Epoxy coating & waterproofing in Jeddah: with a verifiable technical report
In short: Epoxy coating & waterproofing (with a verifiable technical report) in Jeddah starts with the moisture meter for ceilings and walls, then the thickness measurement at spread-out points, before anything is opened. The centre of Jeddah sits about 15 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data). Pricing starts from Epoxy coating (per m²) (SAR 35–95 per m²), and other items are quoted after the visit.
Before we start: what we know about Jeddah
The centre of Jeddah sits about 15 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data). Jeddah is about 2 km from the sea coast (OpenStreetMap).

Before any product is chosen for an epoxy coating or waterproofing job in Jeddah, the first thing checked is location, because it shapes the moisture and salt the surface will face. The centre of Jeddah sits about 15 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), and the city is about 2 km from the sea coast (OpenStreetMap). That means a property is close enough to the coast for salt-laden air to matter, yet high enough that standing water is not usually the main concern. These two facts guide the first questions: how exposed the walls and floors are to humid sea air, and whether the ground around the building drains away from the foundations or holds water against them.
The site visit is where the real assessment happens, and no written outline can replace it. A technician needs to see the substrate, check for cracks, damp patches, efflorescence and old coatings that may be peeling, and measure the areas that will be worked on. The choice between a basement system, a bathroom system, a tank lining, a roof treatment or a crack injection depends on what is actually there. Drainage, slopes, the condition of existing membranes and the way water currently moves through the structure all have to be observed in person. Where a crack runs and how far it extends can only be confirmed on the wall itself.
Some information helps the technician prepare before arriving. It is useful to know the surface type, such as concrete, block, tile or steel, and whether the area is a basement, a wet room, a roof, a water tank or a floor that will carry foot traffic. Pricing for reference runs from SAR 35–95 per m² for epoxy coating, SAR 55–160 per m² for basement waterproofing, SAR 15–40 per m² for bathroom waterproofing, SAR 25–65 per m² for tank internal coating, and SAR 40–125 per m for crack injection, though the final figure depends on the inspection. Note any past leaks, the age of the building and whether it has been repainted or patched before, since these details help the technician plan the work accurately.
Each job ends with a written report that carries a verification code you can check on our site.
When do you need epoxy coating & waterproofing?
If you notice one of these signs in Jeddah, it is a good moment to talk to the team:
- A tank that needs an easy-to-clean surface
- A warehouse floor that is wearing away
- Oil stains on a floor
The most common causes
- Insufficient preparation — we check this before anything else.
- A damp surface that ruins adhesion — we check this before anything else.
Tools we use in Jeddah
| Tool or method | What it measures | Why it is chosen here |
|---|---|---|
| Fill test with level monitoring | Whether a tank coating holds after the work | Limits: takes time to monitor the level |
| Moisture meter for ceilings and walls | Where water is entering now, from inside | Limits: measures the effect, not the water path |
| Thickness measurement at spread-out points | Whether the thickness in the quote was achieved | Limits: for foam and liquid-applied layers |
The steps in order
- Surface moisture reading: Epoxy is applied only when the substrate is dry enough.
- Careful preparation: Grinding and cleaning for adhesion.
- Layers: Primer and body coats as specified.
- Inspection: Thickness and curing are checked.

Common questions about epoxy coating & waterproofing in Jeddah
Can I use household chemicals instead of calling a technician?
Using unsuitable chemicals may corrode pipes and does not fix the root cause of the blockage, so it is better to rely on a specialist technician.
What is the difference between foam insulation and other types of insulation?
Foam insulation is easy to apply on uneven surfaces and forms one continuous layer with no joints, while other types, such as bitumen rolls, need the joints to be welded. The contractor decides which is most suitable after inspecting the site.
Can thermal insulation be applied to an existing building?
Yes, thermal insulation can be installed on the roofs and walls of existing buildings without the need for major structural modifications. The contractor prepares the surface, then applies the insulating material and the protective layer over it.
Where does epoxy coating & waterproofing (with a verifiable technical report) start in Jeddah?
We start with surface moisture reading (epoxy is applied only when the substrate is dry enough), then careful preparation (grinding and cleaning for adhesion).
What does epoxy coating & waterproofing cost in Jeddah?
From our published price list: Epoxy coating (per m²) SAR 35–95 per m². Quantities are confirmed at the inspection.
What do I receive after the work?
The epoxy system, thickness and curing time, in a technical report that carries a verification code.
What we advise against
- Coating over a damp surface
The written outputs
The written output: the epoxy system, thickness and curing time. The report is numbered and can be checked with its verification code.
Planning the visit in Jeddah
- Have access ready to the water meter, the tank hatches, the roof and the main valve; in apartment buildings the roof keys are often with the building guard (haris).
- Prices are in Saudi riyals (SAR); the final price is confirmed after the inspection, before any work starts.
- Keep photos of the problem and of any earlier repairs — they help the technician compare before and after.
- If you rent, tell your landlord or building management before the visit and agree in writing who pays; the written report can be shared with them.
