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).

Is it worth waterproofing your floor and balcony before summer or the rainy season in Alqurayyat? For most owners the answer depends on how the surface is holding up now. Alqurayyat's town centre sits about 497 m above sea level, and the way rain and heat affect a balcony slab or a ground floor is worth understanding before the seasons change. Floor and balcony work is usually priced per square metre, and the facts show a clear range: liquid roof waterproofing runs SAR 8–25 per m², bitumen membrane SAR 15–35 per m², spray foam SAR 20–45 per m², and epoxy coating SAR 35–90 per m². Choosing the right system depends on the surface, its exposure and what the inspection finds.

A site visit normally starts by walking the floor and balcony to look for cracks, ponding water, stains on the ceiling below, and any sign of moisture where walls meet the floor. Cracks are measured in metres, since crack injection is charged per metre at SAR 40–120 per m. The technician then checks the drainage outlets, the slope of the surface and the condition of any old coating that may be lifting or peeling. Where moisture is suspected under the finish, the inspector notes the likely cause so the recommended system matches the problem rather than simply covering it. The findings are then compared against the material options, so the owner sees both the work needed and the cost range for each square metre.

Before the visit, clear the balcony and floor of furniture, plants and loose items so the surface can be inspected in full. Note any leaks, damp patches or areas where water pools after rain, and take photographs if you can, as they help show when problems started. Make sure the inspector can reach the roof access or the rooms below if the leak may come from above. Having a rough idea of the floor area and balcony size in square metres will make the estimate more useful. Doing these steps ahead of summer or the rainy season gives you time to compare options calmly instead of reacting to water damage later.

Checks before summer and before the rain season catch problems while they are still small.
