About Umm Sulaim
Umm Sulaim is a small historic district of about 90 hectares south of Al Wisham and west of Ad Dirah; building there dates to the mid-1940s, and it is named after the salam trees that once grew there. Its ageing buildings with early concrete roofs need crack inspection and roof re-insulation, plus treatment for damp rising into walls from the floors. District guide
Why Umm Sulaim homes need water tank insulation
Umm Sulaim lies in central Riyadh along King Fahd Road and Imam Turki bin Abdullah Street, and is dominated by apartment buildings, villas and older traditional houses. In apartment buildings one shared ground tank serves several flats, so a leak multiplies consumption and dampness in the adjacent basement and parking. Buildings in the old parts of the city need concrete and rebar checks before insulating, because insulation over damaged concrete does not last. 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.
