What is specific about Hail for roof & drain maintenance
The centre of Hail sits about 1002 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).

Roof and drain maintenance for apartments in Hail starts with the rain outlets and the membrane around them, because the city sits at high altitude, with the centre of Hail about 1002 m above sea level. Our technicians look first at whether roof drains, parapet gutters and downpipes are clear and sloped correctly, since water that collects in a single low point tends to find its way into the top floor. Next they check the edges, joints and any upstands where the waterproofing meets walls, as these are the spots where leaks usually begin. Each visit is priced at SAR 145–380 per visit, depending on the size of the building and how much access work is needed, so residents can plan ahead without surprises.
Several things can only be judged once the technician is on the roof. The exact condition of the membrane, whether cracks, blisters or bare patches need patching or full restoration, and how far the damage reaches can only be confirmed by walking the surface. Restoration is quoted separately at SAR 50–145 per m², because the final figure depends on the area affected, the existing layers and the materials that suit the surface. The technician will also decide whether a small repair is enough or whether a wider section should be treated, and will explain the options before any work begins. Nothing is fixed on the basis of a phone description alone.
To help the technician arrive prepared, please note where you have seen water stains on ceilings or walls, when the leak appears (during rain, after the sun heats the roof, or both), and whether any drain has been blocked or overflowing recently. Tell us if you know when the roof was last treated, and mention any previous repairs. Clear access to the roof, the stairwell key or building manager's contact, and a note of any tenant who needs advance notice all save time on the day. The more detail you provide, the more accurate the visit will be.
In an apartment, a problem may start in your unit or in a shared line; we separate the two before any work.

Is foam insulation suitable for Hail's dry climate and cold winters?
Yes, foam reduces heat entering in summer and limits heating loss in winter, but a suitable protective layer must be applied over it to resist strong sunlight.
