Why epoxy coating & waterproofing differs in Alqunfudhah

The centre of Alqunfudhah sits about 7 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data). Alqunfudhah is about 0.4 km from the sea coast (OpenStreetMap).

Team note on Alqunfudhah: Kashf teams serve this city and its nearby districts with the same documented inspection standard: device-based leak detection without demolition, a written report, and a clear scope before any work begins..

Restaurant kitchens and back-of-house floors in Alqunfudhah tend to fail in the same way: floors stay wet from washing, grease, and spilled stock, and the constant moisture gets under tiles and into joints. For this reason, the first thing we look at on a restaurant job is the floor and the junction where floor meets wall, because that is where water and cleaning chemicals find their way in. An epoxy coating is often the right answer here, since it gives a continuous, sealed surface that can be washed down daily without lifting at the edges. Typical rates for epoxy coating in our price guide run from SAR 35–90 per m², and the final figure depends on the surface condition and the number of coats needed.

Local conditions change how we approach the work. The centre of Alqunfudhah sits about 7 m above sea level, and the town is about 0.4 km from the sea coast. Because the ground is low and close to the coast, moisture can rise through slabs and collect below floor finishes, so we check for damp before applying any coating. Where moisture is present, a coating alone may not hold, and we may recommend a moisture-tolerant system or a separate waterproofing layer. For areas below ground, such as storerooms or a basement cold room, basement waterproofing ranges from SAR 50–150 per m², and that cost should be planned separately from the kitchen floor. Hairline cracks in slabs should be dealt with first, as crack injection costs SAR 40–120 per metre.

Before the visit, it helps to have a few details ready. Tell us the floor area in m², whether the floor is tiled or bare concrete, and whether you have noticed damp, staining, or cracks. Let us know if there is a basement, storeroom, or water tank on the premises, since tank internal coating (SAR 25–60 per m²) and below-ground work are priced differently. Ask how long the kitchen can be closed and whether the work can be scheduled outside service hours. Finally, ask what preparation you need to do before we arrive, so the site visit gives you a clear and accurate quote.

For restaurants, visits are planned outside service hours and recorded for the premises file.
