Before we start: what we know about Qatif

Team note on Qatif: 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 Qatif sits about 5 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).

Qatif is about 2.5 km from the sea coast (OpenStreetMap).

Does a clinic in Qatif really need insulation specialists, or can a general contractor handle it? The short answer is that Qatif's location makes the difference. The centre of Qatif sits about 5 m above sea level, and the town is about 2.5 km from the sea coast. That combination means damp air and salt exposure are real concerns for a building that must stay dry, clean and at a steady temperature for patients and stored supplies. For a clinic or warehouse, insulation and moisture control are part of protecting the fabric of the building, not an optional extra.

The inspection starts with a look at where heat and moisture actually enter. Our technicians check the roof, walls, floors and any below-ground areas, then match the material to each surface. Liquid roof waterproofing is priced from SAR 8–25 per m², and a bitumen membrane from SAR 15–35 per m², so roof options can be compared directly. XPS boards, at SAR 12–30 per m², are often considered for thermal layers on walls and floors. Where cracks appear, crack injection is priced at SAR 40–120 per metre, and spray foam at SAR 20–45 per m² may suit awkward spaces. Basement waterproofing at SAR 50–150 per m² and epoxy coating at SAR 35–90 per m² are assessed only where the survey shows a need. Each finding is recorded so you see the reasons behind every recommendation.

Before the visit, gather the building plans or sketches with room sizes and roof areas, so measurements can be checked quickly. Note any areas that feel damp, smell musty, show staining or have cracks, and photograph them if you can. Tell us which rooms are used for clinical work or storage, and whether any tanks need internal coating, which is priced at SAR 25–60 per m². Clear access to the roof, basement and plant areas will also save time on the day. With this information ready, the inspection can focus on what your premises actually need.

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