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.
Drying-out after a leak in Sidi Abdallah Ghiat: the job
Paint hides, treatment cures: drying-out after a leak in Sidi Abdallah Ghiat attacks rising moisture at its source. After water damage: forced ventilation, hygrometric monitoring, a written opinion on when to repaint safely. The indicative spend is from 1,500 DH; the final figure is written before we start and never changes.
The Sidi Abdallah Ghiat context
Sidi Abdallah Ghiat is the booming municipality south-east of Marrakech: close to 47% population growth in ten years, entire housing estates out of the ground, from affordable villas to upmarket residences. What the area’s roofs have in common: fast execution during the boom, with bituminous membranes laid over dusty substrates and sloppy upturns. The result is plenty of under-ten-year-old terraces already leaking. We charge the same prices there as in central Marrakech, with no travel surcharge, and we handle both targeted repairs and full refurbishment of large recent villa terraces.
In Sidi Abdallah Ghiat, jobs like drying-out after a leak 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: Drying-out after a leak in Sidi Abdallah Ghiat
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.
