What is specific about Bishah for water tank waterproofing
Main roads in or near Bishah: King Saud Road, Riyadh Street. The centre of Bishah sits about 1169 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).
Water tanks at hotels and serviced apartments in Bishah are often the quiet weak point of a building. The most common problem for this property type is seepage through cracked or worn tank walls and joints, which can contaminate supply and damage ceilings below. Because guests and staff depend on a steady supply, a leak in a tank is usually found only after staining or pressure loss appears, so early inspection matters more than the repair itself.
Bishah sits at about 1169 m above sea level, which shapes how we approach the work. At this elevation, daytime heat and cooler nights create repeated expansion and contraction in concrete, and that movement widens hairline cracks over time. For that reason, a tank in Bishah is rarely treated with a single surface layer. The approach typically starts with crack injection, where cracks are sealed per metre, followed by an internal tank coating sized to the total surface area. Where the tank sits in a basement or lower level, basement waterproofing is considered as a separate scope, since ground moisture behaves differently from the water held inside the tank.
Before the visit, ask the provider to confirm which parts of the tank and building are included, such as internal tank coating, crack injection, roof work or basement areas, so the quote matches the real scope. Ask how the surface area will be measured and whether the price is given per square metre, because the same job can look very different on paper. Ask whether the tank will be drained and cleaned before coating, and how long the space will be out of use. Finally, ask which materials are proposed for the tank interior, so you can compare options such as epoxy coating and other tank-safe finishes against your building's needs.
For hotels and serviced apartments, rooms are handled in batches to keep units available.

Tools we use in Bishah
| Tool or method | What it measures | Why it is chosen here |
|---|---|---|
| Crack injection (polyurethane or epoxy) | Stopping active water through cracks | Limits: treats the crack, not the water source |
| Fill test with level monitoring | Whether a tank coating holds after the work | Limits: takes time to monitor the level |
| Moisture meter for ceilings and walls | Where water is entering now, from inside | Limits: measures the effect, not the water path |
The steps in order
- Emptying and ventilation: The tank is emptied and ventilated before entry.
- Cleaning and preparation: Loose material is removed down to a sound surface.
- Crack treatment: Active cracks are treated first.
- Coating layers: A material intended for drinking-water tanks is applied.
- Disinfection and fill test: The tank is disinfected and the level is monitored after filling.
