Why epoxy coating & waterproofing differs in Tarout

The centre of Tarout sits about 3 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data). Tarout is about 0.9 km from the sea coast (OpenStreetMap).

Team note on Tarout: 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.. Main roads in or near Tarout: Uhud Road, Al Khaleej Road, Al Aimmah Bridge.

Restaurant floors take a beating that most other commercial spaces never face. Grease, hot water, spilled oil, cleaning chemicals and constant foot traffic wear down ordinary screed and tile grout, and once moisture gets beneath the surface the result is cracking, lifting and a kitchen floor that is hard to keep hygienic. In Tarout, epoxy coating is usually the first line of defence for kitchen and prep areas, because a seamless resin film closes the joints where grease and water would otherwise collect. Epoxy coating typically costs SAR 35–90 per m², and it is often paired with crack injection at SAR 40–120 per metre where hairline cracks have already opened.

Tarout's location changes how that work should be approached. The centre of Tarout sits about 3 m above sea level, and the town is about 0.9 km from the sea coast. That combination means the ground can hold moisture and salt-laden air can reach building surfaces, so a surface system alone may not be enough for areas below ground or near damp walls. Before any coating goes down, the substrate needs to be checked for moisture and sealed where it rises through the slab. For back-of-house rooms, store areas and any basement, a waterproofing layer should be specified alongside the epoxy, with basement waterproofing at SAR 50–150 per m² and bitumen membrane at SAR 15–35 per m² as common options. Where the restaurant has a water tank on site, tank internal coating at SAR 25–60 per m² is a separate job that should be priced on its own line.

Before the visit, ask the provider to confirm which areas are dry and which are at risk, and whether a moisture reading will be taken on site. Ask which parts of the floor are wet-processing zones, since these need a coating that tolerates hot water and cleaning agents. Request a breakdown that separates epoxy coating, crack injection and any waterproofing so you can compare each element fairly. Find out how long the kitchen can stay closed and whether work can be phased around service hours. Finally, ask what preparation you must complete beforehand, such as clearing equipment and shutting off drains, so the team can start on the agreed day.

For restaurants, visits are planned outside service hours and recorded for the premises file.

Signs that call for epoxy coating & waterproofing

If you notice one of these signs in Tarout, it is a good moment to talk to the team:

• A tank that needs an easy-to-clean surface
• A warehouse floor that is wearing away
• Oil stains on a floor

The most common causes

• Insufficient preparation — we check this before anything else.
• A common cause: a damp surface that ruins adhesion.

Tools and methods, and when we use them

The steps in order

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.
