Team note on Aldawadmi: 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..

Roof leaks in Aldawadmi most often start where the waterproofing membrane has aged, cracked, or lifted at the edges, parapets, and around roof drains and penetrations. Because the membrane is exposed to strong sun and temperature swings, small splits can widen quickly, and water then tracks along the slab into ceilings and walls. For a typical flat concrete roof, the first question is usually whether the leak is a surface membrane failure or a crack running through the slab itself.

The local setting shapes how we approach the repair. The centre of Aldawadmi sits about 976 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), so the area is a highland location rather than a low coastal plain. This matters because the sun-heated surface of a roof can change quickly in the day, and that movement stresses sealing joints. A repair here should focus on flexible, well-bonded materials at the edges and drains. Published rates for liquid roof waterproofing run SAR 8–25 per m², while bitumen membrane runs SAR 15–35 per m², and crack injection is priced at SAR 40–120 per metre. Choosing between these depends on the extent of the damage, not on the cheapest rate, so the roof should be inspected before any product is recommended.

Before the visit, ask the provider to confirm the roof area in square metres, whether the work is a patch repair or a full recoating, and which materials they plan to use. Ask whether the price includes surface preparation, removal of loose membrane, and cleaning of drains, since these steps often decide how long a repair lasts. Also ask whether the quote lists the rate per m² or a fixed sum, and whether any crack injection is charged per metre. Keep the written quote, and check that it matches the rates you were shown before work starts.
