Water tank waterproofing in Dhahrat Al Badiah, Riyadh

Dhahrat Al Badiah is a relatively elevated district in west Riyadh close to Wadi Hanifah and surrounding farmland. Tanks here leak slowly through old cracks, and dampness runs down villa and building walls into the foundation. The district is quiet and damage accumulates at a different pace than in dense areas.

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 Dhahrat Al Badiah

Tanks in elevated districts leak less often but when they do, damage runs deeper because the foundation absorbs water faster. The whole method is set out in the water tank waterproofing overview.

  • Elevation accelerates dampness to the foundation

    The district is elevated, which means water from the tank runs down into the foundation under the villa or building faster. Dampness does not linger in the walls, it drops straight down. Damage to the foundation starts at a faster pace. Internal sealing stops it before it ever leaves the tank.

  • Farmland and groundwater increase overall dampness

    Proximity to Wadi Hanifah and farms means groundwater sits high. The foundation may already be damp from below. When a tank leaks, seepage mixes with groundwater and damage doubles. Sealing protects the foundation from seepage water at least.

  • Villas and buildings here sometimes share a foundation

    Some villas and smaller apartment blocks share a common base. When one villa's tank leaks, the shared foundation suffers altogether. Surface patching does not protect a shared base. Sealing protects the shared foundation for all the adjacent homes.

What's Included

Dhahrat Al Badiah is relatively elevated and lies close to Wadi Hanifah and the surrounding farmland. It contains Dhahrat Al Badiah Park, several malls and mosques.

  • Emptied and fully dried

    The tank is drained completely. In the elevated district, the tank may dry faster than in other areas. Dry air in elevated zones helps.

  • Cracks and leak points surveyed

    Cracks are located carefully, especially around foundation sides. Cracks may be deep and old.

  • Surface prepared before coating

    The inside surface is cleaned carefully. Mineral deposits and algae are removed. Extra time may be needed if the tank is old.

  • Waterproofing applied in coats

    Paint is applied in coats. Four coats may be needed because cracks are old and deep.

  • Full curing time

    Curing is relatively fast in the elevated district. Weather is dry and air moves fast. Each coat is left to dry completely.

  • Fill test before handover

    Testing before filling is critical. Walls and foundation are watched. If nothing leaks, safe filling can proceed.

Questions before booking

The foundation below the villa is always damp from groundwater. Does sealing help?
Yes. Natural groundwater is not a problem. The issue is tank seepage which adds more dampness. Sealing the tank stops that leak at least.

The villas around us have damp foundations. Is ours leaking too?
It may be groundwater or it may be leaks. Check your foundation. If you find damp or dark patches under the tank, a leak is the cause.

New villas around us have never leaked. Why is ours leaking now?
New tanks may stay dry for years. But after eight to ten years, cracks start to show. Hard water speeds this up.

Can I put a waterproof membrane on the foundation instead of sealing the tank?
A foundation membrane protects against groundwater, but not against tank seepage running down from above. Sealing the tank is simpler and cheaper.

After sealing the tank, how long until the foundation is fully dry?
The foundation will start to dry immediately but may take weeks or months to dry completely. Groundwater may remain, but seepage dampness will clear.

Do I need a foundation inspection before or after sealing?
An inspection before sealing helps you assess damage. After sealing, check again in weeks to see improvement.
