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).
The centre of Aljumum sits about 200 m above sea level, which matters for a roof leak in a restaurant because rain on higher ground can run off quickly while water pools in low spots, flat sections and around rooftop fixtures. Before anything else, the technician will check where water is actually entering: the ceiling below, the kitchen extraction area, any rooftop plant or drainage outlets, and the parapet edges. Pinpointing the entry point first prevents unnecessary work across the whole roof and keeps the repair focused and affordable.
Several things cannot be judged from a description or photo and are left to the site visit. These include the condition of the existing membrane, whether the leak is a crack, a failed joint or a blocked drain, and how far moisture has spread into the insulation or the structure below. The technician will also decide which method suits the roof, since options such as liquid roof waterproofing, a bitumen membrane or spray foam are priced differently and perform differently depending on the surface. Crack injection, where a split is the cause, is charged per metre, so the length found on site will shape the final scope.
To help the technician arrive prepared, note when the leak appears, whether it follows heavy rain or occurs in any weather, and which part of the dining area or kitchen is affected. Tell them about any recent roof work, rooftop equipment that has been moved, and whether the restaurant can close the affected area during repairs. Photographs of the ceiling stains and of the roof surface, taken after rain if possible, are very useful. Clear access to the roof and to the room below will let the visit cover the real problem in one trip rather than leaving it for a second appointment.
For restaurants, visits are planned outside service hours and recorded for the premises file.
