Warehouse floors and balconies rarely fail in the same way. On a warehouse floor, the most common problem is moisture rising through the slab and cracks that open under heavy forklift and pallet traffic, which then let water track underneath the coating. Balconies and external surfaces, by contrast, usually fail at joints and edges where rainwater sits and seeps in. Before any work starts, the surface and its cracks need to be checked, because a coating laid over a moving or damp slab will lift within a short time.
Hafr Albatin sits at roughly 312 m above sea level, which is a useful fact when planning the approach. The centre of Hafr Albatin sits about 312 m above sea level, so the site is not low-lying ground where water pools for long periods, and drainage on the external areas should still be reviewed rather than assumed. The elevation also means the work is planned around the dry, hot conditions typical of this inland part of the Eastern Province, with surfaces checked for dryness before any coating goes on. For warehouse floors, a cracked slab is usually treated with crack injection, priced per metre, before a surface system such as epoxy coating or a membrane is applied. Pricing for each option differs widely, from crack injection at SAR 40–120 per metre to epoxy coating at SAR 35–90 per m², so the scope should be agreed in writing before work begins.
Before the visit, ask the provider a few direct questions. Ask how they will test for moisture in the slab and whether the cracks have been mapped and measured. Ask which system they propose for the warehouse floor, and why it suits the load and the traffic, and whether the balcony will use liquid roof waterproofing or a bitumen membrane. Ask for the price range each item falls under, so that you can compare the quote against the ranges listed for each method. Finally, ask who will carry out the work and what the drying time is before the floor can return to use, since a rushed cure is one of the most common reasons these systems fail early.
For warehouses, work is phased around operations and stored goods.
