About Az Zahir
Az Zahir is one of Makkah's old districts, northwest of the Grand Mosque along Madinah Road and the Third Ring Road, home to King Abdulaziz Hospital and Umm Al-Qura University's women's campus. Old houses stand next to newer apartment blocks and villas, and the older buildings usually need damaged insulation stripped and roofs fully re-insulated. District guide
Why Az Zahir homes need water tank insulation
Az Zahir in west Makkah is home to apartment buildings, villas and older traditional houses, connected by Third Ring Road. In apartment buildings one shared ground tank serves several flats, so a leak multiplies consumption and dampness in the adjacent basement and parking. Summer heat warms exposed roof tanks and speeds coating breakdown, so reflective external insulation helps. The fix: check the concrete first, repair honeycombing and cracks, then line the tank with a system suited to its age and condition.
