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 coming through your basement walls in Turaif, and what will it cost to stop it? The centre of Turaif sits about 827 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), and that is the setting in which most local basement problems start. Basement waterproofing is priced at SAR 50–150 per m², and crack injection, which is the usual fix for a single leaking seam, is priced at SAR 40–120 per metre. Where the damage is spread across the walls rather than concentrated in one line, a membrane or coating is the more likely answer, and the price per square metre for each option is set out in the figures below.

Once you have described the problem, the inspection follows a set order. The technician first walks the basement and notes where dampness, staining or efflorescence appears, then looks for cracks and measures their length in metres so that crack injection can be quoted per metre. Next the surfaces are assessed in square metres, since epoxy coating runs SAR 35–90 per m², spray foam SAR 20–45 per m², and bitumen membrane SAR 15–35 per m². If the basement is linked to a water tank, its internal surface is checked too, with tank internal coating priced at SAR 25–60 per m². The inspection ends with a written comparison of the options, so you can see which surfaces need work and what each choice will cost before anything is started.

Before the visit, gather what will help the technician give you an accurate figure. Measure or estimate the floor and wall area of the basement in square metres, and note the total length of any visible cracks in metres. Make a list of where water appears and when, such as after rain or during the wet season, and take photographs of the stains and any cracks. If the bathroom or roof also leaks, mention it now, because bathroom waterproofing is SAR 15–40 per m², liquid roof waterproofing is SAR 8–25 per m², and XPS boards, used for insulation against damp, are SAR 12–30 per m². Clear access to the basement and to any tank or plant room will let the inspection proceed without delay.
