Team note on Unaizah: 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..

Bathroom waterproofing in villas in Unaizah most often fails at the junctions: where the shower floor meets the wall, around the drain, and along the edges of the tiled floor. Water that tracks into these gaps can reach the slab below and the walls behind the tiles long before any leak is visible on the surface. Many homeowners only notice damp patches or peeling paint once the problem has spread, so the first job is usually to find and seal these joints properly rather than simply recoating the floor.
Unaizah sits at roughly 667 m above sea level, which shapes the approach here. Local conditions and the range of work available mean a bathroom treatment is usually priced per square metre within a set band: bathroom waterproofing runs SAR 15–40 per m², epoxy coating SAR 35–85 per m², and spray foam SAR 20–45 per m². Where a villa also has a separate basement, basement waterproofing is charged at SAR 50–145 per m², and any visible cracks in walls are typically treated with crack injection at SAR 40–115 per metre. Because these treatments differ in cost and in how well they suit a wet room, a good survey should explain why one method is recommended over another for your specific bathroom, rather than offering a single standard solution.
Before the visit, ask the provider to confirm the area they will measure, and whether the quote covers the walls, the shower zone, and the drain junction, not just the floor. Ask which product they plan to use and what the rate per square metre is for that product. Check whether any crack repair is included or charged separately per metre. Ask how long the treated area should stay unused before tiling or use, and whether the quote covers making good after the work. Clear answers to these questions will make the final price easier to compare and reduce surprises on the day.
Villas often have several lines and tanks; we test them one at a time so the cause is clear.
