Roof and drain maintenance for villas in Al Mrba, Riyadh starts with the location itself. The centre of Al Mrba sits at 24.6599, 46.7098, about 6.9 km from the centre of Riyadh, with an approximate radius of 1.2 km. The neighbourhood also lies at roughly 595 m above sea level, according to SRTM open elevation data. Because the area sits at this height and its villas are spread across a compact radius, the technician first checks how rainwater and wind-blown dust move off the roof and into the drainage outlets. Parapet edges, roof outlets, and the points where downpipes meet the ground are examined first, since blocked outlets are the most common reason water pools after a shower and then seeps into the slab.
Some things cannot be judged from a list and are left to the site visit. The technician walks the roof to look for cracked screeds, lifted membrane edges, sand build-up in gutters, and staining on ceilings below. The condition of the waterproofing, the slope of each roof section, and whether previous repairs have held are all assessed on site. A visit is charged at SAR 160–420 per visit, and the final scope depends on what the inspection finds. If restoration is needed, it is priced separately at SAR 55–160 per m², so the technician measures the affected areas accurately before quoting.
To help the technician arrive prepared, it is useful to note when leaks appear, whether they follow heavy rain or only occur during windy weather, and which rooms are affected. Access details matter too: confirm where the roof hatch is, whether a ladder is kept on the property, and whether any rooftop equipment such as water tanks or air-conditioning units needs to be moved or left undisturbed. Clear information about past work, including any sealant or coating applied in previous years, lets the technician plan the visit efficiently and reduces the chance of an unexpected problem halfway through the job.
Villas often have several lines and tanks; we test them one at a time so the cause is clear.
