Before we start: what we know about Sharurah

Main roads in or near Sharurah: King Abdulaziz Road, King Fahd Road. The centre of Sharurah sits about 724 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).

Team note on Sharurah: 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..

Sharurah sits at roughly 724 m above sea level, according to SRTM open elevation data, which matters for a roof leak because the town's elevation shapes how water and weather reach a building. A technician arriving at a leaking roof in Sharurah begins by checking where the water is actually entering, not only where it appears inside the home. The first questions are whether the leak follows a roof surface, a parapet edge, a drain outlet or a crack, and whether it is active during the storm or showing up afterwards as staining. Liquid roof waterproofing, which the published offers list at SAR 8–25 per m², is one of the lower-cost systems on the page, but it is only suitable once the source of water has been identified.

The detailed diagnosis is left to the site visit. The technician will walk the roof, look at the drainage path, test the surfaces that appear damaged and decide whether a bitumen membrane (SAR 15–35 per m²), spray foam (SAR 20–45 per m²) or XPS boards (SAR 12–30 per m²) fits the condition found. Crack injection, priced at SAR 40–120 per metre, may be needed if a fault line is the cause. Final pricing depends on the measured area and the method chosen on the day, so the figures above should be read as the published range for each service rather than a quote for any particular job.

To help the technician arrive prepared, note when the leak started, whether it coincides with rain from a particular direction, and where the stain first appeared on the ceiling or wall. Clear access to the roof hatch or stairs and the location of any water tanks also speeds the visit. If the leak has reached a bathroom or basement, mention that too, because bathroom waterproofing (SAR 15–40 per m²) and basement waterproofing (SAR 50–150 per m²) are separate scopes. Photographs of the stain and a short description of recent weather are useful. Keep the area below the leak clear and move valuables, since the technician will want to see the wet area as it was when the problem occurred.

Prices shown on this page come from our own published price list for the city; the final price is set after inspection.
