Thama, Dammam, sits at roughly 26.3544 north and 50.1307 east, about 8.5 km from the centre of Dammam, and the area has an approximate radius of 1.2 km. Because the centre of Thama is about 52 m above sea level and lies roughly 8.6 km from the coast, a maintenance plan for a villa here starts with the building's exposure rather than its age. Our technicians check the roof and external walls first, looking for sun-related cracking, paint failure and sealant breakdown, since the distance from the coast means salt air is less of a concern than in the most exposed coastal districts, while heat and dust still shape how surfaces wear. Drainage and the condition of rooftop tanks and gutters are checked next, because the open ground and modest elevation of the area mean rainwater must clear properly from the site.
Several items are left to the site visit itself, because they depend on what is physically present at each villa. These include the state of the boundary walls, the condition of any garden irrigation, the age and location of air-conditioning units, the wear on doors and window frames, and any signs of moisture rising through ground-floor walls. The technician will also note whether any previous repair has been carried out poorly, and will decide on the spot which items are minor adjustments and which need a separate quotation. Where a surface needs restoration, the work is priced per square metre, typically between SAR 50 and SAR 150 per m², depending on the surface and the extent of the damage found on the day.
Finally, a few details help the technician arrive prepared and work efficiently. Please note the villa's exact address and any gate or access arrangements, the number of floors, the location of the main water and electricity shut-off points, and any areas of the property that have been recently repainted or repaired. Routine maintenance visits are charged at SAR 150 to SAR 400 per visit, and having a clear record of past work allows the technician to focus on what has changed since the last check. Keeping that record in one place, and telling us about any new leaks, cracks or unusual smells before the scheduled visit, makes each annual contract far more useful to the household.
In a villa, tanks, the roof and the yard lines are usually yours to look after, so it helps to know where the main valve and tank hatches are.
