Concrete crack repair in Makkah: the local context
The centre of Makkah sits about 301 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data). Team note on Makkah: 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..
Concrete crack repair for companies on an annual contract in Makkah usually starts with the same problem: hairline and wider cracks in floor slabs, car park decks, loading bays and external walls that open up as the concrete moves with temperature swings. In a commercial building these cracks are rarely just cosmetic. Water finds its way in, reinforcement starts to corrode, and a small defect that could have been sealed in an afternoon becomes a larger job with disruption to tenants and staff. An annual contract lets a company catch these cracks early, record them, and treat them on a schedule rather than in an emergency.
The local setting shapes how this work is done. The centre of Makkah sits about 301 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), and the city's heat, dust and sudden rain all affect how concrete behaves and how repairs cure. A crack filled during the hottest part of the day may need a different material and a different timing from one treated in cooler months, so the approach is adjusted for the season and the exposure of each area. Surfaces that take heavy traffic, such as car park decks and loading zones, are treated differently from sheltered internal walls. Pricing follows that difference too. A routine maintenance visit typically falls within SAR 160–420 per visit, while full restoration is priced per square metre at SAR 55–160 per m², so a contract can separate quick checks from larger repair programmes.
Before the first visit, ask the provider a few direct questions. Ask how each crack will be mapped and recorded, and whether you will receive a written report with photos that you can compare from one visit to the next. Ask which repair materials they plan to use for interior and exterior areas, and how they will protect operations while work is under way. Confirm what the annual contract covers, how many visits it includes, and how extra restoration work is quoted and approved before it starts. Finally, ask who will be your single point of contact, so that defects reported by your facilities team are logged and followed up without delay.
For companies, an annual contract sets the scope, the visit schedule and the reports in writing.

Common questions about concrete crack repair in Makkah
What does finishing work typically include?
It covers plastering, painting, flooring, stone or marble walls, ceilings, gypsum, doors, windows, and final electrical and plumbing installations. You can request full or partial finishing, with the scope clearly defined in the price quote.
Is it possible to renovate the building without evacuating the residents?
In many cases it can be carried out in phases without a full evacuation if the damage is limited. However, for extensive structural renovation, a temporary evacuation may be recommended to ensure safety, and the contractor will explain this in their proposal.
Does waterproofing require removing existing tiles?
It depends on the site condition. Sometimes surface waterproofing can be applied over tiles, while deep leaks require tile removal to treat the layer underneath. A technician will determine the best option after inspection.
