Before we start: what we know about Baqiq

Floor and balcony waterproofing in Baqiq most often fails at the joints and the edges, where water finds its way under tiles and into the slab below. Balconies are especially exposed because they drain outward and collect rain on the surface, so small cracks at the threshold or around the drain can allow water to seep in over time. Inside a home, the bathroom floor is the usual trouble spot, and the same weakness appears where the wall meets the floor.
Baqiq sits about 83 m above sea level at its centre, and that setting shapes how we approach each job. Because the ground here is not low-lying, we normally focus on directing water away from the building rather than pooling it, so the detailing of falls, drains and edge upstands matters as much as the membrane itself. The price guide below reflects this: a bathroom floor is typically priced at SAR 15–40 per m², while a balcony is often treated with a liquid roof-style system at SAR 8–25 per m² or a bitumen membrane at SAR 15–35 per m², depending on how much movement the slab shows. Where cracks run through the surface, crack injection at SAR 40–120 per metre is added on top of the area work.
Before the visit, ask the provider to confirm which system they propose for your floor and why, and whether the price covers the edge detailing and drain connection. Ask them to point out the cracks they plan to inject and to measure the area so the quote is based on m² and metres of crack, not a single lump sum. Check whether the quote includes preparation such as cleaning and drying, since that step decides how long the work lasts. Finally, ask how the surface will be protected during curing and how long you should keep it free of foot traffic before use.
