The most common problem we see in offices and commercial complexes is water getting through floors and balconies where they meet walls, drains and joints. Balconies with tiles laid over an old membrane often trap water, and that moisture then appears as staining on ceilings in the offices below. Hairline cracks in concrete slabs are another frequent cause of leaks, and they tend to widen over time under daily foot traffic and temperature change.
In Alnuayriyah, the local conditions shape how we approach each job. The centre of Alnuayriyah sits about 49 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), so surface drainage on many sites is shaped by the slope of the ground and the layout of the complex rather than by low-lying flooding. We look closely at where rainwater runs off balconies and roofs, and whether drains are blocked or set too high. For floors and balconies in commercial buildings, the usual options include liquid roof waterproofing at SAR 8–25 per m², bitumen membrane at SAR 15–35 per m², and epoxy coating at SAR 35–90 per m² where a durable, easy-to-clean finish is needed. Where cracks are present, crack injection is priced at SAR 40–120 per metre, and we treat the crack before the surface system goes down.
Before the visit, it helps to have a few details ready. Tell us the type of area involved, such as an open balcony, a service floor or a shared terrace, and whether the problem is leaking into a room below. Note where you have seen water, whether the cracks are visible, and roughly how old the existing surface is. Ask whether the site has a basement or water tank nearby, since those need their own approach. Finally, ask for a written breakdown of the work and the rate for each part, so you can compare the options against the price ranges above before anything is agreed.
For offices and commercial complexes, work is scheduled to avoid disrupting staff and visitors.

The most common causes
