Al Mrwj has both villas and apartment buildings.

Al Mrwj sits at 24.7578, 46.6637, about 5 km from the centre of Riyadh, with an approximate radius of 2.1 km, and the district mixes villas with apartment buildings. Because a villa is often a single household's full envelope, a technician usually begins by confirming which parts of the property are in scope for spray foam, such as external walls, roof sections or rooms with a cooling load, before any material is ordered. The district's elevation is a useful starting point for the site check. The centre of Al Mrwj sits about 635 m above sea level, and the nearest wadi channel is about 2.8 km from the centre, so drainage paths and any seepage on lower walls deserve a look before the foam is applied.

Several items are left to the site visit, because they depend on conditions that cannot be judged from a desk. The technician will inspect the substrate for moisture, dust and loose render, check existing cracks, and decide whether crack injection or other preparation is needed first. Roof falls, parapet details and the condition of any old bitumen or liquid roof layers are also assessed on site. Access to the building, the height of the walls and the layout of services such as pipes and cable runs will shape the method and the planning. Where a property has both a basement and a bathroom, the technician will walk the spaces and note where water may be entering, since that affects which system is suitable.

To help the technician prepare, it is useful to have the property address, a rough sketch of the villa with its external wall and roof areas in square metres, and any previous repair records or waterproofing invoices. Please also mention whether there is a basement, a water tank that may need internal coating, and any rooms where leaks or damp have been noticed. Indicative rates in the market run from SAR 20–45 per m² for spray foam, SAR 10–25 per m² for liquid roof waterproofing, and SAR 40–125 per metre for crack injection, so clear measurements allow a more accurate estimate once the site visit is complete.

Villas often have several lines and tanks; we test them one at a time so the cause is clear.
