What is specific about Tabarjal for roof waterproofing

Team note on Tabarjal: 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 Tabarjal sits about 548 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).

My roof is leaking after rain. Is this something I can wait on, or should I call someone straight away? Tabarjal sits about 548 m above sea level, and that matters less than you might think: what matters is that water is already getting into your home, and that is a reason to act quickly rather than let it sit. Roof leaks rarely fix themselves, and water left to travel through a ceiling or wall can cause damage well beyond the original spot. An emergency visit is the right call when water is actively coming in, especially if it reaches electrical fittings or lights.

When we attend, the inspection starts with finding the source, which is often not directly above the drip. We check the roof surface for cracks and failed sealant, look at the edges and joints where water tends to enter, and assess whether the problem is best treated with a liquid roof waterproofing system, a bitumen membrane, or an insulation layer using XPS boards. Where cracks are the cause, crack injection is priced per metre, so the length found will shape the work. We also look at any areas where a tank or bathroom sits close to the roof line, because seepage from those can be mistaken for a roof leak. Before we recommend anything, we explain the options and the rough cost range for each, so you can decide with the full picture in front of you.

To help the visit go smoothly, clear access to the roof and the affected room, and move valuables and furniture away from the wet area. Take photos or a short video of the leak during rain if you can, and note when it started and how heavy the water flow is. If there is any ceiling staining, bubbling, or dripping onto electrical points, switch off power to that area at the board and keep people away from it. Having these details ready lets the inspection focus on the cause rather than the symptoms, and it gives you a clearer basis for choosing the repair that fits your roof.

If water is flowing, close the main valve first, then call or message with photos.

2. Preparation: Cleaning and repairs before any new layer.
3. Primer: The base coat that the system needs.
