Common questions about general contracting & turnkey in Dammam
How long does waterproofing take?
It depends on the area, the material type, and the surface condition. Residential roofs are usually completed within a few days, including preparation and testing.
Are the disinfectants used for sterilization safe for drinking water?
Yes, disinfectants specifically designed for drinking water tanks are used at specified concentrations, and the tank is rinsed thoroughly afterward to remove any residue. We recommend asking about the type of materials before starting.
