Before we start: what we know about Almuzahimiyah
The centre of Almuzahimiyah sits about 889 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).
Almuzahimiyah sits outside Riyadh's central districts, and the facts for this page focus on the cost side of roof and waterproofing work. The published ranges for basement wall treatment run from 50 to 150 riyals per square metre, bathroom and balcony floor insulation from 15 to 40 riyals per square metre, and protective or reflective coating from 10 to 30 riyals per square metre. Because a rain leak in an older building often comes from more than one surface, these ranges help you see how the work is typically split across areas.
For a roof leak, the first question is whether the existing roof surface must be removed before new insulation goes on. On an older building this is often the deciding factor, so the team checks the layers already in place, any ponding, and where water is entering the structure. The same check applies to the water tank, since you need to know which insulation type suits it before any spray or membrane is applied. If spray foam is part of the plan, the team also confirms whether it needs a protective layer afterwards, because that affects both the scope and the final cost.
Before the visit, gather any earlier repair records, photos of the leak taken during rain, and a note of which rooms show damp. Ask the team which of the three published ranges applies to your situation, whether the old roof must come off first, and whether a protective coating is included or added separately. Clear answers to these questions make the estimate easier to compare with the published figures.

Short answers for Almuzahimiyah
Does an old building need the old roof surface removed before insulation?
It depends on the condition of the roof surface and the type of insulation chosen. If the surface is sound, the insulation is applied over it after cleaning and treatment, and if it is damaged, the contractor may recommend repairing it or removing the damaged layers first.
Does spray foam need a protective coating after application?
Yes, an acrylic or similar protective coating is applied to shield the foam from sunlight. This coating is essential for maintaining insulation efficiency and extending its lifespan.
How do I know the right type of insulation for my water tank?
The type is determined by whether the tank is underground or overhead and the water usage. Drinking water tanks are usually insulated with safe materials like epoxy or specialized cement after contractor inspection.
