What is specific about Qatif for epoxy coating & waterproofing

Team note on Qatif: Kashf teams serve this city and its nearby districts with the same documented inspection standard: device-based leak detection without demolition, a written report, and a clear scope before any work begins.. The centre of Qatif sits about 5 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).

Qatif is about 2.5 km from the sea coast (OpenStreetMap).

Picture a homeowner in Qatif who has noticed a damp patch spreading across a garage floor, or a tiled bathroom wall that never quite dries after a shower. Like many owners of older villas and apartments in the area, they want the problem fixed once, without tearing out finished surfaces, and they want to know what the job should realistically cost before a contractor arrives. Their first question is usually which system suits which part of the building, since a basement, a bathroom, a flat roof and a water tank each face different pressures.

The location matters here. The centre of Qatif sits about 5 m above sea level, and the town is about 2.5 km from the sea coast. That combination means ground moisture and salt-laden air can both reach the structure, so a surface that resists water from above may still need protection from moisture rising through the slab or migrating through walls. For an owner, this points to choosing coatings and membranes deliberately for each zone rather than applying one product everywhere, and to checking cracks and joints first, because water usually finds its way through those weak points before anything else.

A sensible sequence starts with inspection: walk the basement, bathroom, roof and tank, and mark every crack and damp line. Next, deal with cracks, since crack injection is priced per metre and is usually needed before any surface system goes on. Then match the surface to the space. Basement waterproofing typically falls in the range of SAR 50–150 per m², while bathroom waterproofing sits at SAR 15–40 per m². Epoxy coating, suited to floors and tanks, is SAR 35–90 per m², and tank internal coating is SAR 25–60 per m². For flat roofs, liquid roof waterproofing costs SAR 8–25 per m² and a bitumen membrane SAR 15–35 per m², while spray foam ranges from SAR 20–45 per m² and XPS insulation boards from SAR 12–30 per m². Ask for quantities measured per square metre so quotes can be compared line by line, and confirm the surface is dry and clean before work begins.

Each job ends with a written report that carries a verification code you can check on our site.

• A warehouse floor that is wearing away

The most common causes

• Insufficient preparation.
• A common cause: a damp surface that ruins adhesion.

Tools and methods, and when we use them

How the work is done, step by step

1. Surface moisture reading: Epoxy is applied only when the substrate is dry enough.
2. Careful preparation: Grinding and cleaning for adhesion.
3. Layers: Primer and body coats as specified.
4. Inspection: Thickness and curing are checked.
