Is water seeping through your basement walls in Baqiq, and how do you know whether the fix is worth the cost? The centre of Baqiq sits about 83 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), and that is the first thing to keep in mind when you plan any work below ground. Waterproofing a basement or foundation is priced per square metre, typically between SAR 50 and SAR 150 per m² for basement waterproofing, while crack injection is priced per metre, at SAR 40 to SAR 120 per m. Where the damage is a hairline crack in a single wall, injection may be the right answer; where moisture covers large areas, a full membrane or coating system is usually the better route. The figures give you a starting point, but they do not replace a look at your own walls.

The visit normally begins with a walk-through of the basement and foundation to identify where water enters, how far the staining reaches, and whether the cracks are active or old. The technician will measure the affected wall and floor areas in square metres and note any linear cracks in metres, since these measurements drive the quote. Surfaces are checked for loose render, efflorescence and damp patches, and the inspector will explain which system suits each zone. Options such as epoxy coating (SAR 35 to SAR 90 per m²), spray foam (SAR 20 to SAR 45 per m²), bitumen membrane (SAR 15 to SAR 35 per m²) and XPS boards (SAR 12 to SAR 30 per m²) are weighed against the conditions found on site rather than chosen in advance. Where a room below ground also holds a water tank, tank internal coating at SAR 25 to SAR 60 per m² can be assessed in the same visit.

Before the visit, clear the basement as far as you can so the walls and floor are reachable, and move stored items away from any damp areas. Note when you first noticed water, whether it appears after rain or constantly, and take photographs of the cracks and stains, which help the inspector judge the cause. Have measurements of the basement length, width and height ready, and mention any previous repairs or coatings you know of. If a bathroom or roof is also a concern, list those areas too, since bathroom waterproofing (SAR 15 to SAR 40 per m²) and liquid roof waterproofing (SAR 8 to SAR 25 per m²) can be quoted together. Being ready with this information lets the visit focus on finding the real source of moisture.

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