Bitumen roof waterproofing in Ibn Dihman: Black bitumen membrane strips with overlapping seams turned up at a parapet

Bitumen roof waterproofing in Ibn Dihman

Bitumen roof waterproofing in Ibn Dihman blocks water crossing the concrete surface through cracks and joints. Bitumen rolls are secured to the surface to form a tight, long-lasting barrier.

What the service includes

What bitumen roof waterproofing includes

  • Checking the roof surface and identifying points that need extra preparation before the rolls go down
  • Cleaning the surface and removing failing layers and dirt that would weaken the bond
  • Laying bitumen rolls with enough overlap at every seam between one strip and the next
  • Sealing the roll edges at the parapet on both the horizontal and vertical faces
  • Treating the specific points around drain bases, pipes and AC unit stands
  • Confirming the layer is continuous with no break from the centre to every edge
How we work

From your call to the sealed roof

  1. 1

    Describe what you see

    Call or message us on WhatsApp and tell us what shows on your ceiling or roof surface. We will guide you to the next step.

  2. 2

    Preparing the surface first

    The job starts by cleaning the surface of dirt and failing layers, because a roll only bonds well to a clean, sound base.

  3. 3

    Laying and overlapping the rolls

    The rolls are laid in parallel strips and each strip overlaps the next at the edge, because the seam between two strips is the most vulnerable point in any bitumen covering.

  4. 4

    Sealing the edges and penetrations

    The membrane edges are sealed at the parapet and around every drain base, pipe and AC stand, because these specific points are where water most often enters.

About the area

The service in Ibn Dihman

In a small settlement like Ibn Dihman, flat roofs are often exposed to damp because rare rain, when it comes, finds weak joints, cracks and corners. A roof may carry tanks, stair covers or a parapet, each a likely leak spot. Work begins with a thorough inspection of the concrete to locate weakness and cracks, then surfaces are cleaned and levelled, and bitumen rolls are stuck down to cover all joints and edges. The first inspection shows what must be treated before bitumen is laid.

Ibn Dihman is a small settlement in Al-Ahsa governorate in the Eastern Province, close to Muraytibah, Sudah and Al Jishshah.

Water usually seeps at joints between roof sections and around the bases of tanks and parapets, so inspection focuses there first.

Questions

Questions about Bitumen roof waterproofing in Ibn Dihman

Bitumen rolls suit flat concrete roofs in most cases. A very sloped roof or one finished with tiles needs a different assessment. The surface should be sound and free of deep cracking before the rolls go down; otherwise it needs extra preparation first.

The middle of the roof is usually flat and continuous. At the parapet, the horizontal membrane meets the vertical wall, forming a joint that moves with heat expansion and contraction. If that edge is not sealed well, water usually finds its way in there.

Clean, sound concrete usually needs a primer coat to open its pores and improve how the roll bonds to it. Laying a roll on an unprepared surface weakens the bond and leaves the layer prone to separating over time, especially with the temperature range.

The seam between two strips breaks the continuity of the waterproof layer. If the strips do not overlap enough and the edge is not pressed down until it bonds, a fine gap remains. That gap opens in summer heat and closes again, and water finds its way through it in every rainfall.

Bitumen suits a flat concrete roof that lets water in and needs a flexible protective layer that handles thermal expansion. If the problem is mainly heat with no visible water entry, another material may be more suitable. An initial assessment of the roof is what determines the right choice.

If the concrete surface is smooth with no actual leak yet, bitumen protects it and prevents future seeping. The inspection determines the right material based on the roof's actual state.

Say if the roof collects water in certain spots, whether you see cracks, and what stands on the surface such as tanks. A clear photo of the roof sent via WhatsApp helps.
