Team note on Madinah: Kashf teams serve this city and its nearby districts with the same documented inspection standard: device-based leak detection without demolition, a written report, and a clear scope before any work begins.. The centre of Madinah sits about 589 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).
The centre of Madinah sits about 589 m above sea level, and that height shapes where a villa's maintenance attention should start. At this elevation, the air is drier and the temperature swings between day and night can be sharp, so the first things a technician checks under an annual contract are the external sealants, roof membranes, and the expansion joints in concrete and render, because these are the parts that respond most to heat and dust. Our maintenance visit is priced at SAR 150–400 per visit, and the first walk-round is included in that range, so the early checks give a clear picture before any further work is discussed.
The details that depend on the actual building are left to the site visit. A technician cannot judge from a contract alone whether a wall is damp, whether a water tank lid is sealed, whether an air-conditioning unit is clogged with grit, or how well the drainage around the villa carries rainwater away. These are read on the spot, with the homeowner present where possible, so that anything found is explained before work begins. If a larger repair is needed, the restoration rate of SAR 50–150 per m² is quoted only after the affected area has been measured on site, so the figure always reflects the real surface in front of the technician.
Information that helps the technician is worth gathering before the visit. Note the year the villa was built, any previous repairs and who carried them out, which rooms have had leaks or cracks, and where the water supply and electrical panels are located. Mention any pets, gate codes, or times when the household is away. A short list of these points, kept with the contract, means the technician arrives knowing the history of the property and can spend the visit on the checks that matter most in Madinah's climate.
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.

Questions from Madinah
What is the difference between standard spraying and integrated pest management?
Standard spraying treats visible symptoms only, while integrated pest management includes diagnosis, sealing entry points, and multiple methods for longer-lasting results.
Could the leak be caused by weak waterproofing rather than the pipes?
Yes, damage to the waterproofing layer beneath the bathroom floor is one of the most common causes of leaks, especially in older buildings. In this case, water seeps through the tile joints into the screed and then down to the ceiling below. A specialized inspection can distinguish this from a pipe leak.
What is the difference between drain unblocking and drain cleaning?
Unblocking removes an existing blockage that prevents drainage, while cleaning is a preventive procedure that removes deposits and grease from pipes before they cause a blockage.
