Floor and balcony waterproofing in Afif starts with the height of the town. The centre of Afif sits about 1040 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), which means the technician first looks at how the slab and drainage outlets handle rain runoff and temperature swings rather than assuming the same details used in coastal cities. Balconies are checked for ponding, outlet blockage and the condition of the upstand where the floor meets the wall, since these are the points where water usually gets in. The first questions are whether the surface is cracked, whether old coatings are lifting, and whether water is already tracking through to a room below.
Several things can only be settled at the site visit. The technician measures the true area in square metres, because the published rates are quoted per m², and confirms the slope and whether standing water remains after rain. Cracks are mapped and their length measured in metres, since crack injection is priced per metre. The moisture content of the substrate, the thickness of any existing layers and the choice between a liquid system, a membrane or a board-based system are decided on the spot. Access, furniture removal and whether a tiled finish must be lifted are also assessed in person, because they change the final scope.
To help the technician, the customer can note where leaks appear and at what time of year, and whether the problem is worse after heavy rain or during hot afternoons. Photographs of the surface and any stains on the ceiling below are useful, as are the dimensions of each balcony or floor section and the location of drains. Information about the previous waterproofing, if any, and the age of the building lets the technician judge whether an old membrane has failed or simply needs patching. Please keep the area clear and make sure the outlets are accessible so the survey can be completed in one visit.
