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).
Should I treat an apartment before the builders finish, or wait until the building is occupied? Pre-construction treatment in Alahsa is usually the better choice, and the reason starts with the place itself. The centre of Alahsa sits about 152 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), so the city is a low, flat oasis setting where pests find warm, sheltered ground easily. Treating the structure while walls, floors and voids are still open lets the work reach places that will be sealed off once finishing is done. Prices are set out so you can plan the budget: termite treatment runs SAR 10–25 per m², bird control SAR 30–80 per m, and rodent control SAR 200–500 per visit.
The inspection follows a clear order. A technician first walks the full apartment shell, checking foundations, wall cavities, service ducts, and any openings to the roof or balconies. Termite treatment is priced per square metre, so the surface area is measured at this stage. Bird control is also priced per metre, so ledges, balcony edges and roof lines are noted. Where rodents are found, the visit is logged and a treatment schedule is agreed. The inspector then writes up the findings and recommends whether a one-off visit or an ongoing plan suits the building.
Before the visit, gather the drawings or floor plan of the apartment, along with the measured floor and wall area so the quote can be checked against the fixed rates. Note any balcony, roof access or gaps around pipes and cables, and tell the team if the site has already had pest activity. If you expect ongoing cover, ask about an annual pest-control contract, which runs SAR 500–1,500 per month, and budget for follow-up visits at SAR 100–250 each. Ask for a standard pest-control visit at SAR 150–400 per visit if you want a single check before handover. Clear access to every room on the day keeps the inspection on schedule.
In an apartment, a problem may start in your unit or in a shared line; we separate the two before any work.

Short answers for 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.
