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.
Damp treatment before repainting in Medina: the job
Damp treatment before repainting in Medina starts by measuring the wall’s actual moisture, not by repainting the stain. Painting over a damp wall means paying twice: we treat the moisture first, then apply finishes that let the substrate breathe. The indicative cost is 80–160 DH/m²; after the free survey, the price is fixed in writing and locked.
The Medina context
The Marrakech Medina is our home ground: hundreds of riads with centuries-old flat roofs built from earth, cedarwood and lime, where traditional waterproofing — rammed earth layers and tadelakt — is reaching the end of its life. Every job here must respect ADER rules and the UNESCO listing: no hauling tonnes of rubble through narrow derbs, no altering the roofline of the terraces. We use light materials compatible with pisé: flexible resins, flame-free self-adhesive membranes, parapet upturns rebuilt to standard. Leaks in the Medina are unforgiving: they rot the wooden beams, swell the earthen walls and lift the tadelakt off bedroom walls.
In Medina, jobs like damp treatment before repainting are among the most requested: with summers above 45 °C and rain concentrated in winter, a well-laid membrane and correct falls make the difference between a terrace that lasts and one that has to be redone.

Frequently asked questions: Damp treatment before repainting in Medina
Not if the cause is treated: salt neutralisation, barrier against rising damp, breathable finish. Treating saltpetre without treating the rising damp, on the other hand, guarantees its return at the first wet season.
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.
