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

Bitumen roof waterproofing in UmmTali

In UmmTali, simple home roofs face scorching sun and rare but intense rain, and cracks and joints let water into the house. Al Raya's bitumen rolls seal all these points, preventing water and damp from seeping in.

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 UmmTali

In a village like UmmTali, home roofs are usually simple and flat, collecting water quickly when rain falls. Joints between roof sections and around any tank or drain are where leaks start. Bitumen rolls are laid on a clean roof and bonded so they overlap and cover every joint and edge with layers. The roof is checked first to confirm it is free of large cracks and damp, because bitumen works only on a sound surface.

UmmTali is a village in Al-Ahsa governorate in the Eastern Province, close to 'Uray'irah, Umm al Hamam and Umm Rubay'ah.

Water pools in corners and along roof joints, which are the first places that must be strongly sealed with bitumen.

Questions

Questions about Bitumen roof waterproofing in UmmTali

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.

Tell them whether the roof is flat or has waves, whether you see damp stains or cracks, and if there is a tank or drain on the roof. A photo of the roof on WhatsApp helps them assess the situation at the start.

The rolls protect the roof as long as they remain bonded and joints are sealed. Intense heat and rain test them, so the roof should be checked regularly to ensure the rolls stay sound and bonded at all edges.
