Alkharj is a city where many apartment buildings sit close to open land and older utility lines, and where summer heat pushes rodents toward stored food, bins and the spaces under floors. The facts available for this page are mostly about building work and bird netting rather than area-specific traits, so the local description stays general: the question is how a residential building in this kind of setting is usually entered by rodents, and where they nest once they arrive.
For apartments, the first check is usually the building's entry points around the ground floor, the bin area, drains and any gaps near ducts or pipes, because those are where rodents enter and where droppings and gnaw marks are most often found. Treatment on a single unit cannot be judged properly until those routes are known, and a building with shared walls and common drains often needs the whole structure considered, not one flat alone. Where bird netting or other exclusion work is also needed on balconies or ledges, that is assessed separately so the scope is clear before any work starts.
Before the visit, it helps to note where you have seen droppings or noises, whether food is stored in open packaging, and whether neighbours have reported the same problem. Ask the team whether the visit covers only your unit or the shared areas, how a follow-up is handled, and whether a recurring service plan suits the building better than a one-time treatment.
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 Alkharj
Does an underground tank require waterproofing even if it is new?
Yes, concrete is naturally porous, which can lead to leaks or groundwater seepage. Applying epoxy or cementitious insulation from the start maintains water quality and protects the structure from corrosion.
Do you need to evacuate the building during renovation work?
It depends on the type and scope of the work. Surface work such as plastering and painting usually does not require evacuation, while partial or full evacuation may be advised in cases of structural reinforcement, and the contractor determines this after inspection.
