The most common problem we see in villas across Al Sadqya is water getting where it should not go. Roof membranes, external wall joints and the drainage around the foundations wear out gradually, and the first sign is often a damp patch or a stain that appears after rain rather than a leak anyone can see. An annual maintenance contract is built around catching these small faults early, because a visit that checks the roof edges, the sealant lines and the outdoor drains is far cheaper than restoring a finish that has already lifted or cracked. Routine visits in this area are typically quoted at SAR 150–400 per visit, while restoration of damaged surfaces is priced at SAR 50–150 per m², so the gap between prevention and repair is large.

The local setting changes how we approach the work. The centre of Al Sadqya sits at 24.5584, 39.5831, about 4 km from the centre of Madinah, with an approximate radius of 1.2 km, so most properties here are a short drive from the city but still sit on their own plots with open outdoor space. The centre of Al Sadqya sits about 580 m above sea level, and the nearest wadi channel is about 0.3 km from the centre of Al Sadqya. That closeness to a natural watercourse means that when rain falls heavily, runoff can move quickly across the ground toward low points around a villa. Our checks therefore focus on the boundary walls, the gates and the surface grading near the foundations, not only the roof, and we look at whether outdoor drains are clear before the rainy months arrive.

Before the first visit, ask the provider to confirm exactly what the annual contract covers, including how many visits are included, whether roof and drainage checks are part of the routine, and how restoration work is measured and quoted per square metre. Ask how the visit schedule is set around your household, and whether a written record of each inspection, with photographs of any early wear, will be provided. It also helps to ask how the team plans for heavy rain near the wadi, and what they will do if a fault is found between scheduled visits. Clear answers to these questions make it far easier to judge whether the contract suits your villa.

Villas often have several lines and tanks; we test them one at a time so the cause is clear.
