For basement and cellar tanking in Aït Ourir, you don’t need a company that does ‘a bit of everything’. We waterproof terraces every single week: free diagnosis, itemised written quote within 24 hours, and the price you read is the price you pay. Full stop.
Rainy season Nov–Mar: The Marrakech rainy season runs from November to March: that is when every tired terrace reveals itself. An ignored leak costs up to 10 times the price of waterproofing — damaged beams, lifted tadelakt, mould, repainting — and cuts the value of the property. The right time to waterproof is before the first heavy rain, not after it.
Basement and cellar tanking in Aït Ourir: the job
Paint hides, treatment cures: basement and cellar tanking in Aït Ourir attacks rising moisture at its source. Negative-pressure tanking mortar on walls and floor: the buried cellar stops drinking the ground’s water and becomes usable. The indicative spend is 250–450 DH/m²; the final figure is written before we start and never changes.
Trusted in Aït Ourir
“Our riad terrace was redone respecting the Medina’s constraints: materials carried in by hand, parapets rebuilt, zellige preserved. True specialist work.”
Salma K. · Aït Ourir“Serious people: protection everywhere, deadlines kept, and the terrace handed back cleaner than they found it.”
Mohammed A. · Aït Ourir“For basement and cellar tanking they recommended the simplest solution, not the most expensive one. You can tell they are technicians, not salesmen.”
Oliver P. · Aït OurirThe Aït Ourir context
Aït Ourir, about thirty kilometres from Marrakech on the Atlas road, is the satellite town of Al Haouz province: a mixed stock of traditional flat-roofed houses, small recent apartment blocks and villas on the outskirts. Flat roofs here inherit two worlds: the earthen terraces of older houses, vulnerable at the first heavy rain, and the concrete slabs of recent buildings, poorly waterproofed from the start. Winters are colder than in Marrakech and rainfall heavier near the mountains: a roof that holds in Gueliz is not necessarily enough here. We match the system to the actual substrate — earth, old or new concrete — not the other way round.
In Aït Ourir, as everywhere in Marrakech, waterproofing is the poor relation of recent construction: basement and cellar tanking is the safest way to put the roof right before a small leak becomes a major damage.

Frequently asked questions: Basement and cellar tanking in Aït Ourir
It is the most profitable visit of your purchase: for a few hundred dirhams you know what the walls hide, with a written report that gives you real negotiating leverage — or saves you from a very bad surprise.
From 100 to 300 DH per linear metre of treated wall depending on the technique: injection 100–220 DH/m on concrete or brick, pisé-specific protocol 150–300 DH/m. A riad typically needs 15,000–60,000 DH of treatment.
Rising damp starts at ground level and climbs evenly (up to 1 m and more), often with saltpetre; a leak makes localised stains linked to rain. Our moisture measurements settle it in one visit.
Yes, with an adapted protocol: earth is neither concrete nor brick. Gentle injections or drainage depending on the case, and above all breathable finishes — never waterproof cement that traps moisture and destroys the wall.
