Epoxy coating & waterproofing in Alula: for companies (annual contract)
In short: In Alula (Alula), epoxy coating & waterproofing (for companies (annual contract)) begins with the moisture meter for ceilings and walls and the thickness measurement at spread-out points; nothing is opened until the position is clear. The centre of Alula sits about 697 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data). Published price: Epoxy coating (per m²), SAR 35–90 per m²; anything else is quoted after the inspection.
Before we start: what we know about Alula
Main roads in or near Alula: King Abdullah Road. The centre of Alula sits about 697 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).
Imagine a company that runs a small office and warehouse complex in Alula. The owner has a concrete floor in the workshop, a basement store for stock, and a rooftop plant area that gets hot by day and cools quickly after dark. Over time, water finds its way into hairline cracks, the floor starts to lift, and the stock room smells damp. The owner wants the problem fixed once and properly, without the disruption of repeated patch jobs every season.
The local setting matters. The centre of Alula sits about 697 m above sea level, so the town is a higher-altitude desert location where daily temperature swings can stress concrete and sealants. For a company, that means the surfaces you protect will expand, contract and crack over time. Pricing also varies by the type of work. Basement waterproofing is quoted at SAR 50–150 per m², epoxy coating at SAR 35–90 per m², and liquid roof waterproofing at SAR 8–25 per m². Crack injection is charged per metre at SAR 40–120 per m. Knowing which parts of your property carry the most risk helps you set the budget where it counts most.
A practical approach starts with a site survey. Walk every floor, the basement, the roof and any water tanks, and mark cracks, damp patches and surfaces that flake. Next, decide the priority areas: basements and workshop floors that carry heavy loads usually come first, followed by roofs and tanks. Then choose the system for each zone. Epoxy coating suits industrial floors, spray foam and XPS boards suit insulation needs, while bitumen membrane and liquid roof systems suit exposed roofs. Tank internal coating at SAR 25–60 per m² protects stored water. Seal cracks with crack injection before any surface coating, because a coating laid over an open crack will fail. Finally, schedule the work in phases so that operations continue, and ask for a written inspection record once each area is complete.
For companies, an annual contract sets the scope, the visit schedule and the reports in writing.
When do you need epoxy coating & waterproofing?
The following signs are worth checking before they grow:
- A warehouse floor that is wearing away
- A tank that needs an easy-to-clean surface
- Oil stains on a floor
The most common causes
- A damp surface that ruins adhesion — we check this before anything else.
- Insufficient preparation — we check this before anything else.
Tools we use in Alula
| Method | What it helps with | Its role in Alula |
|---|---|---|
| Fill test with level monitoring | Whether a tank coating holds after the work | Limits: takes time to monitor the level |
| Thickness measurement at spread-out points | Whether the thickness in the quote was achieved | Limits: for foam and liquid-applied layers |
| Moisture meter for ceilings and walls | Where water is entering now, from inside | Limits: measures the effect, not the water path |
The steps in order
- Surface moisture reading: Epoxy is applied only when the substrate is dry enough.
- Careful preparation: Grinding and cleaning for adhesion.
- Layers: Primer and body coats as specified.
- Inspection: Thickness and curing are checked.

Practical notes for residents of Alula
- If you rent, tell your landlord or building management before the visit and agree in writing who pays; the written report can be shared with them.
- Keep photos of the problem and of any earlier repairs — they help the technician compare before and after.
- Prices are in Saudi riyals (SAR); the final price is confirmed after the inspection, before any work starts.
- Have access ready to the water meter, the tank hatches, the roof and the main valve; in apartment buildings the roof keys are often with the building guard (haris).
