Before any quote is given for bathroom waterproofing in a warehouse in Madinah, the first thing we check is the ground level and the drainage around the building. The centre of Madinah sits about 589 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), and that height matters because water on a site is shaped by the slope of the land, not only by the rain. We look at where surface water would travel, whether it could reach the base of the walls, and whether the floor sits low enough to collect moisture. A warehouse bathroom that looks dry on the day of the visit may still take water from outside, so the outside edge is checked before the inside is measured.
Several points are left to the site visit, because they cannot be judged from a description. The technician will walk the floor and the walls to find cracks, damp patches, old sealant, and any previous repairs that may have failed. They will note the size of the area, the number of joints and corners, and whether pipe penetrations or floor drains need separate attention. The choice between a liquid membrane, a bitumen layer, epoxy coating or spray foam depends on what is already there and how the space is used, so the final method is agreed only after the surfaces have been seen. Pricing is then worked out from the measured area and the method chosen, using the published ranges: bathroom waterproofing at SAR 15–40 per m², epoxy coating at SAR 35–90 per m², and crack injection at SAR 40–120 per metre.
To help the technician, it is useful to have the warehouse plans, the approximate size of the bathroom, and any notes on past leaks or repairs ready before the visit. Please say whether the bathroom is used constantly or only occasionally, and whether there is a basement or a water tank nearby, since these change what needs covering. Clear access to the ceiling, the floor drain and the outside wall also saves time on the day. With this information, the technician can explain which parts are checked first, which parts are confirmed on site, and what the final scope will cover.
For warehouses, work is phased around operations and stored goods.

Short answers for Madinah
What is the difference between standard spraying and integrated pest management?
Standard spraying treats visible symptoms only, while integrated pest management includes diagnosis, sealing entry points, and multiple methods for longer-lasting results.
Could the leak be caused by weak waterproofing rather than the pipes?
Yes, damage to the waterproofing layer beneath the bathroom floor is one of the most common causes of leaks, especially in older buildings. In this case, water seeps through the tile joints into the screed and then down to the ceiling below. A specialized inspection can distinguish this from a pipe leak.
What is the difference between drain unblocking and drain cleaning?
Unblocking removes an existing blockage that prevents drainage, while cleaning is a preventive procedure that removes deposits and grease from pipes before they cause a blockage.
