Why bitumen membrane differs in Rastanura

Bitumen membrane work on apartments in Rastanura most often starts with the roof and the stairwell or balcony slabs, where water finds its way in through worn joints and aged surfaces. The Bitumen membrane rate sits at SAR 15–35 per m², which makes it a practical choice for flat roofs shared by several flats, where a large surface has to be covered without a high cost per square metre. Residents should expect the first visit to focus on finding where the old layer has failed rather than simply laying new material over it.
The site sits about 0.2 km from the sea coast, which is close enough that the air carries salt and moisture to the building. That matters for bitumen membrane because salt-laden damp can attack the bond between the membrane and the concrete over time. Our approach therefore takes account of the coast: we check the substrate for moisture before any membrane goes down, and we look at how the surface drains so that salt and standing water do not sit against the new layer. Where the roof is exposed, the team considers how the membrane will be protected from sun and sand, rather than treating every roof the same way.
Before the visit, it helps to have a few things ready. Tell us which parts of the building leak, whether the problem appears after rain or after damp weather, and how old the current roof covering is. Let us know whether the leak is in one flat or the whole block, and whether there are any cracks you have noticed in the slab or parapet. If the work also touches a basement, a bathroom or a water tank, mention it so the right method and rate can be discussed. This information lets the visit focus on the real source of water rather than on guesswork.
In an apartment, a problem may start in your unit or in a shared line; we separate the two before any work.
