Is the floor or balcony of your rest house or farm in Hafr Albatin letting in damp, and will a repair last? Start with the ground under the building. The centre of Hafr Albatin sits about 312 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), so the site and drainage around a property matter as much as the surface you see. For floor and balcony work, the cost depends on the system chosen. Liquid roof waterproofing typically runs SAR 8–25 per m², bitumen membrane SAR 15–35 per m², spray foam SAR 20–45 per m², and epoxy coating SAR 35–90 per m². Crack injection, used where cracks run through a slab, is priced at SAR 40–120 per metre.
A visit begins with a walk across the floor and balcony to find the damp points, cracks, and low spots where water collects. The inspector checks the joints where the balcony meets the wall, the drain outlets, and the edges where tiles have lifted. Cracks are marked and measured so the injection length can be estimated. Where a balcony or roof is open to sun, the surface is checked for old coatings that have peeled or blistered, since these must be removed before a new layer will bond. Any wet patches are noted, and the inspector explains which system suits each area, whether that is a membrane for a balcony, a coating for a floor, or injection for a crack.
Before the visit, clear the balcony and floor of furniture, pot plants, and stored items so the surfaces can be fully seen. Note where you have seen water, when it appears, and whether it follows rain or irrigation at the farm. Make sure the drains and outlets are accessible and free of debris. If the property has a water tank, mention it, because tank internal coating is priced separately at SAR 25–60 per m². Having these details ready lets the visit focus on the real problem areas and gives you a clear, itemised picture of what the repair will involve.
Rest houses and farms often have long buried lines, tanks and irrigation that need separate tests.
