Concrete crack repair for schools in Aljumum starts with a simple first check: how the building sits in its surroundings. The centre of Aljumum sits about 200 m above sea level, so school buildings there can face different drainage and ground conditions than those on flatter land nearby. Before any repair is discussed, the technician looks at where rainwater runs off the roofs, courtyards and car parks, because water that pools against a wall or footing is one of the most common reasons cracks widen over time. Noting these patterns early helps decide whether the repair is a surface fix or whether the cause needs attention first.
Several things cannot be judged from a description or a photo and are left to the site visit. The technician needs to see the width, length and direction of each crack, whether it is moving or stable, and whether the surrounding concrete is sound or has started to break away. Access, the condition of reinforcement where it shows, and any signs of damp inside classrooms are all examined on the spot. The scope of the work follows from these findings. A maintenance visit for minor sealing is usually priced at SAR 150–400 per visit, while larger restoration is estimated at SAR 50–150 per m², and the final figure depends on what the inspection reveals. Schools should not expect a firm quotation until the site has been looked at.
To help the technician prepare, it is useful to have a short list ready before the visit. Note the school's name, the building or block affected, and the rooms or corridors where cracks are visible. Mention when the cracks were first noticed and whether they have changed since, including after heavy rain. If possible, photograph each crack with a coin or ruler beside it to show scale. Let the technician know about any recent works on the site, such as new paving or drainage changes, and confirm when the school can allow access so that classes are not disrupted. This information makes the visit shorter and the resulting plan clearer for the school.
For schools, the larger jobs are planned for weekends and holidays.
