Water tank waterproofing in Al Murabba, Riyadh

Al Murabba is an old historic district with closely set buildings and narrow lanes, home to Al Murabba Palace and the King Abdulaziz Historical Centre. Tanks here serve buildings of heritage value, and leaks threaten the walls, archives and displays inside.

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 Murabba

Tanks in this district leak slowly because old walls have been absorbing water for decades, so damp appears inside without warning. The whole method is set out in the water tank waterproofing overview.

  • Historic buildings require special care during sealing

    Al Murabba Palace and the King Abdulaziz Historical Centre hold valuable archives and exhibits. A tank leak could damage historical documents or display pieces. Sealing here is not just about water, it is about protecting heritage.

  • Narrow streets and closely packed buildings

    Buildings are so tightly built that damp from one tank travels easily to the next building. Shared walls absorb water horizontally, so the effect reaches deeper into neighbouring structures.

  • Sealing must last for years in heritage buildings

    You cannot open the walls of Al Murabba Palace every two years. Sealing must hold for many years without needing to be redone. The material is chosen to withstand time and moisture together.

What's Included

Buildings here are aged and packed closely, with tanks on roofs surrounded by historic walls that cannot tolerate creeping damp.

  • Emptied and fully dried

    Draining is done quietly and gradually so we do not disturb the building or its occupants, and water is moved to a safe temporary container.

  • Cracks and leak points surveyed

    Inspection focuses on weak spots in old walls and cracks that might threaten archives or valuables stored beneath.

  • Surface prepared before coating

    The old roof surface is cleaned with great care to remove all deposits and algae without damaging the original surface.

  • Waterproofing applied in coats

    Coats are applied carefully and slowly to ensure full bonding and prevent any section from lifting or peeling.

  • Full curing time

    Drying takes longer in old buildings because moisture sits deep in the walls and must cure thoroughly.

  • Fill test before handover

    Testing is strict here: we wait a full 48 hours before confirming no seepage before handover.

The character of Al Murabba

Historic district: close-set buildings, narrow lanes and ageing services

Government and heritage buildings demand a higher standard of care. A small crack could threaten valuable documents or rare displays, so sealing here is not optional: it is essential.

Questions before booking

Could a leaking tank reach archives stored below ground level?
Yes, if the archive sits directly below the building, creeping damp can reach it slowly over time. Proper tank sealing protects all that lies beneath from water damage.

Can we seal the tank without disturbing visitors or staff inside?
Yes, work happens on the roof, away from visitors and staff. We drain quietly and finish quickly to minimise disruption to the building's use.

Old walls are completely saturated with damp already. Will sealing help?
Yes, sealing stops the source. Even if walls are currently damp, stopping the new leak prevents fresh moisture from entering, and old damp gradually dries out.

Will the reliable sealing materials be safe around old antiques and documents?
Materials are fully approved and safe. After complete curing no smell or vapour is released that would harm artefacts or documents.

How often do tanks need resealing in a historic building?
Correct sealing lasts many years. You will not need to repeat the work unless the tank itself is damaged later.

Can we inspect the tank without opening any historic walls?
Yes, we inspect from inside and outside, all from the roof. We do not need to open any heritage walls to do the work.
