What is specific about Alahsa for ant control
Team note on Alahsa: 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 Alahsa sits about 152 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).
Ant control in Alahsa starts with a simple check of where the colony is likely to be. The centre of Alahsa sits about 152 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), so the site is low-lying and is not a mountain setting, which means technicians look at ground-level entry points, pipe runs and the edges of paving before looking higher up the building. A standard pest-control visit in the area is priced at SAR 150–400 per visit, and a follow-up visit is SAR 100–250 per visit, so the first visit is usually where the main treatment and inspection happen and the follow-up confirms that the trail has stopped.
Several things cannot be judged from a description or a photo and are left to the site visit. The technician needs to see the actual nest location, whether the colony sits under a slab, inside a wall void or in a garden bed, and how far the trail runs from the food source. Other pests found on site may change the plan. If rodents are present, rodent control is billed at SAR 200–500 per visit, and if the timber shows signs of termites, treatment is charged at SAR 10–25 per m². Bird activity around the roof or balcony is priced separately at SAR 30–80 per m, so it is noted during the visit rather than assumed. Where a building has ongoing pressure from several pests, an annual pest-control contract runs at SAR 500–1,500 per month, and the terms are agreed only after the inspection.
To help the technician arrive prepared, it is useful to note where ants have been seen, at what times of day, and whether the trail follows a particular wall, cable run or drain. Photos of the entry points, a rough sketch of the rooms, and any past treatments with dates are all valuable. Tell the team whether there are pets, children or food-storage areas that need particular care, and whether the property is occupied during the visit. Clear access to kitchens, bathrooms and any outdoor storage saves time. With this information, the first visit can focus on the real source rather than on guesswork, and the price stated in the quote reflects what the site actually needs.

Questions from Alahsa
Is it possible to unclog drains without breaking the floors?
In most cases, yes: camera inspection and high-pressure water jetting clear the blockage from drain openings and inspection chambers without breaking anything, except when there is an actual break in the pipes.
Does renovation include treating dampness and insulation?
Usually yes, since dampness treatment is an essential part of renovation, especially in Al-Ahsa. The contractor identifies the source of the leak and then carries out the appropriate insulation. Mention the dampness problem in your request description.

Foam is sprayed on as a continuous layer with no seams and provides both thermal and water insulation, while rolls are separate pieces that require joining and mainly focus on water insulation.
