Water tank waterproofing in Al Murqab, Riyadh

Al Murqab is an old popular district on the bank of Wadi Al Batha, sitting just outside the walls of old Riyadh. Buildings are very close together and lanes are narrow, and tanks seep from age and dampness coming from the wadi's proximity. Internal sealing stops leaks before moisture spreads to the buildings pressed close on every side.

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 Murqab

In old districts on wadi banks, tanks face water pressure from below and above at once. Leaks here are not just surface cracks but groundwater entering from beneath. The whole method is set out in our notes on water tank waterproofing.

  • Wadi Al Batha proximity and high water table

    Al Murqab sits right on the wadi bank with groundwater very close. Tanks are under water pressure from beneath and above. This double pressure causes rapid cracking and constant seeping. Internal sealing protects against groundwater pressure from one direction.

  • Very close buildings and old shared walls

    Al Murqab's buildings are extremely close with thin, old party walls between them. When a tank leaks, moisture travels rapidly into shared walls and reaches neighbours. Old masonry absorbs dampness fast. Internal sealing cuts off leaks at the source.

  • Architectural heritage and weak old construction

    Al Murqab's buildings are very old and built by older methods. Tanks may be primitive and foundations very weak. Internal sealing protects what remains of the structure without needing to rebuild.

What's Included

Al Murqab is a very old district of tightly packed buildings and narrow lanes on the wadi's bank. Dampness from Wadi Al Batha affects every old tank, and groundwater sits very close to the surface.

  • Emptied and fully dried

    Tanks in Al Murqab may be very old and weak, so drainage requires great care to avoid further structural damage.

  • Cracks and leak points surveyed

    Cracks and leaks are often multiple due to groundwater pressure, and thorough inspection finds every location.

  • Surface prepared before coating

    Interior surfaces need deep cleaning of algae and deposits that grow from constant dampness from the wadi.

  • Waterproofing applied in coats

    Waterproofing is applied in strong coats to withstand water pressure from every direction in the wadi zone.

  • Full curing time

    Old tanks need very long complete drying time due to high humidity from the wadi environment.

  • Fill test before handover

    Before refilling, the tank is tested under full water pressure to confirm no leaks from groundwater pressure.

Questions before booking

Does wadi dampness enter the tank from underneath?
Yes, nearby groundwater presses on the tank floor. Internal sealing protects against water entry from any point in the tank.

Do very old buildings need different treatment?
Yes, old construction may be weak. We inspect the tank and building before starting, and choose a method suited to the structure's condition.

If party walls are already damp, who pays to fix them?
Old dampness is shared responsibility. Sealing stops new water, and old dampness will dry over time. But fixing current damage may need agreement between neighbours.

Is Al Murqab Market close to residential tanks?
In Al Murqab, market and homes are mixed. Tanks may sit above shops or beside them. Sealing protects both.

Do seasonal wadi floods affect the tanks?
Rare floods may affect tanks very close to the wadi bank. Internal sealing protects against water pressure from any source.

Can a tank be sealed in an old district without demolition?
Yes, internal sealing needs no demolition or outside work. The work happens inside only.

How much does water tank waterproofing in Al Murqab cost?
It is set after we have seen the job, because the price follows the size of the place, its condition and the time the work takes. Send a photo and a description on WhatsApp and we will give you an estimate before we reach Al Murqab.
