure

    The district mixes villas and apartments, each fills and drains at a different rate, and shared tanks suffer uneven pressure. Cracks open, close and enlarge at different speeds.

  • Commercial traffic on Al Kharj Road

    Al Kharj Road beside the district carries heavy truck and vehicle traffic, and vibrations reach nearby tanks. Fine cracks open with vibrations and enlarge under pressure.

What's Included

An older government housing district mixing villas, apartments and blocks, tanks are old and face variable pressure from many units.

  • Emptied and fully dried

    Draining an old shared tank needs coordination with owners and residents, and drying takes time because old concrete is damp.

  • Cracks and leak points surveyed

    Checking cracks in an old tank focuses on pressure cracks, deep erosion and widening seams.

  • Surface prepared before coating

    Cleaning the interior of an old tank requires care to remove heavy deposits, bacteria and sand completely.

  • Waterproofing applied in coats

    Applying coats to an old tank requires long waiting between layers to ensure high strength.

  • Full curing time

    Complete curing and drying takes much longer for old tanks because of accumulated building damp.

  • Fill test before handover

    Testing before filling includes thorough checking of every crack, seam and corner in an old tank.

The character of Al Iskan

Mixed district: shops at street level with homes above them

Tanks in a mixed district like Al Iskan serve villas and apartments at different pressures, so sealing protects against leaks that cause damp harming shared apartments and the walls between them.

Questions before booking

Why do tanks in Al Iskan leak faster than in newer districts?
Tanks decades old hold eroded concrete, and repeated filling and draining from many units increases erosion and rapid cracks.

Is water from a shared tank safe to drink after sealing?
Entirely safe. After draining and cleaning all deposits and sand, and applying drinking-water-approved material, the water is safe.

Does a villa tank in Al Iskan leak less than an apartment block tank?
Villa tanks fill and drain more slowly than older government apartments, but variable pressure causes similar leak rates.

How long does sealing take in an older district like Al Iskan?
The work follows its normal schedule, but old tanks may need extra cleaning and longer drying.

Does sealing an old tank fix existing cracks or just prevent new ones?
Sealing closes all existing cracks and protects against new ones from future variable pressure.

After sealing, should old tank be checked yearly in Al Iskan?
Yes. Annual checking matters for old tanks to confirm the sealing strength holds against repeated pressure.
