Before we start: what we know about Qatif

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).

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..

Qatif sits only about 5 m above sea level, and its centre is roughly 2.5 km from the coast, so the first thing checked on a commercial or warehouse insulation job here is moisture and salt exposure rather than simple heat loss. Technicians look at the building envelope facing the sea-side winds, check roof and wall surfaces for signs of damp or salt bloom, and confirm whether the existing layer is trapping water. Because the ground is low and the air is humid, the choice between spray foam, XPS boards, liquid roof waterproofing and bitumen membrane depends on how much water the structure must shed as well as how much heat it must hold back.

Several points are left to the site visit, because they cannot be judged from a distance. The condition of the roof deck, the presence of cracks or movement in walls, the slope and drainage of the roof, and any ponding after rain all need to be seen in person. The technician will also measure the true area, since rates are quoted per square metre, and will note any linear cracks that need injection, which is priced per metre. Access, height, and whether the work must be done around live operations in a warehouse are also judged on the spot. Any tank or basement involvement is confirmed only after the surfaces are inspected.

To help the technician prepare, it is useful to have the building plans or a rough sketch with dimensions, the age of the roof and any previous waterproofing records, and a note of where leaks or damp patches have appeared. Information on how the space is used, such as whether it stores food, chemicals or sensitive stock, helps decide which materials suit the job. Please also say whether the building has a basement or water tanks, as these are treated with separate systems. With this information ready, the site visit can move quickly, and the proposed work can be matched to the conditions that actually exist in Qatif.
