Before we start: what we know about Jazan

Team note on Jazan: 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 Jazan sits about 7 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).

Jazan is about 1.9 km from the sea coast (OpenStreetMap).

Roof and drain maintenance in Jazan starts with the location itself. The centre of Jazan sits about 7 m above sea level, and the city is about 1.9 km from the sea coast, so rainwater and wind-driven salt air both reach rooftops here. Because of this, a technician checks first how water leaves the roof and whether outlets, gutters and downpipes can carry it away without pooling. Salt deposits, sand and debris are looked at early, since they can block drains and speed up wear on surface coatings near the coast.

Some points cannot be judged from a checklist and are left to the site visit. The technician will look at the actual condition of the membrane or tiles, any cracks around parapets and roof edges, the slope of the roof, and whether earlier repairs are holding. Access routes, the height of the building, and whether the roof is used for water tanks or equipment also affect what work is possible. A visit typically costs SAR 150–400, and where a surface needs restoring the work is priced at SAR 50–150 per m², depending on what the inspection finds. The final scope and price are confirmed on site, not from a remote estimate.

To help the technician arrive prepared, tell us the building type and roughly how old the roof covering is, and note any past leaks, ceiling stains or water left standing after rain. Clear access to the roof hatch or stairwell, and advance notice of any tenants or vehicles that need moving, will keep the visit efficient. If you have photographs of the drains or the roof surface taken after a rainfall, send them ahead, as they show where water is actually gathering.

The aim is to locate the cause with instruments first, so any opening is limited to one point.
