Preventive maintenance for schools in Alkharj starts with a clear view of the local setting. The centre of Alkharj sits about 439 m above sea level, according to SRTM open elevation data, so the site sits on high inland ground rather than near the coast. That elevation matters for how a school's roof drainage, outdoor tanks and exterior fittings are checked. Our technicians look first at roof outlets, gutters and downpipes, because water needs a clear route away from the building, and at outdoor tanks and pump areas, which are exposed to sun and dust throughout the year.
Some items cannot be judged from a description alone and are left to the site visit. The technician walks the classrooms, corridors, washrooms and kitchen to see where moisture stains, cracks, loose fittings or worn seals already show. They check the age and condition of electrical boards, ceiling fans and air-conditioning units, and they note any areas where paint or plaster has lifted. The visit also confirms the size of any damaged surface, since repair cost depends on the area affected. As a guide, a maintenance visit is priced at SAR 150–400 per visit, and restoration is priced at SAR 50–150 per m², so the final figure is only set once the technician has measured the work on site.
To help the technician arrive prepared, the school should share a simple floor plan or list of buildings, the times when classes and staff are present, and any areas where work must be done outside teaching hours. It helps to note recent problems such as leaks after rain, blocked drains or fittings that have been repaired before, and to make sure the roof access route and plant rooms are unlocked. Keeping a record of each visit lets the school track what was checked, what was fixed and what needs attention next time, which makes the preventive plan easier to follow across the school year.
For schools, the larger jobs are planned for weekends and holidays.

Common questions about preventive maintenance in Alkharj
Does an underground tank require waterproofing even if it is new?
Yes, concrete is naturally porous, which can lead to leaks or groundwater seepage. Applying epoxy or cementitious insulation from the start maintains water quality and protects the structure from corrosion.
Do you need to evacuate the building during renovation work?
It depends on the type and scope of the work. Surface work such as plastering and painting usually does not require evacuation, while partial or full evacuation may be advised in cases of structural reinforcement, and the contractor determines this after inspection.
