Before we start: what we know about Al Bhyrat

The centre of Al Bhyrat is at 21.4905, 39.7777, about 14 km from the centre of Makkah, with an approximate radius of 1.2 km. The service-area circle on the map below is drawn from this point. The centre of Al Bhyrat sits about 321 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).

Apartments in Al Bhyrat, Makkah, most often run into the same recurring problem: water and drainage issues that build up slowly and then show up all at once. Bathroom and kitchen drains, rooftop water tanks, and external wall seals can all degrade unnoticed, and by the time a leak or blockage is visible, the damage may already extend into ceilings or flooring. An annual maintenance contract is designed to catch these things early, with a scheduled inspection of plumbing, drainage outlets and seals before small faults become large repairs.

Local conditions shape how that inspection should be planned. The centre of Al Bhyrat sits at about 21.4905, 39.7777, roughly 14 km from the centre of Makkah, with an approximate radius of 1.2 km, so the area is a defined neighbourhood rather than a sprawling district, and a contractor familiar with its building stock can plan routes and timings efficiently. It also sits about 321 m above sea level, which matters for water pressure in upper-floor apartments and for how rooftop tanks and pumps are checked. Because the cost of restoring finished surfaces ranges from SAR 55–160 per m², the value of early detection is significant: a small seal repair or drain clearance costs far less than redoing a wet floor or ceiling area. A single maintenance visit typically falls within SAR 160–420, so an annual contract lets you compare routine upkeep against the much higher cost of restoration.

Before the first visit, ask the provider what the contract covers and what it does not. Confirm how many visits are included in the year, what each visit inspects, and whether drain clearing, pump checks and seal inspection are part of the standard scope or charged separately. Ask how they assess water pressure for upper floors in Al Bhyrat, how they record findings so you can track recurring issues, and how they would handle an urgent leak between scheduled visits. Clarify whether the price quoted is per visit and what happens if a repair is needed during a routine call. Clear answers to these questions will show you whether the contract matches the realities of your apartment.

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