How a tank is cleaned
- Closing the valve and emptying: the water is pumped out, and part of it can be kept for non-drinking use.
- Removing sediment: mud, sand and rust collected on the floor.
- Washing walls and floor: with brushes and pressurised water, until algae and the slimy film are gone.
- Extracting the wash water: no dirty water is left in the tank.
- Disinfection: with a disinfectant made for drinking-water tanks, left for the time the product requires.
- Rinsing: with clean water until the smell of the disinfectant is gone.
- Check and refill: the float valve, lid and pipes are checked, then the valve is opened.
Rooftop tank cleaning in Jeddah
A rooftop tank sits in Jeddah’s direct sun, so its water warms and algae grow faster, especially if the lid is loose and lets in light and dust. It is easier to clean than a ground tank because it is smaller, and starts from SAR 92.
- Fibreglass: washed with soft brushes that do not scratch its surface.
- Plastic (polyethylene): checked for cracks and fading.
- Steel: rust is removed, and sealing or replacement is advised.
- Lid and float valve: checked, and the lid secured.
Ground tank cleaning in Jeddah
A ground tank is larger and deeper, and sediment from tanker and mains water builds up on its floor; if it cracks, water from around it can seep in. The technician goes down with confined-space equipment, and cleaning starts from SAR 208 for a flat’s tank and SAR 325 for a villa’s.
Water tank disinfection
Washing removes what can be seen, and disinfection deals with what cannot: bacteria and algae. A disinfectant made for drinking water is used at a concentration worked out for the tank’s size, and the tank is then well rinsed. The tank is not refilled before rinsing, and the first fill is not used for drinking if the smell of disinfectant remains.
Tank types and what suits each
| Type | What marks it out | What its cleaning needs |
|---|---|---|
| Concrete | Strong and large, but porous | Cracks checked, sealing where needed |
| Fibreglass | Light and rust-free | Soft brushes, hairline cracks checked |
| Multi-layer plastic | The most common on roofs | Lid and sun fading checked |
| Stainless steel | Does not react with water | A non-scratching cleaner without concentrated chlorine |
| Galvanised steel | Old and prone to rust | Rust removed, replacement advised |
Why do tanks in Jeddah get dirty faster?
- Heat: warm water is ideal for algae and bacteria.
- Tanker water: it carries sand and sediment that settle on the floor.
- Salts: they deposit on the walls as a limescale layer.
- Dust and humidity: they enter through any loose lid.
- High groundwater in some districts: it seeps into a cracked ground tank.
Signs your tank needs cleaning
How often should a tank be cleaned in Jeddah?
Every 6 months for household tanks. Jeddah’s heat and humidity speed up the growth of algae and bacteria, and tanker water carries more sediment. Rooftop tanks exposed to the sun and tanks filled by tanker need the shorter interval.
| Tank | How often |
|---|---|
| Rooftop, in the sun | Every 4 to 6 months |
| Household ground tank | Every 6 months |
| Buildings, mosques and schools | Every 3 to 6 months |
| Restaurants and hotels | Every 3 months |
Tank insulation company in Jeddah
A concrete tank is porous, so water leaks out and salts and groundwater seep in. Insulation seals the pores and cracks with a layer that does not affect drinking water. The tank is cleaned, dried and its cracks treated before sealing, and left to cure before refilling.
| Type | What it suits | Starts from |
|---|---|---|
| Cementitious | Sound concrete tanks | SAR 1,110 |
| Epoxy | Higher protection and a smooth, easy-to-clean surface | SAR 1,665 |
| Combined | Old tanks or ones with many cracks | SAR 2,310 |
Tank leak detection and repair
- Signs of a leak: a high water bill, a tank that drops while shut, or damp around it.
- Detection: with devices that locate the spot without breaking anything.
- Repair: cracks injected and joints treated, then sealing.
- Testing after repair: the tank is filled and its level watched.
Cooling and heat-insulating a rooftop tank
Water in a rooftop tank in a Jeddah summer becomes too hot to shower with, and that same heat speeds algae growth. There are three remedies: a shade over the tank, an insulating jacket wrapped around it, or a sun-reflective coating. They are fitted after the tank is cleaned, and priced on request by its size and number.
Tank repair and maintenance
Tanks for buildings, mosques and hotels
Large tanks are cleaned at an agreed time so residents are not left without water for long, with a larger team and stronger pumps. They start from SAR 740 for buildings and mosques and SAR 1,385 for palaces and hotels, and a regular contract every 3 to 6 months suits them best.
Safety when working inside a tank
A ground tank is a confined space with little ventilation. A technician never goes down alone: a colleague stays at the hatch, the tank is aired before entry, and no product that gives off fumes is used inside. This is why owners are advised not to clean a ground tank themselves.
After cleaning: keeping the tank clean
- Secure the lid: light feeds algae, and an open hatch lets in dust and insects.
- Fit a filter on the water inlet.
- Ask where the tanker water comes from.
- Shade the rooftop tank or insulate it against heat.
- Write the cleaning date on the lid.
Common mistakes in tank cleaning
| Mistake | What it causes |
|---|---|
| Chlorine without measuring | Smell and taste in the water, and metal corrosion |
| Washing without removing sediment | Cloudiness returns with the first fill |
| Refilling without rinsing | Disinfectant residue in drinking water |
| Scented household cleaners | Foam and a smell that is hard to remove |
| Leaving the lid open afterwards | Contamination returns within days |
