Before you buy an annual maintenance contract in Al Jzaa, Riyadh, start with the location itself. The centre of Al Jzaa sits at 24.5667, 46.7500, about 18 km from the centre of Riyadh, and its approximate radius is 1.2 km, so a contract should be written for a defined local area rather than an open-ended city service. The centre also sits about 571 m above sea level, according to SRTM open elevation data, which means the first checks should look at how water and dust move across the property, since altitude and slope shape drainage. The nearest wadi channel is about 1 km from the centre of Al Jzaa, according to OpenStreetMap, so ask any provider to check drainage paths, outdoor drains and boundary walls that could be exposed when rain runs toward low ground.

Some things can only be judged on the day of the site visit. A technician needs to see the actual condition of roofs, water tanks, electrical panels, air-conditioning units, plumbing joints and external walls, and to judge how much of the work is routine upkeep and how much is repair. Ask the provider to walk the property with you and to note what they recommend, rather than relying on a general quotation. The visit is also the moment to confirm the price of each visit, which is listed as SAR 160–420 per visit, and to see what a restoration would cost if one were needed, which is listed as SAR 55–160 per m². Ask how the final figure will be measured and whether the contract covers materials or only labour.

Finally, prepare information that helps the technician do the job well. Write down the age of the building, any past leaks or damp patches, the date of the last major repair, and where the main shut-off valves and electrical boards are located. Note which areas face the wadi side or sit lower on the plot, since those are often the first to show water problems. Keep a simple record of any issues you notice between visits, with dates and photographs, so the next visit can start from what has already been observed. A clear history like this lets the contract focus on real needs and makes it easier to compare what each provider offers.

Before buying or taking over a property, an inspection gives you findings in writing before you sign.
