Before we start: what we know about Baish

The centre of Baish sits about 84 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data). Team note on Baish: 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 rain leaks in Baish are usually a matter of where water is entering and how quickly it can be stopped, so the first things we check are the facts of the place itself. The centre of Baish sits about 84 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), which means the town is not a low-lying hollow where water pools, but a site where rain runs off roofs and terraces and can find its way into weak points in a flat or lightly sloped roof. Before any work is quoted, the technician will look at how water is draining from the roof surface, whether outlets are blocked, and where ponding has left staining on the ceiling below. Liquid roof waterproofing is typically priced at SAR 8–25 per m², and bitumen membrane at SAR 15–35 per m², so the choice of system is shaped by the roof's size and condition as well as the leak's location.

Several things can only be settled at the site visit. The technician needs to see the actual roof surface, the upstands, parapets and drain outlets, and to trace the leak back from the ceiling stain to its source, which is often some distance from where the water appears inside. Crack injection, priced at SAR 40–120 per metre, is only suitable once a crack is found and its length is measured. Whether a roof needs a full re-coat, a patch or insulation with XPS boards (SAR 12–30 per m²) cannot be judged from a phone description. The visit will also confirm whether the leak is coming from the roof or from a wall, terrace edge or water tank above, since the repair differs in each case.

To help the technician arrive prepared, note when the leak first appeared and whether it follows rain, wind or a particular direction. Photographs of the ceiling stain, the roof surface and any visible cracks are useful, as are the roof's approximate size and access route. Tell the technician if there is a water tank on the roof and whether it has been coated, because tank internal coating (SAR 25–60 per m²) is a separate job. If you are buying or taking over the property, ask the previous owner about past repairs and any warranty paperwork. Clear information at this stage shortens the visit and makes the quote easier to compare.

Before buying or taking over a property, an inspection gives you findings in writing before you sign.
