Is water seeping into your basement in Baqiq and needing urgent attention? Start by knowing the setting: the centre of Baqiq sits about 83 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), and that is the context in which we assess how water moves through your ground and walls. For basement and foundation work, pricing typically falls between SAR 50 and SAR 150 per m², while crack injection is quoted at SAR 40 to SAR 120 per metre. Where the leak is a hairline split rather than a wide gap, crack injection is often the first line of repair, and where the whole wall is damp, a full basement waterproofing system may be the more sensible route.

When an emergency visit is arranged, the inspection follows a clear sequence. The technician first walks the basement and identifies where moisture is entering, noting cracks, damp patches, and any standing water along the floor edge. They then check the connected areas, since leaks often travel from bathrooms or tanks above, where bathroom waterproofing runs SAR 15 to SAR 40 per m² and tank internal coating runs SAR 25 to SAR 60 per m². The findings are then compared against the material options, such as epoxy coating at SAR 35 to SAR 90 per m², spray foam at SAR 20 to SAR 45 per m², or bitumen membrane at SAR 15 to SAR 35 per m², so you can see which suits the damage and your budget. Each option is explained before any work starts.

To make the visit as productive as possible, prepare a few things beforehand. Clear the area around the affected walls and floor so the technician can reach the cracks and joints, and move any stored items that may be damaged by water. Note when the leak appears, whether after rain, after using water above, or constantly, since this helps pinpoint the source. Take photographs or short videos of the water entry points, and have any previous repair records ready. Keep the power and lighting on so the inspection can be completed without delay.

If water is flowing, close the main valve first, then call or message with photos.

Signs worth paying attention to

These are the signs most often linked to basement & foundation waterproofing:

• Damp basement walls
• Salt marks at the bottom of the walls
• Water seeping in after rain

The most common causes

• Rainwater draining towards the foundation.
• A high groundwater level — we check this before anything else.
• Cracks at construction joints — we check this before anything else.

Tools and methods, and when we use them

How the work is done, step by step

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.
