Team note on Alqunfudhah: 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..

Does a clinic on the coast in Alqunfudhah really need a separate look at its floors and balconies, or can a standard roof check cover it? The short answer is that the site's position makes moisture a real concern. The centre of Alqunfudhah sits about 7 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), and the town is about 0.4 km from the sea coast (OpenStreetMap). That closeness to the water means damp air and salt can reach floor slabs and balcony edges, so a clinic owner should treat these surfaces as a priority rather than an afterthought.

Our inspection for floor and balcony waterproofing in Alqunfudhah clinics follows a clear sequence. First, the surveyor walks every treated and untreated area and marks cracks, blistered finishes and signs of staining on ceilings below. Crack injection is priced at SAR 40–120 per metre, so measuring the length of each crack early helps the owner understand the likely scope. Next, the surveyor measures the area of each floor and balcony in square metres, because spray foam (SAR 20–45 per m²), epoxy coating (SAR 35–90 per m²) and bitumen membrane (SAR 15–35 per m²) are all quoted per square metre. Where a balcony sits above an occupied room, the surveyor notes this, since the work method changes what is practical in a working clinic. Finally, the surveyor records drainage outlets and slopes, because standing water is often the root cause of repeat leaks.

Before the visit, the property owner should gather a few simple items. Prepare the floor plan or a sketch showing each clinic floor and every balcony, with dimensions if they exist. Note the rooms that are used for treatment and those that hold equipment, so the surveyor can plan work around opening hours. Collect any previous repair records, invoices or warranty papers for earlier waterproofing work. Clear access to balconies and roof hatches, and mark any areas where patients or staff have reported damp patches or a musty smell. With these details ready, the site visit becomes faster and the quotation can reflect the actual condition of the clinic.

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