Water tank waterproofing in Tabarjal: the local context

The centre of Tabarjal sits about 548 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data). Team note on Tabarjal: Kashf teams serve this city and its nearby districts with the same documented inspection standard: device-based leak detection without demolition, a written report, and a clear scope before any work begins..

Does a clinic's water tank really need waterproofing, and what will it cost? Tanks that hold water for drinking, sterilisation and washing must stay sound, and leaks or seepage can contaminate the supply and damage surrounding walls and floors. In Tabarjal, the centre sits about 548 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), so tanks here are often placed on rooftops or raised platforms where exposure to sun and temperature swings is significant. For clinics, the most relevant service is tank internal coating, priced at SAR 25–60 per m². Where a tank sits against a basement or shared wall, basement waterproofing at SAR 50–150 per m² may also be needed, and any cracks found during the survey can be sealed with crack injection at SAR 40–120 per metre.

Our inspection starts with a visual check of the tank interior and exterior, looking for hairline cracks, flaking surfaces, staining and joints that have separated. The technician then measures the affected area in square metres and marks any cracks in metres, so that the quote reflects real quantities rather than estimates. Where the tank sits on a roof, the liquid roof waterproofing rate of SAR 8–25 per m² and bitumen membrane rate of SAR 15–35 per m² are considered for the surface above it. Insulation options such as XPS boards at SAR 12–30 per m² may be discussed where temperature control matters. Each option is explained with its price range so the clinic manager can compare choices before any work begins.

Before the visit, please gather the clinic's existing plans or drawings of the tank and roof, and note when the tank was last cleaned or drained. Make sure the tank can be emptied and cleaned on the day of inspection, and that access to the roof or basement is clear. Let the team know whether the clinic operates on a set schedule, so work can be planned around patient hours. Having these details ready helps the inspection finish faster and gives you a clearer, more accurate quote for your Tabarjal clinic.

For clinics, work is scheduled around patient hours and kept to the areas that need it.
