Do I really need an annual maintenance contract for a property in Dar Al Slam, Makkah, or can I simply call someone when something breaks? For many owners here, the answer depends on how exposed the home is and how quickly a small fault can become an emergency. Dar Al Slam sits around the coordinates 21.3274, 39.7788, roughly 10.7 km from the centre of Makkah, and the neighbourhood covers an approximate radius of 1.2 km. The centre of Dar Al Slam sits about 241 m above sea level, according to SRTM open elevation data. A contract gives you a planned schedule of checks, so that problems are found before they reach the emergency stage rather than after.

An annual maintenance contract follows a set sequence. The technician begins with a walk-through of the building, checking the roof edges, external walls, drainage points and any visible cracks or damp patches. Next comes an inspection of electrical panels, water connections, pumps and tanks, and the condition of doors, windows and seals. Each visit is recorded, so the owner can see what was checked, what was repaired and what needs attention before the next visit. Where a larger repair is needed, the technician explains the scope first. A routine maintenance visit is priced at SAR 160–420 per visit, while restoration work is priced at SAR 55–160 per m², depending on the area and condition of the surface.

Before the visit, gather the information the technician will need to work efficiently. Write down any problems you have noticed since the last visit, such as leaks, slow drains, flickering lights or unusual noises from pumps. Clear access to the roof, the water tank area, the electrical room and the external drains, and make sure someone with authority over the property can be reached during the inspection. Keep copies of earlier service records and any previous repair invoices. If there is a known emergency history, such as flooding after heavy rain, mention it at the start. Good preparation shortens the visit and helps the team focus on the faults that matter most.

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