Floor & balcony waterproofing in Alqurayyat: with a verifiable technical report

Before we start: what we know about Alqurayyat

Team note on Alqurayyat: 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.. The centre of Alqurayyat sits about 497 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).

Floor and balcony leaks in Alqurayyat usually start at the joints. Where tiles meet the wall, where a balcony slab meets the door sill, and where a drain pipe passes through the floor, small gaps let water seep down into the slab below. The result is often damp patches on ceilings and flaking paint long before the surface looks broken. Because the problem hides under finished tiles, it is worth checking the edges and drain outlets first, not just the middle of the floor.

Alqurayyat sits at roughly 497 m above sea level, which shapes how we approach the work. The centre of Alqurayyat sits about 497 m above sea level, so the area is not a flood-prone low point, but rain still arrives in short, heavy bursts that push water toward any weak seam. That is why a balcony that drains poorly or a floor edge with a hairline crack needs sealing before a coating is applied over it. Our approach starts with cutting out loose screed at cracks and drain points, then choosing a system that suits the exposure. Crack injection is priced at SAR 40–120 per metre, liquid roof waterproofing at SAR 8–25 per m², and bitumen membrane at SAR 15–35 per m², so the right choice depends on the surface, not on a single default product.

Before the visit, ask a few clear questions. Ask which floor or balcony area is affected and whether the leak shows on the ceiling below, since that tells us where to look. Ask whether the surface is a bathroom, a balcony, or an open terrace, because bathroom waterproofing is priced at SAR 15–40 per m² and open terraces follow different rules. Ask how long the damp has been visible and whether any tiles sound hollow when tapped. Having these answers ready lets the visit focus on the real source of water instead of guesswork.

Each job ends with a written report that carries a verification code you can check on our site.
