What is specific about Madinah for roof & drain maintenance
The centre of Madinah sits about 589 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).

The centre of Madinah sits about 589 m above sea level, a height that gives the city a dry, open climate where roofs are exposed to strong sun and wide daily temperature swings. For restaurant owners, this means roof membranes, flashings and rooftop kitchen extract fittings age faster than they would at lower or more humid sites. Our technicians plan each visit around these conditions, checking seams for cracking, sun-damaged sealant and lifted edges before they turn into leaks. A regular inspection is far cheaper than repairing water damage in a dining room or kitchen during a busy evening service.
A maintenance visit in Madinah typically costs SAR 150–400 per visit, depending on roof size, access and the number of drains that need clearing. That range lets owners budget for routine checks on a fixed schedule rather than waiting for an emergency call. During each visit, the team clears roof outlets, removes grease and debris from drain channels and confirms that water runs away from the building. Keeping outlets clear matters in a restaurant, where cooking oil and food waste can build up and block flow faster than in an ordinary building.
When a roof has already deteriorated, restoration is priced at SAR 50–150 per m², which depends on the condition of the surface and the materials needed. Owners who ignore small defects often end up paying for much larger areas to be restored, so acting early keeps costs proportionate. Common mistakes include leaving drains uncleaned until water pools, using household sealant on roof seams, letting rooftop equipment stand on unprotected surfaces, and waiting for a leak to appear inside before calling for help. Avoiding these habits keeps the roof sound and the restaurant running smoothly.
For restaurants, visits are planned outside service hours and recorded for the premises file.

Common questions about roof & drain maintenance in Madinah
What is the difference between standard spraying and integrated pest management?
Standard spraying treats visible symptoms only, while integrated pest management includes diagnosis, sealing entry points, and multiple methods for longer-lasting results.
Could the leak be caused by weak waterproofing rather than the pipes?
Yes, damage to the waterproofing layer beneath the bathroom floor is one of the most common causes of leaks, especially in older buildings. In this case, water seeps through the tile joints into the screed and then down to the ceiling below. A specialized inspection can distinguish this from a pipe leak.
What is the difference between drain unblocking and drain cleaning?
Unblocking removes an existing blockage that prevents drainage, while cleaning is a preventive procedure that removes deposits and grease from pipes before they cause a blockage.
What is the first step of roof & drain maintenance for restaurants?
We start with inspection (drains, edges and bases), then cleaning (drains are cleared).
