Floor & balcony waterproofing in Albaha: the local context

The centre of Albaha sits about 2178 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).

Is it worth waterproofing a floor or balcony in Albaha, and what will it cost? The centre of Albaha sits about 2178 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), and that altitude shapes how property owners here think about water: rain arrives in bursts, and what it finds in a balcony slab or floor joint decides whether the damage stays small. For balconies and floors that are exposed to standing water, the relevant options are priced per square metre. Bitumen membrane runs SAR 15–35 per m², liquid roof waterproofing runs SAR 8–25 per m², and spray foam runs SAR 20–45 per m². Epoxy coating, which suits surfaces that need a hard, sealed finish, runs SAR 35–90 per m². Cracks are priced separately, with crack injection at SAR 40–120 per metre.

Before any work is quoted, the inspection walks the surface and checks where water is likely to enter. The inspector looks at the slab for hairline and structural cracks, checks the junctions where the balcony meets the wall, and notes any ponding areas where water sits after rain. Cracks are measured in metres so that the crack injection line can be costed accurately. The inspector also checks the existing finish to judge whether it can be bonded to, or whether it must be cleaned back first. The aim is to match the product to the surface: a cracked slab may need injection before any coating, while a sound slab with a poor finish may only need a new membrane or coating laid over it. The result of the visit is a written scope listing each area, its size in square metres, and the chosen system, so the owner can compare it against the price ranges above.

To make the visit productive, gather the information the inspector will need. Have the plans or sketch of the floor or balcony ready, with the dimensions noted so the area in square metres can be confirmed on site. Point out any past leaks, stains on the ceiling below, or areas where tiles have lifted. Clear the balcony or floor of furniture and plant pots so the full surface is visible, and let the inspector know whether the space is in regular use, since that affects the timing of the work. If there is a previous waterproofing layer, note what it was and when it was applied. Having these details ready lets the inspection move straight to measuring and advising rather than searching for basic facts.

Each job ends with a written report that carries a verification code you can check on our site.
