Before we start: what we know about Aljumum

Team note on Aljumum: 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 Aljumum sits about 200 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).

Before any spray foam goes into a clinic in Aljumum, the first thing checked is the ground the building sits on. The centre of Aljumum sits about 200 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), so the technician starts by looking at how the site falls and where water is likely to run and gather. Rain and surface runoff shape where moisture reaches the walls and roof, and that affects how the insulation layer should be planned. The second check is the building envelope itself: exterior walls, the roof line, and any service penetrations where air can leak. Clinics have many of these, including plumbing, ducts, and medical gas routes, so each one is marked before any foam is measured.

Some decisions are left to the site visit, because they depend on what the technician finds on the day. The surface condition of the walls and roof, the presence of existing cracks, and the moisture level behind finishes cannot be judged from a desk. If cracks are found, crack injection is priced per metre, from SAR 40–120 per m, and it may need to be done before insulation so the spray foam bonds to sound material. Roof work may be better served by liquid roof waterproofing, priced from SAR 8–25 per m², or a bitumen membrane, from SAR 15–35 per m², depending on the roof's age and use. Where the clinic has a basement or tanks, the pricing differs widely: basement waterproofing runs from SAR 50–150 per m², and tank internal coating from SAR 25–60 per m². The final choice is made on site, not from a brochure.

To help the technician, the client should prepare a few things in advance. Floor plans with room use marked, especially where sterile areas, treatment rooms, and waiting areas sit, let the crew plan work around patient hours and avoid spraying where air quality must be controlled. A list of any past leaks, damp patches, or repairs gives useful context. Access arrangements matter too, since foam work produces fumes and dust, so the crew needs to know which rooms can be closed and when. Bathrooms in clinics are priced separately, from SAR 15–40 per m² for waterproofing, and epoxy coating for floors, from SAR 35–90 per m², is quoted only once the wet areas are assessed. Clear information at the start keeps the visit short and the quote accurate.

For clinics, work is scheduled around patient hours and kept to the areas that need it.

Signs worth paying attention to

These are the signs most often linked to spray foam insulation:

• Thermal and water insulation needed together
• Leaks from the panel joints
• A hot metal-sheet roof or hangar

The most common causes

• Joints in metal sheets and sandwich panels.
• A common cause: no UV protection on the surface.
