Cementitious tank waterproofing in Al Salmaniyah First District

In Al Salmaniyah First District, concrete water tanks face salty groundwater and constant damp, so their walls crack and leak. Al Raya waterproofs the tank walls with a cementitious coat, stopping water entering and salt spreading.

What the service includes

What cementitious tank waterproofing includes

  • Checking the concrete tank walls to find cracks, pores and leak points
  • Cleaning the inner surface of dust, algae and residue from old coatings
  • Roughening the surface so the cementitious coat grips the concrete wall firmly
  • Treating fine cracks and structural joints before the waterproofing coat is applied
  • Applying the cementitious coat to the dampened wall with care at corners and edges
  • Reviewing the surfaces after application to confirm the coat covers the full wall area
How we work

From your call to a sealed wall

  1. 1

    Tell us about your tank

    Call or message us on WhatsApp, and describe the tank size, its location and what you notice: any damp or cracks in the walls.

  2. 2

    Preparing the concrete surface

    The walls are cleaned of dust, algae and old coating residue, then the surface is roughened so it takes the cementitious coat well.

  3. 3

    Treating cracks and joints

    Fine cracks and structural joints are treated first, because the waterproofing coat alone cannot close an existing crack.

  4. 4

    Applying the cementitious coat

    The cementitious material is applied to the prepared and dampened wall so it absorbs into it, and is worked again over edges and corners for full contact.

Why Al Raya

Concrete and cement work together

  • The coat bonds with the concrete tank wall
  • Works on damp walls that are hard to dry fully
  • Seals pores and penetrates the concrete from within
  • We treat cracks and joints before the coat goes on
  • We take your request by phone call or WhatsApp message
About the area

The service in Al Salmaniyah First District

Concrete tanks in a district like Al Salmaniyah First are often buried under a home or in the yard, and their walls absorb damp from the surrounding soil saturated with salty water. White salt marks on the inner walls, damp stains and fine cracks show the tank needs waterproofing. The team inspects the tank inside, finds weak spots, corrosion and cracks, cleans the surface and removes the damaged layer, then applies the cementitious waterproof coat that seals the pores and stops water and salt penetrating.

Al Salmaniyah First District is a district in Al-Ahsa governorate in the Eastern Province, close to Al Muhammadiyah District, Al Salmaniyah Second District and Ayn Najm District.

Tank walls absorb water from the base and sides together, so salts concentrate in the lower half of the wall.

Questions

Questions about Cementitious tank waterproofing in Al Salmaniyah First District

The cementitious material needs moisture in the surface to absorb into it and bond with it rather than drying out on top. If applied to a fully dry wall in the heat, the coat dries before it can penetrate the concrete and the result is weaker.

Yes, cementitious waterproofing systems are designed to resist water pressure from both sides, inside and outside. That is the main difference between a true waterproofing material and a plain cement paint. The surface must be clean and free of old coatings that block bonding.

It depends on the state of the old lining. If it is sound and not peeling it may be assessed for keeping, but if it is loose or flaking it must be removed first, because the cementitious coat needs direct contact with the concrete, not with a failing old lining.

The tank must be emptied, cleaned and prepared before waterproofing in any case. The main advantage of a cementitious material is that it works with damp concrete and does not require the complete dryness that some resin-based materials need.

Tell us whether the tank is a ground tank or an overhead tank, what you can see such as seepage in the wall, damp at the base or a peeling old coat, and whether the tank is currently in use or empty. This helps us assess what the surface needs before the cementitious coat.

The tank's inner surface is checked for cracks, salt marks, damp and corrosion, and seeping locations are identified. The tank base and wall corners are also looked at, as water collects there most.

Outside waterproofing protects from new groundwater seeping, but moisture and salt already inside stay. So inner wall waterproofing is better to stop existing seeping and prevent new seeping.
