Discoloured water, a smell, or sand in the taps? Here are rough prices for cleaning and insulation, and what to look out for so your home's water stays clean.
Rough prices for homes. The final price depends on the tank size, how much sediment there is and how easy it is to reach.
| Service | Rough price |
|---|---|
| Small roof tank (under 5 m³) | SAR 150 – 250 |
| Medium tank (5 – 15 m³) | SAR 250 – 400 |
| Underground tank | SAR 300 – 700 |
| Underground tank insulation (cracks treated, insulation layers) | SAR 700 – 1,250 |
| Polyurethane tank insulation | SAR 1,200 – 1,500 |
💡 More than one tank? Clean them in the same visit. Some companies give a discount on the second and third tank.
🔧 An underground tank usually costs more than a roof tank of the same size, because it's harder to reach and empty.
A rough guide from 6 sources in Riyadh (October 2026), mostly price pages of cleaning companies. The final price is agreed between you and the company. Laqeeni doesn't set prices or take commission.
Usually sediment or rust at the bottom of the tank. Cleaning removes it; if it comes back quickly, the pipes may be the problem.
Usually algae or bacteria in the tank, or a lid that doesn't close properly. It needs cleaning and disinfecting.
Sediment in the tank or from the water truck. Clean the tank, then clean the tap filters.
A sign of a leak or cracks in the tank. It needs checking and insulating before it affects the foundations.
The tank is in direct sun. A shade or heat insulation makes a big difference.
Usually the lid is open or broken. Replace the lid, then clean and disinfect the tank.
Emptying, cleaning, disinfecting, rinsing and refilling? Ask about each step, not just "cleaning".
Ask which product, and make sure they rinse the tank well afterwards so no taste or smell is left.
If you're insulating, ask whether the material is suitable for drinking-water tanks, and ask to see the tin.
Especially for insulation: how many years? Get it in writing, even on WhatsApp.
Ask for before-and-after photos from inside the tank, or look yourself before it's refilled.
Look at photos of past work and genuine reviews from earlier customers.

The lid must be closed and sealed so no dust or insects get in.
Order water from a known source, and check the truck looks clean before it fills your tank.
After the tank is cleaned, clean the tap and shower filters too: they hold old sediment.

Join freeA normal home tank usually takes two to four hours; a large underground tank takes longer. Keep some drinking water aside first.
If your underground tank loses water or has cracks, insulation stops the leak and protects the water. If there's no problem, regular cleaning is enough.
