Commercial and warehouse insulation for duplexes in Afif starts with the setting itself. The centre of Afif sits about 1040 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), which means a site here is at a noticeably higher altitude than most coastal or lowland cities in the Kingdom. Technicians first look at how the building is exposed and how its roof, walls and any basement are likely to behave through the year before choosing a material. For a duplex, the roof and upper walls usually get the first attention, while the ground-level and any below-grade areas are checked separately so that moisture is not trapped inside the structure.

Several points are left to the site visit, because they cannot be judged from a description alone. The technician will look at the actual condition of the roof surface, the presence of existing cracks and where they run, the state of any old membrane, and how water currently drains from the building. They will also confirm the measured area of each surface in square metres or the length of any crack in metres, since prices in this field are quoted per m², per metre or per tank surface. Where a basement exists, the site visit decides whether the walls need full treatment, and whether bathrooms or a water tank need their own coating. Nothing should be assumed in advance about which of these surfaces apply to your property.

Some information helps the technician prepare before arriving. Note any leaks you have noticed, the rooms where damp appears, and the age of the roof covering. If you have a water tank, tell us whether it is accessible from inside. Describe whether the duplex has a basement and how the ground slopes around it. The quoted ranges for common work are as follows: liquid roof waterproofing costs SAR 8–25 per m², bitumen membrane SAR 15–35 per m², XPS boards SAR 12–30 per m², spray foam SAR 20–45 per m², and crack injection SAR 40–120 per m. Bathroom waterproofing is SAR 15–40 per m², while basement waterproofing is SAR 50–150 per m². Having these details ready lets the technician give you a clear, accurate picture on the day.

In a duplex, the two floors often share lines, so tests are done floor by floor.
