Is it worth waterproofing a floor or balcony in Tarout, and what will it cost? Tarout sits about 3 m above sea level, and the sea coast is about 0.9 km away, so the local ground and air carry moisture that can work its way into floors and balconies over time. For a balcony or floor slab, the price depends on the method and the area involved. Bitumen membrane runs SAR 15–35 per m², spray foam SAR 20–45 per m², and epoxy coating SAR 35–90 per m². Crack injection, often needed where balcony edges have split, is priced at SAR 40–120 per metre. These are the published ranges, and the right choice depends on what the inspection finds.

A proper visit starts with a walk over the surface to mark cracks, ponding spots, stains on the ceiling below, and any tile that sounds hollow when tapped. The technician will measure the floor or balcony area in square metres and the length of each crack in metres, so that the quote matches the real work. Where water has come through from above, the inspector will check the slope and drainage outlets, since a blocked drain can undo any coating. For balconies, the edge joints and the junction with the wall are checked closely, because that is where leaks most often start. The inspector then recommends a method, such as liquid roof waterproofing at SAR 8–25 per m² for open roof areas, or a membrane or coating for floors that see foot traffic.

Before the visit, clear the balcony or floor of furniture, pots and stored items so the surface can be inspected fully. Note where you have seen leaks, damp patches or cracks, and when they appeared, as this helps the inspector trace the source. Have your plan or rough sketch of the space ready, with approximate measurements if you have them. Keep any previous waterproofing records or invoices, because they show what was applied before. Finally, decide whether the work is limited to one balcony or covers the whole floor, since the area you choose sets the final cost within the ranges above.
