Baqiq is a neighbourhood where the centre sits about 83 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), and that elevation is one reason roof leaks are often checked first at the highest points of the building, where water collects and runs off. Start with the roof surface and any visible ponding after rain, then look for stains on ceilings beneath the roof, because water can travel along a slab before it appears as a drip. Note whether the leak is at a parapet, a drain outlet, or a joint where the roof meets a wall, since these are the points most often affected. Record when the leak started and whether it follows heavy rain or appears in a steady trickle.
Some things can only be decided at the site visit. The technician will judge whether the existing finish is sound enough to take a new coating, how far the damp has spread into the structure, and whether a crack needs injection or the surface needs a full system. The choice between liquid roof waterproofing, which is priced from SAR 8 to SAR 25 per m², and a bitumen membrane, priced from SAR 15 to SAR 35 per m², depends on the roof's condition and access. Crack injection, at SAR 40 to SAR 120 per metre, is quoted only once the crack length and depth are measured. Any final figure is set after inspection, not from the published ranges alone.
To help the technician, prepare a few details before the visit. Clear access to the roof and the ceiling below, the roof area in square metres, and any previous repair records will speed up the assessment. Photos taken during rain, with a note of the time, are useful evidence. If the building also has tanks or a basement, mention them, because tank internal coating (SAR 25 to SAR 60 per m²) and basement waterproofing (SAR 50 to SAR 150 per m²) are separate works. Insulation boards such as XPS, priced at SAR 12 to SAR 30 per m², may be discussed if the roof needs thermal protection as well as sealing.
