Waterproofing in Riyadh

Leaks don't just ruin paint, water reaches the reinforcement and weakens the concrete over time. We choose the waterproofing system for the location, not one material for everything.

Overview

What you should know about waterproofing

Waterproofing is a continuous layer that prevents water and moisture from penetrating concrete. The system depends on the location: an exposed roof needs UV resistance, a buried foundation needs resistance to soil pressure and groundwater, and a tank needs a potable-safe material.

The most common failure we see is a good material in the wrong place, or applied without treating cracks and corners. Substrate preparation is half the success of any waterproofing.

Where it fits

Roofs and annexes

Stop rain reaching the top floor.

Foundations and basements
