Picture a hotel owner in Alkharj who runs a small block of serviced apartments. Guests check in and out every few days, the lobby and corridors must look fresh, and the basement and bathrooms carry the heaviest hidden risk. A single leak from a cracked wall or a worn bathroom floor can close rooms, upset guests and cost far more than the repair itself. The owner wants the work done once, done properly, and planned around occupancy.
The local facts shape that plan. The centre of Alkharj sits about 439 m above sea level, so the site is inland rather than coastal, and owners should not assume that a basement or ground-floor problem is only a matter of rainfall. Water can still find its way through cracks, joints and old membranes, and the price bands show where the money goes: basement waterproofing runs SAR 50–150 per m², bathroom waterproofing SAR 15–40 per m², and epoxy coating SAR 35–90 per m². Crack injection is priced SAR 40–120 per metre, so a clear survey of where cracks run can keep the budget under control.
A practical order of work helps. First, inspect basements, bathrooms, tanks and the roof, and mark every crack and damp patch. Second, decide which areas need the highest-grade protection, such as the basement, and which can use lighter systems. Third, inject cracks before any surface coating, since sealing the source comes first. Fourth, treat bathrooms and tanks, using spray foam at SAR 20–45 per m² or internal tank coating at SAR 25–60 per m² where storage is involved. Fifth, complete the roof with liquid waterproofing at SAR 8–25 per m² or a bitumen membrane at SAR 15–35 per m², adding XPS boards at SAR 12–30 per m² where insulation is also needed. Finally, schedule work in phases so guest rooms stay open, and test each area before it returns to use.
For hotels and serviced apartments, rooms are handled in batches to keep units available.

Questions from Alkharj
Does an underground tank require waterproofing even if it is new?
Yes, concrete is naturally porous, which can lead to leaks or groundwater seepage. Applying epoxy or cementitious insulation from the start maintains water quality and protects the structure from corrosion.
Do you need to evacuate the building during renovation work?
It depends on the type and scope of the work. Surface work such as plastering and painting usually does not require evacuation, while partial or full evacuation may be advised in cases of structural reinforcement, and the contractor determines this after inspection.
What is the first step of epoxy coating & waterproofing for hotels & serviced apartments?
We start with surface moisture reading (epoxy is applied only when the substrate is dry enough), then careful preparation (grinding and cleaning for adhesion).
