Is coastal damp in an apartment in Khafji something an owner needs to plan for? The town's centre sits about 9 m above sea level, and it is roughly 2 km from the sea coast. That position means salt-laden air and moisture can reach walls, floors and wet areas, so a clear inspection before any coating work is a practical first step rather than a formality.
Our visit for epoxy coating and waterproofing in apartments follows a set sequence. The technician first looks at the surfaces that will receive the work, including floors, bathroom walls and any cracks. Where a crack is present, the price for crack injection is SAR 40–120 per m, and the technician will measure its length so the quote reflects the actual run. Bathroom waterproofing is priced at SAR 15–40 per m², and epoxy coating at SAR 35–90 per m², with the final figure depending on the surface and its condition. Spray foam, at SAR 20–45 per m², and liquid roof waterproofing, at SAR 8–25 per m², are discussed where the building's exposure calls for them.
Before the visit, it helps to clear the rooms to be inspected and make sure the technician can reach bathrooms, balconies and any roof access. Note any past leaks, stains or areas that stay damp, and mention whether the wet area is a bathroom, kitchen or balcony. If the apartment has a basement or shared storage, let us know that too, since basement waterproofing is priced at SAR 50–150 per m². Having these details ready allows the inspection to focus on the problem areas and gives you a clearer, more accurate quotation.
In apartment buildings, the floor below is often where a leak shows first.

Tools and methods, and when we use them
| Tool | What it finds | When we use it in Khafji |
|---|---|---|
| Fill test with level monitoring | Whether a tank coating holds after the work | Limits: takes time to monitor the level |
| Thickness measurement at spread-out points | Whether the thickness in the quote was achieved | Limits: for foam and liquid-applied layers |
| Moisture meter for ceilings and walls | Where water is entering now, from inside | Limits: measures the effect, not the water path |
From the first visit to the report
- 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.
