Floor & balcony waterproofing in Allith: the local context
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).

Before any product is chosen for a warehouse floor or balcony in Allith, the first thing a technician checks is the position of the site relative to the sea. The centre of Allith sits about 5 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), and the town is about 1.2 km from the sea coast (OpenStreetMap). Those two facts matter because a low, coastal-influenced area can carry salt-laden air and moisture into concrete, and a slab that sits close to the ground can hold water longer after rain. For that reason the first checks focus on the slab surface, the drainage fall toward outlets, and any existing cracks or joints where water could travel beneath a coating.
Some points can only be settled on the site visit. The technician needs to see the actual condition of the slab, whether there is rising damp, how the existing coating (if any) has bonded, and how much traffic the floor carries from forklifts or stacked goods. The extent of any crack injection, the depth of a bitumen or liquid membrane layer, and whether an epoxy or spray foam finish suits the loading are decided on the spot, after moisture and surface tests. Rates for each system are set once the measured area and the length of cracks are known, so no figure should be treated as a quote before the visit.
To help the technician arrive prepared, it is useful to have the warehouse plan or a rough sketch, the floor area in square metres, and any records of past leaks, repairs or previous coatings. Note which bays flood, where water pools after rain, and whether the balcony or roof drains are blocked. Photos of visible cracks and the age of the building are also helpful. With this information, the site visit can move straight to testing the slab and agreeing the right system for the warehouse's use.
For warehouses, work is phased around operations and stored goods.
