Water Tank Cleaning in Al Marefah, Jeddah
Al Marefah is a new development in north Jeddah within the Obhur and Taybah area, with ongoing construction and vacant plots between new homes. The tanks here are new but construction dust from excavations and heavy machinery fills the air constantly. Water needs continuous cleaning to stay usable.

What changes about water tank cleaning in Al Marefah
Water here contains fine sand and construction dust even in brand new flats that were just purchased from the builder. For the method itself, see how we approach water tank cleaning.
-
The first reason
Construction dust enters new tanks from day one
Excavation, demolition and building work raise heavy dust clouds. Even brand new, clean tanks get dirty quickly. Water contains fine sand and dust particles in the first weeks of occupation.
-
The second reason
Vacant land and ongoing projects surround the homes
Undeveloped land around new homes raises dust in any breeze. Construction projects nearby dump dirt on tank roofs and into ventilation openings. Defending against this dust is difficult.
-
The third reason
New tank lids from builders may not seal tightly
Tanks delivered by builders sometimes come with loose or poor fitting lids. Gaps and cracks let heavy construction dust in freely. Checking the lid is essential work in new developments.
What water tank cleaning covers in Al Marefah
A new development area in north Jeddah served by main roads connecting to Madinah Road, with active building projects and undeveloped land scattered among the residential plots.
-
Tank checked before we start
We inspect the tank and lid to assess exposure to construction dust and vacant land around the property.
-
Old water drained out
Complete drainage reveals sand and construction dust accumulated on the tank floor.
-
Sediment vacuumed from the bottom
Sediment is vacuumed carefully to remove the heavy particles from excavation and building activities.
-
Walls and floor scrubbed
Walls are scrubbed by hand to remove construction dust and fine deposits.
-
Interior surfaces disinfected
Disinfection kills bacteria that thrive in water contaminated with construction dust.
-
Final rinse and lid check
Rinsing continues until water runs clear, and the lid and inlet are checked to prevent future dust entry.
Not included
- Repairing cracks, leaks or a failed tank wall
- Plumbing, pump or float-valve repair and replacement
- Replacing the tank or refitting a broken lid
- Treating the quality of the water supplied to the tank
How a tank is actually cleaned
-
1
Isolate and drain fully
The supply into the tank is shut and the tank is drained completely.
-
2
Remove the sediment by hand
The sludge on the floor is scooped and pumped out first.
-
3
Scrub walls and floor bare
The biofilm on the walls is physically scrubbed off.
-
4
Disinfect the bare surfaces
With the walls and floor clean, a disinfectant made for drinking-water storage is applied and given time to act on every surface.
-
5
Rinse and pump clear
The disinfectant and any loosened residue are rinsed down and pumped out, so the first tank of water after us is not carrying it.
-
6
Check the lid, then refill with you
We check the cover seal and inlet before refilling, so dust and insects stay out, then start the refill while you watch it run clear.

Why us for this job in particular
A team, done in one visit
We send a team, not one person, so a tank is drained, cleaned, disinfected and refilled in a single visit rather than left open for days.
We check the cause, not just the tank
We look at the lid seal and inlet, because a tank that got dirty fast usually has a way in.
You watch it refill clear
Nothing is closed until the tank is refilling and you have seen the water run clean.
From our work
Photographs from real jobs carried out by the crew.
The job is not closed before you approve it
The commitment is simple enough to actually keep: we do not leave until the tank is disinfected, refilling, and you have seen it for yourself.

Questions about water tank cleaning in Al Marefah
I bought the villa brand new and the water contains sand; is the house in a bad location?
This is normal in new developments. Construction and excavation around the area raise dust. An initial cleaning removes dust that has accumulated from the building phase.
How long after construction should we wait before the water is safe to use?
Construction dust continues for weeks or months. Regular cleaning and checking ensure safety. If dust persists after two months a lid or seal may be damaged.
Does ongoing construction in the area affect water purity more than other factors?
Yes. Excavations and active building are the main dust sources. Once construction around the neighbourhood ends, water quality will improve noticeably.
The vacant plot between us and the next house fills the tank with dust every day; what can we do?
Undeveloped land raises dust in any wind. A tight lid is your only defence. Checking and sealing the lid will significantly reduce dust entry.
The villa is brand new and the tank is new; do we need cleaning before first use?
Yes. Even new tanks from builders contain construction dust and fine sand. An initial clean ensures clean water from day one.
How often should tanks in a new area like Al Marefah be cleaned?
Cleaning every two to three months is sensible during the building phase. Once construction ends, intervals can lengthen.
Can you clean a rooftop tank with a small opening?
Usually yes. A tight rooftop unit with a narrow hatch takes more care and time than a wide ground tank, but the cleaning is the same. Access is one of the things we ask about up front so the price and duration are right before we come.
How often should a tank be cleaned?
On a regular cycle rather than once and forgotten, and sooner if you notice grit, a taste or a cloudy tint.
How much does water tank cleaning in Al Marefah cost?
It is set after the inspection, because it follows the size of the job, the materials involved and their condition. Send photos on WhatsApp and we will give you an estimate before we reach Al Marefah.
