Wondering whether a hairline crack in your hotel's car park or serviced apartment balcony is worth fixing now? In Khafji, the answer usually depends on how quickly the damage is caught. The centre of Khafji sits about 9 m above sea level, and the town is about 2 km from the sea coast, so concrete here is regularly exposed to salt-laden air. Over time that exposure can make small cracks grow, which is why early attention matters for hotels and serviced apartments that rely on steady guest traffic and a well-kept appearance.

Our inspection starts with a walk through the property to map every visible crack, noting its width, length and location, and whether it runs through slabs, columns, walls or stairs. We check for staining, flaking or signs of moisture that suggest the problem is spreading beneath the surface. Where a crack is active, we record its pattern so you can see whether it is changing. You receive a written summary of what we found, with a clear indication of which areas need a maintenance visit and which need full restoration. A maintenance visit costs SAR 150–400 per visit, while restoration is priced at SAR 50–150 per m², so the scope of work is confirmed before any repair begins.

To make the visit efficient, prepare a list of the areas guests or staff have reported, along with any past repair records and dates. Clear access to car parks, rooftops, stairwells and the affected rooms will save time, so arrange for keys or a building contact to be available. Let housekeeping or facilities staff know in advance so that work zones can be planned around check-in periods. If you have drawings or a site plan showing the building layout, share them as well. Having this information ready helps the inspection finish in one visit and gives you a practical plan for protecting your property.

For hotels and serviced apartments, rooms are handled in batches to keep units available.
