Pricing starts from Liquid roof waterproofing (per m²) (SAR 10–25 per m²), and other items are quoted after the visit.
Before we start: what we know about Alahsa
Team note on Alahsa: Kashf teams serve this city and its nearby districts with the same documented inspection standard: device-based leak detection without demolition, a written report, and a clear scope before any work begins.. The centre of Alahsa sits about 152 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).
Picture the manager of a small office building in Alahsa who arrives one morning to find water dripping through a ceiling onto staff desks. The roof has been fine for years, but a heavy shower overnight has found a weak point. Staff want to know if the building is safe to use, whether work can continue, and who should be called first. For a company, every hour of disruption affects clients, stock and reputation, so the response needs to be quick and organised.
The local facts matter here. The centre of Alahsa sits about 152 m above sea level, so the land is not a deep basin where water collects in a single low point, but roof drainage still needs to move water clear of the building promptly. Liquid roof waterproofing typically falls in the range of SAR 10–25 per m², and bitumen membrane in SAR 15–35 per m², which gives a sense of the relative scale of options when a roof is being resealed. Where the leak comes through a wall, crack injection is priced at SAR 40–120 per metre, so an accurate measurement of the affected length helps the contractor plan. Where a basement or water tank is involved, basement waterproofing at SAR 50–150 per m² and tank internal coating at SAR 25–60 per m² are the figures to keep in mind when comparing quotes.
Take the following steps in order. First, move people and equipment away from the dripping area and switch off any electrical fittings nearby, keeping away from standing water. Second, place buckets or sheeting to protect stock and record the location of the leak with photographs and a rough measurement of affected roof or wall area. Third, clear any blocked outlets and gutters that are safe to reach, so water is directed away from the building. Fourth, request at least two written quotes that state the unit rate per m² or per metre, the area measured and the materials proposed. Fifth, schedule the permanent repair during a period that causes the least disruption, and keep the records for your building file and insurer.
For companies, an annual contract sets the scope, the visit schedule and the reports in writing.
Signs worth paying attention to
The following signs are worth checking before they grow:
- Water standing on the roof that does not drain
- Drips from the ceiling during rain
- A stain growing on the top-floor ceiling
The most common causes
- A blocked roof drain.
- A split in the waterproofing around a tank or AC base — we check this before anything else.
- A common cause: damaged waterproofing at the edges.

Questions from Alahsa
Is it possible to unclog drains without breaking the floors?
In most cases, yes: camera inspection and high-pressure water jetting clear the blockage from drain openings and inspection chambers without breaking anything, except when there is an actual break in the pipes.
Does renovation include treating dampness and insulation?
Usually yes, since dampness treatment is an essential part of renovation, especially in Al-Ahsa. The contractor identifies the source of the leak and then carries out the appropriate insulation. Mention the dampness problem in your request description.
What is the difference between foam insulation and roll insulation?
Foam is sprayed on as a continuous layer with no seams and provides both thermal and water insulation, while rolls are separate pieces that require joining and mainly focus on water insulation.
