How we work

How the work goes

  1. 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. 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. 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. 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.

About the area

The service in Al Salmaniyah First District

Ground tanks in homes in a district like Al Salmaniyah First District face soil pressure all around, and in Al-Ahsa the ground is often damp and salty, which raises the risk of cracks and leaks. Work begins with inspection of the base and walls from inside and out, then surfaces are cleaned and existing cracks are treated before waterproof layers are applied. Al Raya uses bitumen and epoxy according to the tank's condition, to ensure a tight seal on the base and corners where water pools.

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.

The tank base and inside corners are where leaks first appear, because pressure concentrates there.

Questions

Questions about Ground tank waterproofing in Al Salmaniyah First District

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.

Signs of leakage include damp patches on the foundation or walls around the tank, or a noticeable drop in water level without extra use. An inspection by Al Raya confirms whether there is a leak and where it is.

The tank is inspected inside and out, the surfaces are cleaned of dirt and deposits, existing cracks are treated, and waterproof layers are applied to the base and walls to block water and moisture from outside.
