Before we start: what we know about Tabuk

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

Is my water tank in Tabuk worth waterproofing, and how do I know if it needs it? The centre of Tabuk sits about 762 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), and that elevation is one reason tanks here are exposed to wide temperature swings that can stress coatings and joints over time. A leaking or flaking tank wastes water and can contaminate the stored supply, so a proper check is worth doing before any work is quoted. For a tank interior, the typical cost range is SAR 25–55 per m² for tank internal coating, which gives you a baseline when comparing offers.

A sound inspection starts with an empty tank, which allows the surfaces to be seen and tested properly. The technician should look for hairline cracks, blistering, peeling old coatings and any staining that suggests water is tracking through the walls or floor. Cracks that show active seepage are typically treated with crack injection, priced at SAR 40–115 per metre, while larger surface failures call for a full coating. Where the tank sits on a roof or a shared plinth, the roof itself may also need attention; liquid roof waterproofing runs SAR 10–25 per m², and a bitumen membrane runs SAR 15–35 per m², and the inspector should note which applies. The report should record the measured areas and the recommended method for each zone, so you can compare like with like.

Before the visit, clear access to the tank and its lid, and turn off the supply and drain the tank as far as practical so the surfaces can be checked. Gather any previous invoices or warranty papers for earlier repairs, and note when leaks were first noticed, how often the tank is refilled, and whether the water tastes or looks different. Measure the tank's internal dimensions if you can, since per-square-metre pricing depends on the surface area. Ask the inspector to explain each recommended method, the materials proposed and the cure time before the tank is refilled. Keep the written scope and price breakdown, and confirm who will be responsible for disinfecting the tank before water is restored.

Each job ends with a written report that carries a verification code you can check on our site.

2. Cleaning and preparation: Loose material is removed down to a sound surface.
3. Crack treatment: Active cracks are treated first.
