Water tank waterproofing in Hijrat Wadi Laban, Riyadh

Hijrat Wadi Laban is an old historic settlement in the Laban valley at Riyadh's western edge, with low, cramped, ancient buildings. Tanks here face pressure from high humidity caused by the valley's proximity and the leak worsens damp around the foundations. Reaching tanks inside a wadi means navigating tight lanes and steep slopes.

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 Hijrat Wadi Laban

Tanks in Hijrat Wadi Laban face continuous humidity from rising groundwater and the wadi lying close by. The whole method is set out in our notes on water tank waterproofing.

  • Groundwater and corroded foundations from constant damp

    The wadi valley floor means high groundwater and earth that is always wet. A leaking tank adds water to soil already saturated, and the extra moisture speeds foundation decay. Sealing stops the tank leak before it compounds the damage.

  • Old buildings and ongoing hydrostatic pressure

    Historic buildings at the wadi floor suffer constant pressure from groundwater. A leaking tank adds extra water that raises pressure on foundations and walls further.

  • Tight wadi lanes and difficult access on slopes

    The settlement sits inside a wadi valley with very narrow lanes and steep slopes. Moving equipment and materials needs special planning and care on descending roads.

What's Included

Hijrat Wadi Laban is an old settlement at the bottom of Wadi Laban where groundwater is high and the earth around buildings stays damp through most of the year.

  • Emptied and fully dried

    In Hijrat Wadi Laban, full draining may be difficult if groundwater is very high; additional pumping may be needed to clear the tank.

  • Cracks and leak points surveyed

    Cracks may come from hydrostatic pressure rather than age alone, and inspection must assess the pressure present.

  • Surface prepared before coating

    Surface prep requires very thorough drying because of high ambient moisture around the tank.

  • Waterproofing applied in coats

    The coating may take longer to dry because of humidity in the air and wet earth around the tank.

  • Full curing time

    Curing takes longer in a damp environment, and extra protection from moisture may be needed during curing.

  • Fill test before handover

    The fill test needs close monitoring because hydrostatic pressure may affect results; a follow up inspection after several days may be needed.

The character of Hijrat Wadi Laban

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

An old historic settlement in a valley wadi means the tank bears double pressure: from earth and wadi moisture outside and usage stress inside. The very humid environment means sealing is essential and drainage and ventilation around the tank may need additional protection.

Questions before booking

Does high groundwater affect how well the sealing will work?
Yes, drying the tank completely is harder. We may need extra drying time and additional drying fans before starting to coat.

If the tank sits under hydrostatic pressure from groundwater, will sealing protect it?
Sealing stops external water entering the tank. Hydrostatic pressure needs separate drainage. We may add a drain system around the tank to ease pressure.

Can water from the nearby wadi contaminate the tank after sealing?
No. Sealing prevents wadi water entering. Water inside the tank is fully protected from external wadi water.

In a very old quarter by a wadi, does the entire building need damp protection?
Sealing protects the tank only. Walls and foundations may need separate damp protection, but sealing the tank is an essential step.

How often should the tank be checked after sealing in such a damp environment?
Six monthly inspection is advised in this humid setting. High moisture may speed any minor damage.

Are Wadi Laban Road and surrounding lanes safe for moving heavy cleaning equipment?
Narrow, sloping lanes need care. We use light equipment and work gently to avoid damage to the road or neighbouring homes.
