Before we start: what we know about Tabuk

The centre of Tabuk sits about 762 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data). Team note on Tabuk: 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..

Imagine the owner of a duplex in Tabuk who has rented out a ground-floor warehouse space beside the family's living quarters. Over a few summers the upper flat has become uncomfortably hot, the storage area smells damp after the cooler months, and a tenant has complained about a hairline crack running across the back wall. The owner wants the building to stay usable for both the household and the business without a costly rebuild, and is trying to decide where insulation and protection should go first.

The centre of Tabuk sits about 762 m above sea level, which matters more than it might seem. Sitting at this height, the city experiences a distinct climate from the coastal areas, with hot daytime heat that gives way to noticeably cooler nights. For a duplex with mixed commercial use, that daily swing means materials expand and contract, and roofs and walls take the brunt of sun exposure. Warehouse-style spaces often have large, exposed surfaces, so the roof and the ground-contact walls usually deserve the most attention. Heat that enters through the roof tends to build up in the upper flat, while moisture that gathers below ground can work its way into storage areas and show up as staining or cracking.

A sensible order of work begins with a survey of the roof and the lower walls, noting any cracks, pooling water or old membranes that have lost their grip. Next, seal active cracks by injection, which is priced per metre, before anything else is layered over them. Then address the roof, where liquid waterproofing per square metre is often the most economical starting point, and consider spray foam or XPS boards where the goal is to reduce heat transfer through the ceiling. Where the lower floor sits against the ground, a basement-style waterproofing layer and an epoxy floor coating can keep the storage area dry and easier to clean. Finally, check bathrooms and any water tanks on the property, since they are separate waterproofing jobs with their own costs. Work through these steps in order, and each stage will make the next one more effective.

In a duplex, the two floors often share lines, so tests are done floor by floor.
