Is an annual maintenance contract worth it for an apartment in Shab Aly Al Jdyd? For most owners the answer depends on how much the building is exposed to its surroundings. The neighbourhood's centre sits at 21.2552, 39.7310, about 19.9 km from the centre of Makkah, with an approximate radius of 1.2 km. It stands about 174 m above sea level, and the nearest wadi channel runs roughly 0.5 km from the centre. Those facts matter because a site this close to a wadi can see water, silt and sudden runoff, which tends to wear down seals, drainage and external finishes faster than in a sheltered location. A planned annual check catches these problems early, when a maintenance visit costs SAR 160–420 per visit, rather than later, when restoration can cost SAR 55–160 per m².

A typical inspection follows a set order. The technician first walks the roof and parapets to look for cracked waterproofing, blocked outlets and standing water. Next comes the external walls and balconies, where hairline cracks, loose tiles and damp patches are noted. The technician then checks drainage points and the condition of any gutters or channels that carry runoff away from the building, since these are the first to fail when rain arrives hard. Inside the apartment, the visit covers plumbing joints, water-heater connections, electrical outlets and door and window seals. Each finding is recorded with photographs so you can compare the same spots the following year and see whether a small defect is getting worse.

Preparation makes the visit shorter and more useful. Clear access to the roof and the balcony, and make sure any stored items are moved away from the walls being checked. Gather your previous maintenance records, any warranty papers for appliances, and notes on leaks or damp spots you have already noticed. If tenants live in the unit, tell them in advance so someone can be present to open rooms and point out problems. Finally, decide before the visit which repairs you would like priced on the spot, so the technician can give you a clear estimate rather than arranging a second trip.

In an apartment, a problem may start in your unit or in a shared line; we separate the two before any work.
