Epoxy coating and waterproofing work in Alkharj starts with the ground the building sits on. The centre of Alkharj sits about 439 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), so the first checks cover the surfaces and moisture conditions that the technician can see and measure on arrival, before any product is chosen. Crack injection is priced at SAR 40–120 per m, so any visible cracks in floors or walls are recorded early and measured in metres, because that length drives the cost of the repair. Basement waterproofing sits at SAR 50–150 per m², and a basement is the first area to inspect for water entry, since its price range is the widest of the services listed here.
Some points can only be settled during the site visit. The technician needs to confirm the condition of the concrete, whether old coatings must be removed, and whether there is standing or seeping water that must be stopped before any product goes on. The choice between 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 depends on the surface, the use of the room, and how the area will be walked on or filled. Tank internal coating at SAR 25–60 per m² and liquid roof waterproofing at SAR 8–25 per m² are also judged on site, using the actual tank contents or roof exposure rather than assumptions. Measurements of each area are taken in square metres, and the final quantity is confirmed then.
To help the technician prepare, the homeowner or property manager should have the floor plan or sketch of the areas, the length of any cracks, and a note of where water has been seen. Access to the basement, roof, or tank must be arranged in advance, with clear working hours. It also helps to list any earlier repairs and to say which rooms are used for bathing, storage, or water, since bathroom waterproofing at SAR 15–40 per m² and XPS insulation boards at SAR 12–30 per m² are chosen differently depending on use. With these details ready, the site visit can move directly to measuring and deciding the right system for each area.
Each job ends with a written report that carries a verification code you can check on our site.

Tools we use in Alkharj
| Tool | What it finds | When we use it in Alkharj |
|---|---|---|
| Fill test with level monitoring | Whether a tank coating holds after the work | Limits: takes time to monitor the level |
| Moisture meter for ceilings and walls | Where water is entering now, from inside | Limits: measures the effect, not the water path |
| Thickness measurement at spread-out points | Whether the thickness in the quote was achieved | Limits: for foam and liquid-applied layers |
How the work is done, step by step
- Surface moisture reading: Epoxy is applied only when the substrate is dry enough.
- Careful preparation: Grinding and cleaning for adhesion.
- Layers: Primer and body coats as specified.

Short answers for 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 (with a verifiable technical report)?
We start with surface moisture reading (epoxy is applied only when the substrate is dry enough), then careful preparation (grinding and cleaning for adhesion).
How much does epoxy coating & waterproofing cost in Alkharj?
From our published price list: Epoxy coating (per m²) SAR 35–90 per m². Quantities are confirmed at the inspection.
What do I get at the end?
The epoxy system, thickness and curing time, in a technical report that carries a verification code.

If you live in Alkharj and are new to the area
- Have access ready to the water meter, the tank hatches, the roof and the main valve; in apartment buildings the roof keys are often with the building guard (haris).
- Prices are in Saudi riyals (SAR); the final price is confirmed after the inspection, before any work starts.
