Al Mhmdya sits at 21.6495, 39.1253, roughly 12.8 km from the centre of Jeddah, and its built-up area has an approximate radius of 2.9 km. Because the neighbourhood lies about 6 m above sea level and about 2.4 km from the sea coast, our technicians begin each annual contract review with the building's exposure to the coastal air and the local ground conditions. Salt-laden air moves inland to this part of the city, so the first items on the checklist are external fittings, balcony railings, outdoor AC condenser units, and the condition of exposed metal fixtures. These are inspected before any interior work is discussed, because they show the earliest signs of corrosion and are usually the first items that need attention in a residential building close to the shoreline.

Several things in an apartment cannot be judged from a checklist and are left to the site visit. The technician will look at the actual moisture levels in walls and ceilings, check the drainage around the building, test the water pressure at the taps, and examine the wiring and distribution board in each unit. The visit also covers the condition of seals around windows and doors, the state of the roof membrane if the apartment is on the top floor, and any cracks or staining that suggest a leak. Each visit is priced within the published range of SAR 160–420 per visit, and the final figure depends on how many units are covered and how much time the work takes on the day. Any restoration work is quoted separately at SAR 55–160 per m², so the technician will measure the affected areas on site before giving a figure.

To help the technician arrive prepared, residents should share a few details in advance. Note the floor and unit number, any previous repair records, and any problems that have recurred, such as damp patches or sticking doors. Clear access to the balcony, the air conditioning units, and the electrical cupboard saves time at the start of the visit. If the apartment has been empty for a while, mention it, since closed rooms often show more humidity and musty smells than occupied ones. Sharing this information lets the technician focus on the most important items on the day and gives you a clearer picture of what the annual contract will cover.

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