What is specific about Tabuk for water tank waterproofing

The centre of Tabuk sits about 762 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data). Team note on Tabuk: 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..

A clinic owner in Tabuk typically runs a busy practice from a building that stores water on the roof or in a ground-level tank to keep treatment rooms, sterilisation areas and washrooms supplied. The owner is responsible for patient safety and hygiene, so a leaking or cracked tank is not just a repair problem but a risk to daily operations, and they often need the work done without closing the clinic for long.

The centre of Tabuk sits about 762 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), a height that brings wide temperature swings between day and night. For a clinic tank, these swings make the lining expand and contract, which is how hairline cracks start and grow. The practical meaning is that a tank coating must be flexible as well as watertight, and that cracks should be checked and sealed early rather than left to widen. Costs also vary by task: tank internal coating runs SAR 25–55 per m², crack injection SAR 40–115 per metre, and liquid roof waterproofing SAR 10–25 per m². An owner who plans around these ranges can compare quotes sensibly.

A sensible sequence starts with an inspection of the tank interior and the roof above it, marking every crack and damp patch. Next, the owner should have cracks injected before any surface work, since sealing the structure comes first. Then the internal surface should be prepared and coated, with the tank internal coating and, where a coating is wanted for chemical resistance, epoxy coating at SAR 35–85 per m². Once the tank is sealed, the roof should be treated with liquid roof waterproofing or a bitumen membrane at SAR 15–35 per m², and any insulation boards at SAR 10–30 per m² can be added to protect the layer below. Finally, the owner should schedule a re-check after the first hot season to confirm the work has held.

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

Signs worth paying attention to

These are the signs most often linked to water tank waterproofing:

• A tank that leaks after testing
• Deposits and flaking inside the tank
• Unusual colour or taste in the water

Causes we see in the field

• Damaged old coating — we check this before anything else.
• Cracks in the walls or floor — we check this before anything else.
• A common cause: construction joints.

Tools we use in Tabuk

How the work is done, step by step

1. Emptying and ventilation: The tank is emptied and ventilated before entry.
2. Cleaning and preparation: Loose material is removed down to a sound surface.
3. Crack treatment: Active cracks are treated first.
4. Coating layers: A material intended for drinking-water tanks is applied.
5. Disinfection and fill test: The tank is disinfected and the level is monitored after filling.
