Picture a family who has lived for years in an apartment on an upper floor of a mid-rise building in Ahad Almasarihah. The balcony tiles have begun to lift near the drain, a damp patch has appeared on the ceiling of the room below, and every rain brings a new worry about whether water is finding its way through the slab. Owners in this position often wait, hoping the problem will fix itself, and only call for help once the damage has spread to walls and finishes.
The local facts matter here. The centre of Ahad Almasarihah sits about 667 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), which places the neighbourhood on high ground rather than in a low basin where water collects. For a balcony or flat roof, that means water tends to run off quickly, so the real risks are usually at the surface: worn joints, blocked outlets and cracks that let moisture seep into the concrete. Owners should therefore focus on sealing and draining rather than assuming the site will protect them. The cost ranges for the main options are useful for planning, from liquid roof waterproofing at SAR 8–25 per m² and bitumen membrane at SAR 15–35 per m², through to epoxy coating at SAR 35–90 per m² and crack injection at SAR 40–120 per metre.
A sensible approach starts with inspection. Walk the balcony after rain, note any ponding, staining or hairline cracks, and check that the floor falls gently towards the drains. Next, repair before you coat: fill and inject cracks, clear the outlets, and let the surface dry fully. Then choose a system that suits the area and the use. Liquid roof waterproofing or a bitumen membrane suits open roofs and balconies, while epoxy coating can give a durable finish where foot traffic is heavy. Finally, ask for the work to be checked once it has cured, and schedule a simple inspection after the first heavy rain. Acting in this order keeps the job focused and protects the apartment below.
In an apartment, a problem may start in your unit or in a shared line; we separate the two before any work.
