Ground tank waterproofing in Al Kilabiyah
In Al Kilabiyah, residents depend on ground tanks for water storage, and tank walls face constant pressure from surrounding soil and water within. Al Raya waterproofs the tank base and walls together with strong waterproof materials to prevent leaks.
What ground tank waterproofing includes
- Checking the tank walls, base and cold joints for cracks and weak points
- Cleaning and preparing the internal surface before any treatment or material is applied
- Sealing fine cracks and the cold joint between the wall and the base before waterproofing
- Treating the internal walls with a lining that can carry the pressure of stored water
- Treating the base and the transition zone between wall and base as a single unit
- Assessing the external wall condition where damp soil pressure is a factor in the leak
How the work goes
- 1
Tell us what you notice
Call or message us on WhatsApp and tell us where the leak shows in the tank and whether you notice damp in the surrounding soil or a drop in the water level.
- 2
Inspecting the tank and walls
The job starts with checking the walls, the base and the cold joints for cracks and weak points before any lining is applied.
- 3
Preparing the surface
Surface preparation includes cleaning the walls and sealing cracks and any gap in the joints, because a lining is only as good as the surface it goes onto.
- 4
Applying the waterproofing
The walls and base are treated as one unit, with particular attention to the cold joint zone between the wall and the base as it is the area most exposed to leaks.
What makes this treatment reliable
- We treat the base and walls as one unit
- We seal cold joints before waterproofing
- We choose a material suited to soil pressure
- We take your request by phone call or WhatsApp message

The service in Al Kilabiyah
In a town like Al Kilabiyah, ground tanks are deep and their walls carry heavy weight. Pressure from damp soil and groundwater around the house causes cracks in the base and walls, especially at joints and corners. Al Raya's team visits the tank and carefully checks the base, all walls and joints, then prepares the internal and external surfaces and applies waterproof coatings. The first inspection reveals the size and location of cracks, and this determines the scope of treatment.
Al Kilabiyah is a town in Al-Ahsa governorate in the Eastern Province.
The base and corners are the weakest points in a ground tank, because they collect the greatest combined pressure from water and soil.

Questions about Ground tank waterproofing in Al Kilabiyah
A ground tank carries the pressure of damp soil on its outer walls, which an overhead tank does not. So the walls need a treatment that can handle that additional pressure, and the cold joint between the wall and the base is more prone to cracking under these conditions.
The base receives the pressure of the stored water from above and that of damp or groundwater from below. The cold joint between the base pour and the wall pour is usually the first place a leak appears, because that joint is weaker than solid homogeneous concrete.
An internal lining protects water from escaping and treats the wall surface from inside. But if damp soil pressure is pushing water from outside in, the wall may also need external treatment. What suits each tank depends on the actual condition and position of the leak.
A fine crack in concrete does not let water through freely at first, but it widens with repeated filling and emptying as the concrete expands and contracts. When the crack reaches enough depth it becomes a direct path for water. That is why cracks are treated before the waterproofing layer, not after.
Tell us whether the tank is fully buried, partly buried or at ground level, where the leak shows such as the walls, the base or the cold joint between them, and whether you notice damp in the surrounding soil or a drop in the water level inside. These details help us identify the right treatment.
Describe where you see dampness or wet patches on the walls from outside, whether you hear water leaking, and when you last saw cracks. Send photos of the base and corners on WhatsApp if you can.
Treatment stops existing leaks and protects against cracks, but soil and water pressure may cause new cracks in the distant future. Periodic checks of the tank help detect any change early.
