Why we never waterproof a basement before knowing where the water comes from

Prepared by Kashf’s technical team · editorial review · Last updated: · Editorial policy (Arabic)

اقرأ Here is what this page is for بالعربية

A neat internal membrane over an unknown water source fails at the first season. That is why our service starts with diagnosis and ends with follow-up.

Diagnosis before material

We check the surroundings, the water level and the water lines before proposing any material; sometimes the cheapest fix is drainage, not waterproofing.

Materials for negative pressure

In an existing building we use materials that withstand water pressure from behind the wall, not surface paints.

Cracks are injected, not hidden

Injection fills the crack to its depth and stops active water; filler only hides it.

Structural matters for the engineer

We say it plainly: waterproofing does not treat settlement or a structural crack; we recommend a licensed engineer when indicators exist.

What you actually get

  • Source identified before waterproofing.
  • Injection for active cracks and negative-pressure materials.
  • Follow-up after the first rain and documentation.
  • A numbered warranty stating its limits.

Frequently asked questions

Do you do external waterproofing on an existing building?

Possible if excavation around the building is feasible; we compare both options in the quote.

On-site service is available in Saudi Arabia; the guides and tools can be read anywhere.

This page is informational and educational. Confirming a leak, an insulation condition or a pest infestation always requires an on-site assessment, and structural questions are for a licensed engineer. We do not publish promises we cannot prove.
