Basement & foundation waterproofing in Baljurashi: without breaking

Before we start: what we know about Baljurashi

Team note on Baljurashi: 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 Baljurashi sits about 2039 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).

Main roads in or near Baljurashi: King Abdulaziz Road.

Baljurashi sits at about 2039 m above sea level, which is high enough that the site visit should start with how water moves across the plot rather than with the wall itself. Before any quote is written, the technician checks where rain runoff from higher ground will meet the basement walls and whether the surrounding levels slope toward the building. In a town this elevated, a basement can still take water from the surface after heavy storms, so the first question is always the drainage path around the structure, not the depth of the excavation.

Some points are left to the visit itself, because they cannot be judged from a description. The technician will look at the condition of the walls and floor, trace each crack and decide whether it needs injection, and check whether moisture is coming through the slab, through joints, or from a pipe or tank nearby. The area to be treated is measured on site, since basement waterproofing is priced per square metre within a range of SAR 50–150 per m², and crack injection is priced per metre at SAR 40–120 per m. Where bathrooms, roofs or water tanks are involved, the same measuring applies, with bathroom work at SAR 15–40 per m², liquid roof waterproofing at SAR 8–25 per m², and tank internal coating at SAR 25–60 per m². The choice of system, whether epoxy coating at SAR 35–90 per m², spray foam at SAR 20–45 per m², bitumen membrane at SAR 15–35 per m², or XPS boards at SAR 12–30 per m², depends on what the visit reveals.

To help the technician prepare, it is useful to have the building's age, any past leak repairs, and a note of where water was last seen, whether along a wall, at a corner, or on the floor after rain. Access to the basement and the roof should be arranged in advance, and any existing drawings or plot levels are worth sharing. Clear notes on which areas are used for storage or living space also help the technician plan the work with minimal disruption.

The aim is to locate the cause with instruments first, so any opening is limited to one point.

Tools and methods, and when we use them

The steps in order

1. Finding the source: Groundwater, rain or a pipe — each needs a different treatment.
2. Preparation: Surfaces are cleaned and opened where needed.
3. Injection: Active cracks are injected.
4. Waterproofing layers: The system is applied on the right side of the wall where possible.
5. Follow-up: Readings are repeated after the treatment.
