ETCE is based in Dammam, and most of our completed Saudi projects are within half an hour of our own yard. That matters more than it sounds: when a warehouse roof in the First or Second Industrial City starts leaking over stock, the difference between a survey this week and a survey next month is usually the difference between a repair and a replacement.
Why industrial roofs fail in Dammam
Dammam sits on the Gulf coast, and the air carries salt. On a metal roof that means corrosion starts at the places where water sits longest and where the protective coating is already broken – screw penetrations, sheet overlaps, gutter beds and cut edges. A roof can look sound from the ground for years while the fastener line quietly rusts through from the washer down.
The second factor is thermal movement. Sheets expand through the day and contract overnight, working against fixings that were never designed for twenty years of that cycle. Washers harden, screw holes elongate, and sealant that was flexible on day one splits.
Add the humidity coming off the Gulf and you get condensation forming under the sheets in buildings that are cooled or refrigerated. Facility teams often read that as a roof leak when it is an insulation and ventilation problem – and treating it as a leak wastes money without fixing anything.
- Salt-laden coastal air accelerating corrosion at fasteners, laps and cut edges
- Gutters and valley gutters holding standing water long after rain
- Thermal cycling working fixings loose across large-span warehouse roofs
- Condensation under sheets in cooled and refrigerated buildings, mistaken for leaks
- Older industrial-estate roofs carrying layers of previous patch repairs
What we waterproof in Dammam
We price by failure point rather than as a single blanket rate, so you can see exactly what is being treated and why.
- Roof leak repair & maintenance
Tracing the actual entry point, not the ceiling stain, then sealing it permanently.
- Warehouse & factory roof waterproofing
Full-roof EPDM rehabilitation for logistics sheds, plants and storage buildings.
- Screw heads & fasteners
Failed washers and backed-out fasteners sealed and capped with EPDM.
- Eave & valley gutters
Lining and resealing corroded gutters without cutting the roof open.
- Rust treatment
Mechanical preparation and corrosion treatment before any membrane goes down.
- End laps & side laps
The horizontal and vertical sheet joints where most industrial roof leaks begin.
- Skylights & smoke vents
Curbs, upstands and translucent sheets sealed or replaced.
- Concrete & flat roof EPDM
Plain, gravel and tiled concrete roofs, water tanks and septic tanks.
How the work runs
- Free site inspectionWe walk the roof and trace where water is actually entering, which is often several metres from the ceiling stain.
- Written scope with photographsYou get each failure point documented and priced, not a lump sum with nothing behind it.
- Programme agreed around your operationsShift patterns, permits, access and any shutdown window are planned before mobilisation.
- Execution from the roof surfacePreparation, corrosion treatment, then EPDM detailing and membrane. Your building keeps working.
- Handover and warrantyDocumented completion, up to 15 years on EPDM systems, with a 24–48 hour after-sales response.

Frequently asked questions
Do you carry out free roof inspections in Dammam?
Yes. We survey the roof, trace where water is actually entering, and give you a written scope with photographs before you commit to anything. There is no charge for the inspection.
How quickly can you get to site in Dammam?
Our base is in Dammam, so survey visits in the city are usually arranged within a couple of working days. Emergency leak calls are prioritised.
Do you have to shut the warehouse down while you work?
In almost all cases, no. EPDM rehabilitation is carried out from the roof surface, and we sequence the work around your operations, shift patterns and any permit-to-work system you run.
What warranty do you give?
Up to 15 years on EPDM waterproofing systems. EPDM membrane has an average service life beyond 20 years when it is correctly specified and installed.
Do you only work on metal roofs?
No. We also waterproof concrete and flat roofs, gravel and tiled roofs, underground water tanks and septic tanks, and we carry out epoxy flooring and line marking.
Book a free roof inspection in Dammam
Tell us what you are seeing – a drip over a loading bay, staining along a gutter line, rust spreading across a fastener row – and we will survey the roof and come back with a written scope and photographs. Most of our Saudi projects are within half an hour of here, so a Dammam survey is usually a matter of days.
