Al Hmra sits close to the Red Sea, with its centre at 21.5282, 39.1626, about 2 km from the centre of Jeddah and within an approximate radius of 2.4 km. The centre lies roughly 7 m above sea level, and the coast is about 0.5 km away. Because of this, the first thing we check on an annual maintenance contract for an apartment here is the effect of salty, humid coastal air on the building and its services. Salt-laden air can accelerate corrosion on metal fittings, exposed pipework, window frames and balcony railings, so the technician looks at these first, along with any signs of moisture or staining on walls near external openings.

Some items cannot be judged from a checklist and are left to the site visit. The technician will walk through the unit to see how the fittings, seals and surfaces actually look, test that drainage and water supply behave as they should, and note where damp or corrosion has already started. Maintenance visits are priced at SAR 160–420 per visit, depending on the scope of work found on the day. If the inspection shows that surfaces need restoration, that work is quoted separately at SAR 55–160 per m², so the final cost depends on the area affected and the condition found on site. Nothing is decided in advance of seeing the property.

To help the technician arrive prepared, please tell us the apartment's floor and whether it faces the sea or the inland side, since exposure to the coast varies across a building. Note any existing damp patches, rust marks, or fittings you have replaced recently, and mention any problems you have already noticed with water pressure, drainage or air conditioning. Clear access to balconies, the utility area and the main water isolation point will let the visit cover more ground in a single appointment.

In an apartment, a problem may start in your unit or in a shared line; we separate the two before any work.
