Looking for a specialist for drying-out after a leak in Medina? Flat roofs, terraces and waterproofing are all we do, in Marrakech and across the Haouz. Free survey, written quote within 24 hours and a firm price before the first roller stroke. Not a general builder: a flat-roof specialist.
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.

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, as everywhere in Marrakech, waterproofing is the poor relation of recent construction: drying-out after a leak is the safest way to put the roof right before a small leak becomes a major damage.
Frequently asked questions: Drying-out after a leak in Medina
The barrier is active as soon as the treatment ends, but the wall’s drying takes about one month per 2.5 cm of thickness. We give you a realistic calendar and the finishes to wait for before repainting.
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.
