Wondering whether a crack in your concrete wall or slab in Makkah is worth repairing now, or whether it can wait? The answer depends on what the crack is doing, not just how wide it looks. The centre of Makkah sits about 301 m above sea level, and that matters less than the day-to-day heat, dust and temperature swings that stress building materials over time. A small hairline crack may only need a maintenance visit, which typically costs SAR 160–420 per visit, while wider or spreading cracks can call for restoration at SAR 55–160 per m². Knowing which category your crack falls into is the first step.
The inspection begins with a walk around the property to map every visible crack, noting its length, width, direction and whether it looks new or has been there for years. The technician then checks whether the cracks are only on the surface or run deeper into structural members such as columns, beams and corners where openings meet. They look for signs of moisture staining, loose plaster, rust marks on exposed reinforcement and any movement at joints. Based on this, they explain whether the problem is cosmetic, a sign of water entry, or a possible structural concern that needs a closer engineering look before any repair is planned.
Before the visit, gather a few details that will make the inspection faster and more accurate. Note when you first noticed each crack and whether it has grown after heat, rain or a nearby construction works. Clear access to the affected walls, ceilings and roof areas, and move furniture or stored items at least a metre away from the marked spots. Take clear photos and a rough sketch showing where each crack sits. If the building has any earlier repair records or drawings, keep them handy. Having this ready lets the technician give you a clear scope and an honest estimate on the same day.
Each job ends with a written report that carries a verification code you can check on our site.

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.
