Tools we use in Dammam
| Method | What it helps with | Its role in Dammam |
|---|---|---|
| Dye test | Water being drawn in at openings and cracks | Limits: only for visible, nearby points |
| Moisture meter | How far the wet area spreads behind paint and tiles | Limits: measures the effect, not the source |
| Thermal camera | The warm or cold trace of water on a surface | Limits: needs a clear temperature difference |
How the work is done, step by step
- Ruling out the water network: We confirm the moisture is not from a supply pipe.

How long does waterproofing take?
It depends on the area, the material type, and the surface condition. Residential roofs are usually completed within a few days, including preparation and testing.
Are the disinfectants used for sterilization safe for drinking water?
Yes, disinfectants specifically designed for drinking water tanks are used at specified concentrations, and the tank is rinsed thoroughly afterward to remove any residue. We recommend asking about the type of materials before starting.
