Is it possible to unclog drains without breaking the floors?
In most cases, yes: camera inspection and high-pressure water jetting clear the blockage from drain openings and inspection chambers without breaking anything, except when there is an actual break in the pipes.
Does renovation include treating dampness and insulation?
Usually yes, since dampness treatment is an essential part of renovation, especially in Al-Ahsa. The contractor identifies the source of the leak and then carries out the appropriate insulation. Mention the dampness problem in your request description.

Foam is sprayed on as a continuous layer with no seams and provides both thermal and water insulation, while rolls are separate pieces that require joining and mainly focus on water insulation.
