Is a leaking floor or balcony an emergency you can wait out? In Aldiriyah, the centre sits about 655 m above sea level, and water that finds a way through a slab or balcony edge will not stop on its own. Floor and balcony waterproofing work is priced by the square metre, with epoxy coating running SAR 35–90 per m² and spray foam SAR 20–45 per m², while crack injection is charged per metre at SAR 40–120 per m. Knowing these ranges helps you understand the scope before anyone arrives, though the final figure depends on what the inspection finds.
The inspection starts with the source, not the stain. The technician walks the affected floor or balcony, marks the area where moisture shows, and checks cracks and joints so the repair can be matched to the defect. Where a crack is the cause, crack injection is usually considered before any surface coating, and a surface membrane such as bitumen (SAR 15–35 per m²) or liquid waterproofing may be proposed for larger areas. The technician will explain which option fits the surface and the leak pattern, and why. Ask them to show you the marked points so you can see exactly what they are treating.
Before the visit, clear the floor or balcony so the surface can be reached, and move furniture, plants and anything stored near the wall or drain. Note when the leak appears, whether after rain, after showers, or after washing the balcony, because that timing points to the entry route. Take photos of the stains and cracks and keep them on your phone for the technician. Have a rough idea of the affected area in square metres or the length of visible cracks in metres, since the quote will be built from those measurements. Keep the area ventilated and avoid running water on the damaged section until the inspection is complete.
If water is flowing, close the main valve first, then call or message with photos.
