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.
Saltpetre treatment in Gueliz: the job
Paint hides, treatment cures: saltpetre treatment in Gueliz attacks rising moisture at its source. Brushing, salt neutralisation, breathable finish: only effective after treating the rising damp — we do both. The indicative spend is 90–180 DH/m²; the final figure is written before we start and never changes.

Trusted in Gueliz
“Our riad terrace was redone respecting the Medina’s constraints: materials carried in by hand, parapets rebuilt, zellige preserved. True specialist work.”
Karim E. · Gueliz“Serious people: protection everywhere, deadlines kept, and the terrace handed back cleaner than they found it.”
Oliver P. · Gueliz“For saltpetre treatment they recommended the simplest solution, not the most expensive one. You can tell they are technicians, not salesmen.”
Robert N. · GuelizThe Gueliz context
Gueliz, the new town laid out in the Protectorate era, is dense with 1930s–70s apartment buildings: ageing concrete slabs, technical roof terraces shared between co-owners, cracked parapets and original bituminous waterproofing that has often never been replaced. This is the district of co-ownership files: who pays, when to intervene, how to coordinate the top-floor flats. We manage the whole job there, from the shared diagnosis to the report for the building manager, with flame-free systems suited to occupied buildings. Gueliz summers regularly top 45 °C: black membranes baked by the sun crack open, and the first November rain exposes every defect.
For saltpetre treatment in Gueliz we bring the same care as on our central Marrakech sites: certified materials, proper application and a clean handover, every time.
Frequently asked questions: Saltpetre treatment in Gueliz
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.
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.
