Overhead tank waterproofing in Ash Shi’bah: An elevated concrete tank on columns with a damp patch at its base

Overhead tank waterproofing in Ash Shi’bah

In Ash Shi'bah, rare rainfall pools around rooftop tanks and finds its way inside through any crack or weakness in the base. Al Raya treats the tank walls and base with foam, epoxy and bitumen to stop leaks from inside and out.

What the service includes

What overhead tank waterproofing includes

  • Inspecting the inner concrete walls of the tank and identifying cracks and weak joints
  • Inspecting the tank base and the concrete stand and tracing the water's path to the roof or ceiling
  • Treating cracks and preparing the surface before any waterproofing coat is applied
  • Waterproofing the inner walls with a material suited to concrete in contact with water
  • Waterproofing the outer walls and the base to stop damp reaching the roof slab and ceiling
  • Treating the tank stand where it is a path for damp to travel downward
How we work

From your call to the treated tank

  1. 1

    Describe what you see

    Call or message us on WhatsApp and tell us where the damp appears: on the ceiling below the tank, around the base on the roof, or on the outer walls of the tank.

  2. 2

    Checking the tank and the base

    We inspect the inner and outer walls of the tank, the base and the stand, to trace the water and find where cracks form or a joint has weakened.

  3. 3

    Preparing the surface and treating it

    Preparing the surface is a core part of the job: the walls are cleaned and cracks are treated before the waterproofing coat goes on, because a coat on an unprepared surface will not hold.

  4. 4

    Waterproofing inside and out

    The walls are waterproofed inside to stop water passing through the concrete, and the base and outer walls are waterproofed to protect the roof and the ceiling below from accumulated damp.

About the area

The service in Ash Shi’bah

Rooftop tanks in a district like Ash Shi'bah sit heavy with water on a concrete base, and the quality of that base decides whether damp appears in the ceiling below. The tank base often cracks from pressure, heat and minor building movement, letting water in or out. The damp patch on the ceiling is checked first, along with the tank shape and base condition, to decide whether treatment is needed from inside, outside or both. The surfaces are then cleaned and treated with materials that form a barrier against water.

Ash Shi'bah is a district in Al-Ahsa governorate in the Eastern Province, close to Al Qurayn, Julayjilah and Ash Shuqayq.

The first check shows whether water enters through cracks in the base or around the joints, and this guides the treatment.

Questions

Questions about Overhead tank waterproofing in Ash Shi’bah

In most cases no, because damp that builds up on the outer wall of the tank or under its base reaches the roof and the ceiling below without passing through the inside. So the work usually covers the outer walls and the base as well as the inner treatment.

Water travels horizontally under the concrete before it appears on the ceiling surface, so the stain's position does not have to match the source. The source is often the tank base or an expansion joint, and the mark shows elsewhere. That is why the work starts by tracing the source.

The tank stand receives water leaking from the base and the lower walls, and over time cracks form in it and the concrete deteriorates from repeated damp. Treating the stand is part of treating the overhead tank when it is the water's path to the roof.

An expansion joint is a deliberate gap left in the concrete to absorb movement with heat and cold changes; it is relatively wide with regular edges. A shrinkage crack forms from unexpected settlement or contraction and has an irregular shape. Both are possible leak paths and need treatment before waterproofing.

Tell us exactly where the damp shows: on the ceiling below the tank, around its base on the roof, or on its outer walls. Tell us whether it is a concrete tank and whether the damp appears constantly or only after the tank is filled. These details help us gauge the scope of the work.

If the damp patch is directly under the tank and appeared after dry weather or in cold season, the source is usually the base. Call Al Raya to check the tank and base before damage spreads.

Tell exactly where the damp patch is on the ceiling, whether it is new or old, whether the tank base has visible cracks, and send photos of the ceiling and base on WhatsApp.
