The centre of Makkah sits about 301 m above sea level, which places the city in a basin surrounded by hills and rocky ground rather than on flat coastal land. For warehouse owners, this matters because rainwater does not spread out evenly across open land. Instead, it gathers quickly and runs toward low points, so roofs and drainage channels can take a heavy load in a short time. Our roof and drain maintenance work for warehouses in this area starts with checking where water is likely to pool and how fast it can leave the building.
Because the land is elevated but enclosed by terrain, runoff from nearby slopes can reach a warehouse site with force and carry dust, grit and debris onto the roof and into gutters. Our technicians therefore focus on clearing outlets, checking downpipes for blockages, and inspecting flashing and seams where debris tends to collect. A maintenance visit typically costs SAR 160–420 per visit, depending on the size of the roof and the number of drains. Regular visits keep gutters flowing and reduce the chance that a single storm overwhelms an outlet that has been partly blocked for months.
Where roof surfaces have worn, ponded, or lost their protective layer, repair is the next step. Restoration is priced at SAR 55–160 per m², with the final figure set by the condition of the membrane, the extent of cracking and the access needed to reach the affected area. Owners often avoid several common mistakes that increase cost and risk: waiting for visible leaks before arranging a check, clearing only the surface of a drain while leaving the outlet blocked, ignoring standing water after rain, and letting debris build up in corners where it traps moisture. Addressing these early keeps the roof sound and the drainage working through every rainy season.
For warehouses, work is phased around operations and stored goods.

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.
