Our technical recommendations for waterproofing in Al Kharj

Irregular but sometimes heavy rain

Rain in Al Kharj is irregular but can arrive heavily in a short time, which is when waterproofing and drainage defects suddenly appear. A preventive check before winter saves the cost of repairs after damage.

Inspection before pricing

Every building in Al Kharj has its own condition, so we rely on an on-site inspection to set the material, thickness and cost accurately, and offer a remote preliminary diagnosis through the smart assistant.

Materials we choose from

  • Modified bituminous membrane (SBS/APP): Torch-applied rolls, common for roofs and foundations.
  • Liquid rubberised bitumen: For foundations and below-grade walls.
  • Cementitious and crystalline systems: For tanks, basements and surfaces in constant contact with water.
  • Liquid polyurethane coatings: Flexible and seamless, for roofs and complex areas.

Work stages

  1. Identify the water source and pressure direction
  2. Prepare the surface and treat cracks
  3. Primer
  4. Install the system with correct overlaps
  5. Protect the waterproofing from mechanical damage

Indicative ranges before VAT. A system's real life depends on the product, workmanship and maintenance, so we state it in the written quote and warranty rather than a generic table.

Warranty and compliance

You receive a written warranty whose period depends on the insulation type and surface condition, with a handover report documenting materials and tests (flood, adhesion, thickness).
