Before we start: what we know about Alqurayyat
Team note on Alqurayyat: 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 Alqurayyat sits about 497 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).
Picture a restaurant owner in Alqurayyat who has just opened a kitchen on a flat roof. After the first few rains, a damp patch appears above the dining room, and the kitchen staff notice water tracking along the parapet wall. The owner wants the leak fixed quickly so service is not disrupted, without paying for work that the roof does not need. For a commercial property like this, the roof is usually the first place to look, because it takes the full force of sun, heat and standing water, and the cost of delay grows with every week the leak continues.
The Alqurayyat setting matters here. The town centre sits about 497 m above sea level, so the site is a higher-elevation location where sun exposure and temperature swings can be strong during the day. Those conditions put steady stress on a roof surface and its joints. For a restaurant, that means the waterproofing system should be chosen for the roof itself, not copied from a basement or a bathroom. Bitumen membrane is commonly used on flat roofs of this kind, and the indicative cost in the price guide is SAR 15–35 per m². Liquid roof waterproofing, at SAR 8–25 per m², is another option to compare, while XPS boards, at SAR 12–30 per m², can add insulation under a finished surface. Where cracks are visible, crack injection at SAR 40–120 per metre may be needed before any coating goes on.
A sensible order of work starts with a proper inspection of the roof, the parapets, drains and any cracks, so the owner knows which areas are actually failing. Next, measure the roof area in square metres and list each linear metre of cracking, so the quote can be checked against the price ranges. Then repair the cracks, clean the surface and allow it to dry before the membrane or coating is applied. Finally, ask the contractor to explain the chosen system and to test a small area for drainage before the kitchen returns to full use. Keeping these steps in order helps the owner control cost and keep the restaurant running.
For restaurants, visits are planned outside service hours and recorded for the premises file.
Signs worth paying attention to

- Seams that were not welded properly.
- No protection layer.
Tools and methods, and when we use them
| Tool or method | What it measures | Why it is chosen here |
|---|---|---|
| Flood test | Whether the waterproofing holds before it is covered | Limits: for roofs with drains and wet areas before tiling |
| Roof, falls and drains survey | Ponding areas and the condition of the old layer | Limits: shows the condition, not the material alone |
How the work is done, step by step
- Preparation: Cleaning, priming and repairs.
- Torch welding: Overlaps are welded and checked.
- Details: Upstands, drains and bases.
- Protection and flood test: Protection is laid after a successful flood test.
