What is specific about Aljumum for floor & balcony waterproofing
The centre of Aljumum sits about 200 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).

Aljumum sits about 200 m above sea level, and for floor and balcony waterproofing on warehouse sites that elevation is the first thing we look at, because it shapes how the site drains and how often rain runs across it. Before any quote is written, the technician checks where water is likely to pool on the slab and where it will be pushed toward the edges, since a floor that looks level can still hold water in low spots and carry it into joints and drain outlets. This first look also covers the existing surface, its age, and any sign that the floor has already been patched more than once.
The items below are left to the site visit, because they cannot be judged from a description alone. The technician will measure the actual floor and balcony areas, mark every crack and check its length in metres, and test whether the substrate is sound enough to take a coating or whether it needs to be cut back first. Whether a crack needs injection, or a membrane is better suited to the area, depends on what is found on the day. Pricing ranges vary widely, so the final scope is confirmed only after these measurements are taken and the options are set out for the client.
To help the technician arrive prepared, the client can clear loose stock and pallets from the floor areas, note any spots that flood after rain, and say whether the warehouse will be in use during the work, because that affects the order of the job. Photographs of the floor, the balcony edges, and any leaking points are useful, as are the dates of previous repairs. Knowing whether the area will carry forklift traffic or heavy racking also helps the technician choose a finish that will hold up under load. With this information ready, the visit can focus on measurement and testing rather than on basic questions.
For warehouses, work is phased around operations and stored goods.
