Blocked roof drains are the most common problem we see on residential buildings in Khafji. Rainwater, dust and grit collect in outlets and gutters, and when a storm arrives the water has nowhere to go. It can pool on flat roofs, seep through screeds and tracking into the walls below. A routine check of outlets, parapets and downpipes often catches the problem before it becomes a leak in a bedroom ceiling.
Khafji sits about 9 m above sea level, and it is about 2 km from the sea coast. That combination matters. The town is low-lying rather than hilly, so water that cannot drain quickly from a roof tends to stay put, and a small blockage can back up further than owners expect. The nearness to the coast also means salt-laden air and sand settle on roof surfaces, so the approach leans toward clearing debris from outlets and checking sealant and surface finish, not just running water through the pipes. Where a roof shows wear, the restoration work is usually priced per square metre, typically SAR 50–150 per m², so the size of the roof and its condition both shape the final cost.
Before booking a visit, ask the provider to confirm exactly what the maintenance visit covers, which typically falls in the SAR 150–400 range per visit, and whether any restoration would be quoted separately per m². Ask which outlets, gutters and parapets will be inspected and whether they will be cleared on the same visit. Ask how they will check the roof for pooling or cracks, and whether they will explain any findings before starting work. Finally, ask what the visit does not include, so there are no surprises on the bill.
For a whole building, a survey of the shared systems comes before unit-by-unit work.
