Is my floor or balcony leaking, and how do I know before work starts? In Abu Arish, many property owners ask this when they notice damp patches, stains on ceilings or cracks along a balcony edge. Floor and balcony waterproofing is a targeted job, and the first step is to match the fix to the surface. Epoxy coating costs SAR 35–90 per m², spray foam costs SAR 20–45 per m², and bitumen membrane costs SAR 15–35 per m². Crack injection is priced separately at SAR 40–120 per m, so a surface with a single running crack may need a different approach from one with wide, open damage.
The inspection follows a set order. The technician first walks the area and checks where water is entering, looking at the junctions between floor and wall, drainage outlets and any visible cracks. Cracks are measured in metres, because crack injection is quoted per metre. The surface is then assessed for the type of coating it needs, whether that is epoxy for a durable finish, spray foam for a seamless layer, or bitumen membrane for a traditional barrier. Where a balcony is open to weather, the technician also considers liquid roof waterproofing, which is priced at SAR 8–25 per m². The result is a written breakdown of the work and its area, so you can compare each line against the rates above.
Before the visit, prepare a few simple things. Note where you have seen water, with dates if you can, and take photographs of stains, cracks and any standing water after rain. Clear the floor and balcony of furniture, plants and stored items so the technician can reach every edge. Know the approximate size of each area in square metres, and measure any cracks along their length. Because the centre of Abu Arish sits about 67 m above sea level, rainwater drains across the surface rather than pooling, so tell the technician where water actually collects. Having this information ready makes the inspection faster and the quotation clearer.
Each job ends with a written report that carries a verification code you can check on our site.
