Basement & foundation waterproofing in Tabuk: the local context

Team note on Tabuk: 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 Tabuk sits about 762 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).

Is water coming through the walls of your basement or farm store, and how much will it cost to stop it? In Tabuk, the answer starts with the ground itself. The centre of Tabuk sits about 762 m above sea level, and our pricing for below-ground work runs from SAR 50–145 per m² for basement waterproofing, with crack injection priced at SAR 40–115 per m. Because the cost depends on how much area and how many cracks need treating, a site visit is the only reliable way to get a firm figure for a rest house or farm.

The inspection begins with a walk around the outside of the structure to see how rainwater and irrigation runoff reach the foundation, followed by a check of the inside walls and floor for damp patches, staining, and visible cracks. We measure the affected areas in square metres and mark each crack in metres so the quote matches the real work. Where water is entering through a roof or a tank, the same approach applies: we measure the surface, note the condition of the existing coating, and recommend a system from the options that suit that surface, such as liquid roof waterproofing at SAR 10–25 per m², bitumen membrane at SAR 15–35 per m², or tank internal coating at SAR 25–55 per m². Each recommendation is explained so you can see why one method suits your site better than another.

Before the visit, gather a few things that make the inspection faster and the quote more accurate. Note where you have seen water, when it appears (after rain, during irrigation, or all year), and whether any repairs were done before. Clear access to the basement, the roof, and any storage tanks so the technician can work without moving equipment. If you have plans or sketches of the building, have them ready, along with the approximate size of each room or roof area. With this information, the inspection can focus on the real problem and you will receive a clear breakdown of the work and its cost.

Rest houses and farms often have long buried lines, tanks and irrigation that need separate tests.
