Before we start: what we know about Makkah
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.. The centre of Makkah sits about 301 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).
Preventive maintenance in Makkah starts with the problem that shows up most often in homes and small commercial units across the city: dust and heat working into air-conditioning systems and water lines. Fine sand and dust settle on condenser coils, drain pans and filters, reducing airflow and pushing units to run longer than they should. Left alone, this leads to weak cooling, higher bills and early compressor failure. Regular cleaning and filter checks are the simplest way to prevent it, and they are the core of a preventive plan here.
The local setting shapes the approach. The centre of Makkah sits about 301 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), and the city's hot, dry conditions mean cooling equipment is under steady strain for much of the year. Technicians should plan visits around peak heat, inspect rooftop units and outdoor coils more closely than they might elsewhere, and check that drainage is clear so condensate and rain run away from walls and foundations. Because dust is constant, a visit that only tops up refrigerant without cleaning the unit will not solve the underlying problem.
Before booking, ask what the visit covers and how it is priced. A standard maintenance visit in Makkah typically falls within SAR 160–420 per visit, depending on the work and the equipment involved. Ask whether the price includes coil and filter cleaning, drain checks and a written note of anything that needs attention. If the property also has wall damage from moisture or dust staining, restoration is priced separately at SAR 55–160 per m², so ask for a site assessment before agreeing to any larger job. Clear questions at the start keep the visit focused and the costs predictable.
Each job ends with a written report that carries a verification code you can check on our site.

Common questions about preventive maintenance 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.
