Does an annual maintenance contract make sense for a home in Al Qrara Al Jdyd, Makkah? For most owners here, the answer depends on how the property is positioned in the landscape. Al Qrara Al Jdyd is centred at 21.2825, 39.7825, roughly 14.2 km from the centre of Makkah, and its approximate radius is 1.2 km. The centre sits about 205 m above sea level, and the nearest wadi channel lies about 1 km away. Those facts matter, because drainage paths and ground conditions shape how water and dust reach a building over the course of a year.

An annual contract is best understood as a planned set of visits rather than a single repair. Each maintenance visit is priced in the range of SAR 160–420 per visit, depending on the scope of work. During a typical inspection, the technician looks first at roof surfaces, parapets and outdoor drainage outlets, since these are the points where rainwater and debris gather. Next comes the building envelope: walls, external plaster, window seals and door frames. Interior checks follow, covering damp patches, ceiling stains and the condition of plumbing fittings. Where a surface has started to deteriorate, the technician notes its extent so that any later restoration can be scoped accurately. Restoration work is quoted separately at SAR 55–160 per m², which is why early spotting of small defects usually keeps the overall cost lower.

To make the visit productive, prepare a few things beforehand. Clear access to the roof and to any external drainage points, and move vehicles or stored items away from the walls being inspected. Gather earlier maintenance records, invoices and any notes about past leaks or cracks, so the technician can compare current conditions with previous ones. List the problems you have noticed since the last visit, such as recurring damp, blocked outlets or new hairline cracks, and note where they occur. Confirm who will be present to let the technician in and to approve any work above the visit fee. With this preparation, the inspection can focus on what needs attention and the annual contract becomes a clear record of your property's condition.

If water is flowing, close the main valve first, then call or message with photos.
