Epoxy coating & waterproofing in Allith: the local context

Main roads in or near Allith: Al Laith Road, Amr Bin Al Aas Street. Allith is about 1.2 km from the sea coast (OpenStreetMap).

The centre of Allith sits about 5 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).

Is it worth coating or waterproofing an apartment floor in Allith, and what will it actually cost? The centre of Allith sits about 5 m above sea level, and the town is about 1.2 km from the sea coast. That combination means ground moisture and salt-laden air can still reach ground-level and basement areas, so owners here often look at epoxy coating for garage floors, stores and wet areas. Typical rates are SAR 35–90 per m² for epoxy coating, SAR 50–150 per m² for basement waterproofing, and SAR 15–40 per m² for bathroom waterproofing. Crack injection is priced separately at SAR 40–120 per metre, so a few hairline cracks may cost less than a full re-coat. The final figure depends on the area and the condition of the surface, which is why a site visit comes first.

The inspection starts with a walk through the flat or building to find where water is actually getting in. The technician checks floors, skirting and wall bases for damp, looks at the bathroom edges and drains, and inspects any basement or store room for moisture lines. Cracks are measured in metres so they can be priced under crack injection. Roof and tank areas, where relevant, are checked separately, since liquid roof waterproofing is quoted at SAR 8–25 per m² and tank internal coating at SAR 25–60 per m². The surface is then tested for dryness and cleanliness, because coatings do not bond well to damp or dusty concrete. You receive a written list of the areas, the recommended method for each one, and a price range for every line.

Before the visit, clear the areas to be inspected so the technician can reach skirting, drains and wall bases. Note any places where you have seen water, stains, peeling paint or a musty smell, and when they appear, as this helps identify the source. Move furniture and stored items away from walls where possible and make sure the basement or store room is accessible. If there are existing repairs or previous coatings, let the technician know what was used. Keep the building manager informed if the work affects shared areas or the roof. With this prepared, the visit can focus on the real problem and give you a clear quote you can compare.

In an apartment, a problem may start in your unit or in a shared line; we separate the two before any work.

The most common causes

• A damp surface that ruins adhesion — we check this before anything else.
• A common cause: insufficient preparation.

Tools and methods, and when we use them

The steps in order

1. Surface moisture reading: Epoxy is applied only when the substrate is dry enough.
2. Careful preparation: Grinding and cleaning for adhesion.
3. Layers: Primer and body coats as specified.
4. Inspection: Thickness and curing are checked.
