Before we start: what we know about Yanbu

Main roads in or near Yanbu: King Abdulaziz Road, Umluj Road, Al Hanan Street. Team note on Yanbu: 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..

Yanbu is about 1.2 km from the sea coast (OpenStreetMap). The centre of Yanbu sits about 6 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).

Why do roofs and drains in Yanbu need attention even though the city is not high above the water? The centre of Yanbu sits about 6 m above sea level, according to SRTM open elevation data, and the town lies roughly 1.2 km from the sea coast, based on OpenStreetMap. That combination means rooftops and drainage channels here are close to the coast and low in the landscape, so rainwater and wind-driven salt air can reach them easily. Keeping outdoor surfaces and drain outlets clear is therefore a practical habit for homes and small buildings across the city.

A roof and drain inspection usually starts with a walk around the roof surface to look for cracks, lifted edges, ponding areas and sealant that has dried or split. The technician then checks parapets, roof outlets and downpipes to confirm water is moving freely toward the drainage system, and notes any staining on walls that may point to water running where it should not. Surfaces are assessed for salt residue and general wear, and any sections that need repair are measured so the owner can see the extent of the work. If restoration is needed, the cost is commonly quoted per square metre, in a range of SAR 50–150 per m², depending on the condition of the surface and the work required. A standard maintenance visit is typically priced at SAR 150–400 per visit, so an owner can compare the inspection cost with any follow-up repairs.

Before the visit, it helps to clear loose debris such as sand, leaves and bird waste from the roof and to lift any covers from roof outlets so the drain openings are easy to reach. Note any past leaks, damp patches on ceilings or walls, and areas where water has pooled after rain, because these details guide where the inspection should focus. Make sure someone can grant access to the roof and to any shared areas that connect to the drainage, and keep a record of previous repairs or sealant work. With this information ready, the visit can move straight to the checks that matter most for your property in Yanbu.
