Picture a homeowner in Aldiriyah whose flat or villa has a bathroom that looks fine on the surface. Tiles are intact, grout is clean, and nothing seems wrong. Yet a faint musty smell appears near the shower wall, a patch of paint bubbles near the floor, and the neighbouring room feels damp after rain. Many owners only act once the damage is visible on the ceiling below, which is usually when repairs cost the most.
The centre of Aldiriyah sits about 655 m above sea level, so the area is not a low-lying flood zone, but that does not remove the need for protection. Bathrooms take constant water exposure through showers, taps and drains, and the membrane beneath the tiles ages over time. For a bathroom, waterproofing typically falls in the range of SAR 15–40 per m², which makes a periodic check far cheaper than dealing with leaks that have spread into walls or the floor slab. If a bathroom sits above a living space or a shared corridor, the cost of a leak multiplies quickly.
Start by looking at the floor where it meets the walls, around the shower tray, and along the edges of the drain. Mark any hairline cracks and note whether they are wet or dry after a shower. Next, check the silicone or sealant joints and replace any that are peeling or blackened. If cracks are found in a wall or floor, crack injection is usually priced per metre, around SAR 40–120 per metre, and should be sized to the actual length found. Finally, record the findings with dates and photos, and repeat the check at regular intervals so that small changes are caught early.
Preventive checks follow a written schedule instead of waiting for a fault.

Tools and methods, and when we use them
| Tool or method | What it measures | Why it is chosen here |
|---|---|---|
| Flood test | Whether the waterproofing holds before it is covered | Limits: for roofs with drains and wet areas before tiling |
| Moisture meter for ceilings and walls | Where water is entering now, from inside | Limits: measures the effect, not the water path |
How the work is done, step by step
- Finding the source: A supply-pipe leak is ruled out first.
- Preparation: The floor is opened and cleaned where needed.
