Before we start: what we know about Tabuk
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.. The centre of Tabuk sits about 762 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).
The centre of Tabuk sits about 762 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), which places the city on a high plateau rather than on the coast. For clinic owners this matters because the site is shaped by a dry, open climate with large temperature swings between day and night. Those swings make surfaces expand and contract, so hairline cracks can appear in slabs and balcony edges even when the building is only a few years old.
Because of this, our floor and balcony work starts with a close look at the substrate and the movement it is likely to see. Crack injection is priced at SAR 40–115 per metre, and we treat it as a first step whenever cracks are present, so that the coating above has a sound base to bond to. Epoxy coating at SAR 35–85 per m² suits clinic floors that need a hard, cleanable finish, while spray foam at SAR 20–45 per m² and liquid roof waterproofing at SAR 10–25 per m² are often chosen for exposed balconies and roofs where a flexible skin is more useful. Bitumen membrane at SAR 15–35 per m² and XPS boards at SAR 10–30 per m² are options we discuss where insulation or a separate drainage layer is needed. Each method is matched to the exact area, not to a single package.
Clinic owners in Tabuk commonly make a few avoidable errors. They often wait until a leak reaches a treatment room before calling anyone, when a small crack would have been cheaper to inject. Some choose the lowest per-metre rate without checking whether the product suits foot traffic, cleaning chemicals or sun exposure on a balcony. Others skip the joints and corners where water collects, or assume that a bathroom coating at SAR 15–40 per m² can simply be extended to a wider floor area. We walk each clinic through these points before work begins, so the chosen system fits the way the space is actually used.
For clinics, work is scheduled around patient hours and kept to the areas that need it.

Tools we use in Tabuk
| Tool or method | What it measures | Why it is chosen here |
|---|---|---|
| Flood test | Whether the waterproofing holds before it is covered | Limits: for roofs with drains and wet areas before tiling |
