What is specific about Makkah for roof & drain maintenance
Team note on Makkah: 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 Makkah sits about 301 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).
Roof and drain problems in clinics most often start with blocked outlets. Clinics handle a steady flow of patients, deliveries and cleaning products, and rooftop drains and gutters collect dust, leaves and grit that build up quickly. When water cannot leave the roof, it finds its way through joints and parapets, and ceilings in treatment rooms or waiting areas begin to stain. Left alone, that staining turns into damp screed and patched membranes, which is why a regular check of outlets is the first thing a good maintenance plan should cover.
Makkah's setting changes how we approach this work. The centre of the city sits about 301 m above sea level, so the ground falls away around many clinic sites and rainwater runs toward them from higher streets. Our visit therefore looks at how water approaches the building as well as what happens on the roof itself, checking where runoff gathers and whether outlets can keep up when a short, heavy shower arrives. Because the work is planned around the site rather than applied as a template, the scope can be kept narrow: a maintenance visit typically costs SAR 160–420 per visit, while restoration of worn sections is priced separately at SAR 55–160 per m², so you only pay for the area that actually needs it.
Before booking, ask the provider to confirm the roof area and how many drain outlets and parapet sections are included, and whether the visit covers a clear-out only or also a condition check. Ask how they handle work during opening hours so patient areas stay clear and quiet. Request a written note of what was found and what is recommended, with restoration quoted per square metre so you can compare options. Finally, ask whether the price shown covers the visit alone or includes any materials, so there are no surprises once the team is on site.
For clinics, work is scheduled around patient hours and kept to the areas that need it.

Common questions about roof & drain maintenance in Makkah
What does finishing work typically include?
It covers plastering, painting, flooring, stone or marble walls, ceilings, gypsum, doors, windows, and final electrical and plumbing installations. You can request full or partial finishing, with the scope clearly defined in the price quote.
Is it possible to renovate the building without evacuating the residents?
In many cases it can be carried out in phases without a full evacuation if the damage is limited. However, for extensive structural renovation, a temporary evacuation may be recommended to ensure safety, and the contractor will explain this in their proposal.
Does waterproofing require removing existing tiles?
It depends on the site condition. Sometimes surface waterproofing can be applied over tiles, while deep leaks require tile removal to treat the layer underneath. A technician will determine the best option after inspection.
