Basement & foundation waterproofing in Turaif: for companies (annual contract)

Before we start: what we know about Turaif

The centre of Turaif sits about 827 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).

Is water seeping into your basement or through the foundation walls in Turaif, and what will it cost to stop it? Turaif sits at about 827 m above sea level, and the prices for this work depend on the method and the area involved. Basement waterproofing is priced at SAR 50–150 per m², epoxy coating at SAR 35–90 per m², and spray foam at SAR 20–45 per m². Crack injection, which seals a visible leak line, is charged at SAR 40–120 per metre. Bitumen membrane runs SAR 15–35 per m², and XPS boards SAR 12–30 per m², so the right choice depends on how the wall is built and where the water is coming from.

Inspection starts with a walk through the basement and foundation to find the source of moisture. The inspector checks for cracks and marks where the wall meets the floor, looks at the condition of the existing finish, and notes any damp patches, staining or efflorescence. Where the leak is suspected to come from above, the roof is checked as well, since liquid roof waterproofing is priced at SAR 8–25 per m² and is often the fix for surface leaks. Wet areas such as bathrooms are assessed separately, with bathroom waterproofing at SAR 15–40 per m². The inspector then measures the affected surfaces in square metres and linear metres so that the quote reflects the real scope of work rather than an estimate.

Before the visit, gather what you already know about the property so the inspector can work efficiently. Note where you have seen water, when it appears (after rain, during watering, or constantly), and whether any previous repairs were carried out. If the building has a water tank, mention it, because tank internal coating is priced at SAR 25–60 per m² and needs to be included in the survey. Clear access to the basement walls, floor and any storage areas, and make sure the roof hatch or access point is reachable. Having these details ready helps the team recommend the right method and gives you a clear, itemised quote for the work.

For companies, an annual contract sets the scope, the visit schedule and the reports in writing.

Tools and methods, and when we use them

How the work is done, step by step

1. Finding the source: Groundwater, rain or a pipe — each needs a different treatment.
2. Preparation: Surfaces are cleaned and opened where needed.
3. Injection: Active cracks are injected.
4. Waterproofing layers: The system is applied on the right side of the wall where possible.
5. Follow-up: Readings are repeated after the treatment.
