Water tank waterproofing in Al Muruj, Riyadh

Al Muruj mixes shop fronts with residential flats in the same buildings, and tanks sitting on roofs or buried under courts face constant temperature and pressure swings across each day. Sealing the tank from inside protects stored water and the walls around it from the damp that rots plaster and concrete alike.

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 Muruj

Tanks in Al Muruj's mixed apartment blocks endure heavy, repetitive cycles of filling and draining driven by both commercial and residential use simultaneously. The whole method is set out in our full account of water tank waterproofing.

  • Double demand on shared apartment tanks

    Mixed residential and commercial buildings empty and refill tanks far more often than standalone family villas. Repeated expansion and contraction cracks concrete faster, and leaks spread quickly through commercial premises below the apartments above.

  • Hard water and older apartment pipe work

    Al Muruj's mid-age apartment blocks carry old metal piping that sheds scale deposits inside the tank. These deposits scrape tank walls, accelerate corrosion and make cracks deeper and faster to spread.

  • Shared maintenance and tenant coordination

    Tanks in mixed buildings need agreement from both residents and business tenants before work begins. Delays in approval mean leaks continue; early sealing prevents years of collateral damage to lower floors.

What's Included

Al Muruj is a mixed district where commercial and residential uses stack in the same building, and each structure holds tanks that need periodic sealing once leaks begin appearing.

  • Emptied and fully dried

    In mixed Al Muruj buildings, fully draining the tank takes longer because shops and flats may need small reserves of water kept until the last moment.

  • Cracks and leak points surveyed

    Cracks in these tanks are often multiple because of double demand stress, and finding each one before coating begins is essential to lasting results.

  • Surface prepared before coating

    Surface prep in mixed buildings requires careful removal of scale and algae that have built up in standing water trapped by the leak itself.

  • Waterproofing applied in coats

    The coating is applied in multiple layers with full drying between each, which takes time in Al Muruj because afternoon heat and cooler mornings affect curing speed.

  • Full curing time

    Full curing takes a week before refilling, and in mixed buildings both shops and residents must be notified of this schedule in advance to plan for temporary water shortage.

  • Fill test before handover

    The fill test applies steady pressure to confirm no seepage occurs, and in apartment blocks the tank is refilled slowly to maintain supply to shops and homes throughout the test.

The character of Al Muruj

Mixed district: shops at street level with homes above them

A mixed district means the tank serves multiple users at once: residents and shop tenants both depend on it. Sealing becomes essential to prevent supply cuts to either group, and coordinating work around both uses makes scheduling far more complex.

Questions before booking

Will sealing the tank reduce my water and electricity bills?

No directly, but it stops wasted water you have paid to pump and store. Water that leaks away meant running the pump repeatedly. Stopping the leak means fewer pump cycles, which saves electricity over time.

How many days will the tank be unusable during sealing work?

Typically two to three days from draining to the fill test. The tank returns to service once the coating has fully cured. The exact time depends on tank size and the number of cracks found.

Is drinking water safe right after the tank is sealed and refilled?

Yes. The product used is approved for drinking water storage. After the first refill, water is safe to use. The coating bonds completely and poses no risk to water quality.

Does the method differ for small roof tanks versus large underground tanks?

The sealing process is the same for both types. Small tanks may take slightly less time, but the quality and durability of the seal are identical regardless of tank size.

Will sealing stop the existing damp marks on the wall below the tank?

Sealing stops new leaks immediately. Existing damp in the walls needs separate drying once the water source is cut off. The moisture already there will gradually fade as it dries out.

Are there differences between sealing a shared building tank and a residential only building tank?

The sealing itself is identical. The difference is scheduling: mixed buildings require coordination with shops and residents about water cuts, which can be more complex than residential only arrangements.
