Before we start: what we know about Buraydah

Team note on Buraydah: 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 Buraydah sits about 606 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).

Epoxy coating and waterproofing work in Buraydah starts with a simple check of the site's height and surface conditions. The centre of Buraydah sits about 606 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), and this elevation shapes how the technician reads the structure before any material is chosen. Before quoting, the first step is to look at the floor, walls and any existing coatings, noting whether the surface is sound, dusty, oily or flaking. Cracks are logged by length, since crack injection is priced per metre at SAR 40–115 per m, and the technician records where each crack runs so the scope is clear from the start.

Several decisions are left to the site visit itself. The choice between epoxy coating (SAR 35–85 per m²), spray foam (SAR 20–45 per m²), liquid roof waterproofing (SAR 10–25 per m²) or a bitumen membrane (SAR 15–35 per m²) depends on the surface, how it is used and how much water it must resist. Basement waterproofing ranges from SAR 50–145 per m² and bathroom waterproofing from SAR 15–40 per m², so the technician confirms the area type on site before the figure is fixed. Tank internal coating (SAR 25–55 per m²) and XPS boards (SAR 10–30 per m²) are only considered once the visit shows whether they suit the structure. The visit also confirms access, ventilation and whether the area can be kept dry during curing.

For the technician, the most useful information is a clear record of measurements, surface condition photos and the crack lengths in metres. Note the area in square metres for each zone so the price per m² can be applied to each section separately. Mark any damp patches, previous repairs and the condition of the drainage. Keep the notes short, with the zone name, the measured area and the chosen system, so the homeowner or property manager can review the scope and the expected cost range before work begins.

Preventive checks follow a written schedule instead of waiting for a fault.
