What sets this area apart

Wafra is a rural residential area with villas and small apartment buildings on relatively large plots; older structures are prone to moisture due to proximity to the Saudi border and high groundwater. Roofs may be weak or cracked from moisture damage, requiring thorough remediation and precise inspection before new pouring. Villa columns are often few and small, so adding a floor means recalculating total loads and lateral forces, especially for wind exposure in outer areas.

Wafra sits in Ahmadi governorate, a rural residential district near the Saudi border with a farming cooperative and scattered villas.

Groundwater level in Wafra is very close to surface, requiring moisture-barrier inspection on roofs and foundations before any addition.

Questions about Rooftop floor addition in Wafra

Call now
How do you address moisture and cracking in old roofs before adding a floor?

We inspect waterproofing layers and trace moisture sources, then repair cracks with epoxy injection and renew the seal layer if needed. New pouring begins only after the roof is completely dry.

Do villas in Wafra have few enough columns that a new floor can be safely supported?

Most villas have very few columns, so a new floor requires adding new columns or substantially reinforcing foundations. We calculate complete loads including lateral wind forces typical for the area.
