What is specific about Aldiriyah for floor & balcony waterproofing

Team note on Aldiriyah: 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 Aldiriyah sits about 655 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).

Does an office floor or balcony that looks fine still need waterproofing? In Aldiriyah, where the centre of the town sits about 655 m above sea level, property owners often ask whether a dry-looking slab really needs attention. The answer depends on the surface, the traffic it carries and the water it sees. Floors and balconies in offices and commercial complexes take daily foot traffic, trolleys and cleaning water, so a sealed layer protects the structure underneath. The most common options we can quote for this kind of work are epoxy coating at SAR 35–90 per m², spray foam at SAR 20–45 per m², and bitumen membrane at SAR 15–35 per m². For cracks, crack injection is priced at SAR 40–120 per metre, so the right choice depends on what the inspection finds.

Our inspection begins with a walk over the whole floor and balcony area to look for hairline cracks, ponding spots, and edges where the surface meets walls or drains. The technician marks each crack and records its length, so the crack injection can be measured in metres. Next, the surface is checked for loose tiles, flaking coatings and any old sealant that has lost its grip. Where moisture is suspected, the team notes the areas that feel damp or show staining, since these areas usually decide whether a full recoat is needed or only spot repair. The result is a written list of the work needed, with each item tied to a measured area or length, so the owner can compare options before any work starts.

Before the visit, please clear the floor and balcony as much as possible so the surface can be seen properly, and move furniture, planters and storage away from the edges. Let the building staff know the date and the times the team will need access, especially if the space is in use during office hours. Share any past repair records, leak reports or warranty papers you have, because they show where water has come through before. If the complex has balconies above shops or walkways, mention this too, since it affects where the work can be scheduled. Having these details ready helps the inspection finish faster and gives you a clearer quote.

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