Before we start: what we know about Yanbu

Main roads in or near Yanbu: King Abdulaziz Road, Umluj Road, Al Hanan Street. Team note on Yanbu: 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..

Yanbu is about 1.2 km from the sea coast (OpenStreetMap). The centre of Yanbu sits about 6 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).

Does a restaurant in Yanbu really need spray foam insulation, and what would a visit involve? The city centre sits about 6 m above sea level, and Yanbu is about 1.2 km from the sea coast. Those two facts matter for a commercial kitchen or dining room because coastal air and the building's position shape how heat, moisture and salt act on walls and roofs. Spray foam is priced at SAR 20–45 per m², which places it among the insulation and sealing options a property owner can compare alongside XPS boards at SAR 12–30 per m² and liquid roof waterproofing at SAR 8–25 per m². A sensible first step is to match the material to the surface rather than choosing one product for the whole building.

The inspection starts with a walk through the premises to identify where insulation or sealing is actually needed. The assessor will look at exterior walls, the roof, any basement or storage area, and wet zones such as kitchen and washing spaces. Cracks are checked and measured in metres, since crack injection is priced at SAR 40–120 per metre, and surfaces are noted for condition and exposure. Where a water tank is on site, its internal coating is considered at SAR 25–60 per m². The findings are then set out surface by surface, so the owner can see which areas call for spray foam and which call for a different treatment, with the cost range for each.

Before the visit, gather the documents and details that help the assessor work efficiently. Have the building's floor plan or a rough sketch ready, with the approximate area of roofs, walls and any basement, because the price ranges above are quoted per square metre. Note any known leaks, damp patches, cracked sections or past repairs, and mention when they first appeared. Clear access to the roof, the kitchen back-of-house, storage rooms and any tank is also useful, and it helps to have someone on site who can open doors and explain the building's history. With this prepared, the visit can focus on the work that matters for your restaurant.

For restaurants, visits are planned outside service hours and recorded for the premises file.
