Before we start: what we know about Albaha

Team note on Albaha: Kashf teams serve this city and its nearby districts with the same documented inspection standard: device-based leak detection without demolition, a written report, and a clear scope before any work begins.. The centre of Albaha sits about 2178 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).

Is water seeping through your office basement or foundation walls, and what will it cost to stop it? In Albaha, where the city centre sits about 2178 m above sea level, the rate of work depends on the surface and the method, so the first step is a clear picture of the damage. Basement waterproofing typically falls within SAR 50–150 per m², crack injection runs SAR 40–120 per m, and epoxy coating ranges from SAR 35–90 per m². Each figure reflects a different kind of problem, which is why we look at the structure before quoting anything.

Our inspection starts with a walk through the basement or foundation area to map where moisture appears and how far it has spread. We check for cracks along walls and floor joints, note any staining or efflorescence, and identify whether the water is entering through the wall, the slab, or the junction between the two. Where cracks are present, we measure their length in metres so the crack injection can be priced accurately. We then recommend a suitable system, such as bitumen membrane at SAR 15–35 per m² or spray foam at SAR 20–45 per m², matched to the conditions we find. Each option is explained on site so you understand why one method suits your building better than another.

Before the visit, gather any earlier repair records, drawings of the basement or foundation layout, and notes on when the leaks first appeared and whether they worsen after rain. Clear access to the affected walls and floors helps the inspection go faster, and it is useful to tell us how the space is used, since offices, storage rooms, and parking areas each carry different demands. Having these details ready means the assessment can focus on the real problem and produce a clear estimate you can compare against the rate ranges above.

For offices and commercial complexes, work is scheduled to avoid disrupting staff and visitors.

When do you need basement & foundation waterproofing?

The following signs are worth checking before they grow:

• Water seeping in after rain
• Salt marks at the bottom of the walls

Where the problem usually comes from

• A common cause: cracks at construction joints.
• A high groundwater level.
• A common cause: rainwater draining towards the foundation.

Tools and methods, and when we use them

How the work is done, step by step

1. Finding the source: Groundwater, rain or a pipe — each needs a different treatment.
2. Preparation: Surfaces are cleaned and opened where needed.
3. Injection: Active cracks are injected.
4. Waterproofing layers: The system is applied on the right side of the wall where possible.
5. Follow-up: Readings are repeated after the treatment.
