Water tank waterproofing in Uraidh, Riyadh

Uraidh is a new development on high ground in south Riyadh; the terrain is elevated, the soil sandy and building work continues around it. New tanks here fail fast because the ground shifts and buildings settle unevenly. Leaks start early in a home's new life, and sealing must happen quickly before seepage weakens the foundations.

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 Uraidh

New tanks here crack and seep fast because the high ground moves as ongoing building happens around them. Cracks appear in the first year after construction. The whole method is set out in our full account of water tank waterproofing.

  • Elevated ground and moving soil

    The terrain in Uraidh is high and the soil sandy. Buildings settle at different rates than tanks, and that difference opens cracks. A new tank may crack in its first year. Sealing must work on brand new tanks before the ground settles permanently and closes those gaps.

  • Ongoing construction nearby

    Continuous building around Uraidh homes causes vibration and pressure changes. New tanks do not handle these vibrations. Cracks appear fast and leaks start early. Waterproofing must be strong enough to handle ground movement.

  • Incomplete services and drainage problems

    Uraidh's essential services are still lacking. Drainage and sewers may not be established. Water pools around ground tanks. Sealing must protect the tank from water collecting around its foundation.

What's Included

Uraidh sits on a slope in south Riyadh, surrounded by ongoing construction and vacant plots. The soil is sandy and moisture can enter underground tanks easily on this elevated ground.

  • Emptied and fully dried

    Draining may be slow because the district's sewers are incomplete, and planning must account for slow drainage.

  • Cracks and leak points surveyed

    Cracks in new tanks are small but numerous, and some are hard to see until the tank is fully drained.

  • Surface prepared before coating

    The interior surface may be rough from fresh concrete, and cleaning must be deep before coating.

  • Waterproofing applied in coats

    Coats are applied to a tank that may still shift slightly as the ground settles, so the material must flex.

  • Full curing time

    Curing in new development must be careful because new water pressure may open fresh cracks.

  • Fill test before handover

    The fill test is slow and careful, watching for new seepage from cracks that may form.

The character of Uraidh

New development: ongoing construction and vacant plots between the homes

Uraidh is a new development and its tanks are new but on moving ground. Ongoing building nearby causes vibration. Waterproofing must withstand ground movement and vibration, not just water.

Questions before booking

The house is new and the tank is already seeping: is this normal in a new district?

Yes, it is common. New ground settles and the tank shifts with building movement. Small cracks start fast. Sealing stops them before they grow. Do not wait; early seepage gets worse quickly.

Construction continues on the neighbouring plot: do the vibrations make my tank leak more?

Yes. Vibration from digging and expansion worsens existing cracks. If your tank is already seeping, sealing will stop it even if vibrations continue.

The underground tank and water pools around the base: does water enter the tank from outside?

Yes, it can. Rainwater or drainage from neighbours may press on the tank from outside. Inside sealing protects against tank seepage, but draining water from around the foundation is also necessary.

The house is very new and services in the area are sparse: where do I find someone to seal the tank?

Direct contact is the way. The district is growing fast and services are expanding. Documenting the problem with photos helps agree on a solution.

Should I wait for the ground to settle or seal the tank now?

Seal now. Waiting means seepage continues and damage may deepen. Sealing now stops it. If new cracks appear later, sealing will not prevent them, but it will stop their seepage.

The tank cracked in its first year: will the cracks grow or stop?

Cracks may stop when the ground settles. But seepage from existing cracks will continue. Sealing protects against that seepage and stops it finally.
