Disinfection in Al Nazlah Al Sharqiyah Jeddah

Al Nazlah Al Sharqiyah is an old popular quarter in south Jeddah adjoining Al Nazlah Al Yamaniyah, with older apartment buildings on narrow streets and very high population density inside. Fine cracks in old walls, worn pipes and blocked floor traps mean the disinfectant must focus on small openings and forgotten corners. The old building holds smells, and disinfection here needs longer to work.

Why they keep coming back in Al Nazlah Al Sharqiyah

Moisture from damaged pipes stays on walls, and foul smells come from blocked floor traps that cannot be easily cleared. Cracks between adjoining flats pass odours from one unit to another. The method is set out in full on Disinfection in detail.

The first reason

Fine cracks and old fractured walls

Old walls are cracked and fractured and hold moisture and dirt deep inside. Disinfectant may not reach inside small cracks. We wash walls hard and leave the product wet longer than usual to penetrate the cracks.

The second reason

Worn pipes and blocked traps

Pipes and traps are decades old, and water does not flow easily. Traps are clogged with hair, grease and dirt, and foul smell returns from them. We clean traps hard and dry them before disinfection.

The third reason

Adjoining flats and gaps in partition walls

Flats are tightly packed and partition walls are thin, and small openings for pipes and wires pass odours between units. Disinfecting one flat may not be enough if the adjoining flat is dirty. We recommend disinfecting nearby flats close together in time.

Before treatment

What we look at before the product is chosen

The buildings are apartment blocks decades old on very tight land, streets are narrow and homes are crowded with residents, and water and drainage networks are old with leaks common.

The touch points

Lift buttons, railings and wall handles in old buildings are sticky with grease and dirt from thousands of hands, and dampness makes them breeding grounds for pathogens.

Porous surfaces

Old concrete and stone walls absorb water and moisture deeply and hold it, and disinfectant may not penetrate deep layers. We clean hard and support long ventilation.

The finish itself

Old paint on walls is peeling and crumbling, and disinfectant cannot reach the wall beneath it. We carefully remove peeling paint before disinfection.

The air conditioning unit

Old or makeshift air conditioning like fans collect dust and moisture, and filters are not easily replaced. We clean and blow them hard before and after disinfection.

Floor traps

Old floor traps are clogged with hair, grease and soap, and standing water produces very foul smell. We clear them vigorously from above or call a plumber.

Shared entrances and stairs

We open windows before disinfection to air out old odours, close them firmly during treatment, and open carefully after two hours for safe ventilation.

How we work

1
Walk the space and list the surfaces

We go through the rooms and mark the touch points, the porous surfaces and the finishes, then ask what prompted the call: illness at home, moving into a new place, building work, or a smell that arrived out of nowhere.
2
Clean what we are about to treat

We take the film of dust and grease off the surfaces that are in scope, so the product reaches the surface itself. This is preparation for the treatment, not general house cleaning.
3
Apply it, and hold the contact time

Hand work on the touch points, a product matched to each surface, and the surface left visibly wet for as long as that material needs before it is dried off. Cold fogging comes last, for what a cloth cannot reach.
4
Ventilate and hand back

We open the place up, rinse food preparation surfaces with water, and tell you when each room goes back into use. We give you that timing on the call, because it changes with the product and the space.

What a disinfection visit includes

A surface and touch point survey

What gets treated, and with what, settled before anything is opened.
Soil off first, then the disinfectant

The greasy film comes off first, then a product that stays wet for the contact time it needs.
Floor traps and the air conditioning drain

Floor traps, sink outlets and the drain tray, which is where most smells actually begin.
Cold fogging for the space

For upward faces and corners a cloth never reaches, done as the last thing before we leave a room.
Ventilation and use instructions

What gets rinsed with water, what is left alone, and when each room goes back into use.
A scheduled repeat when it is needed

For shared entrances and places people pass through every day, because a disinfectant leaves nothing behind to stop the next contact.

The character of Al Nazlah Al Sharqiyah

Apartment district: residential blocks, repeated floors and shared entrances

Al Nazlah Al Sharqiyah is a crowded apartment district with old buildings, and closely packed flats with thin walls and pipe gaps pass odours between units.

Questions about this district

Do the many cracks in old flat walls mean disinfectant stays on the surface or penetrates inside?

Disinfectant works best on the surface, but if we leave the product wet longer it will penetrate small cracks. We clean walls first with a brush to remove dirt from cracks.

Can blocked traps and standing water be cleared without breaking the floor?

Yes. We clear them from above using a plunger, hot water and enzyme cleaners. If they stay blocked we may need a plumber.

Do smells from the adjoining flat entering mine mean disinfection will not solve the problem?

Disinfection kills the microbes that cause the smell, but if the adjoining flat is dirty, odours may return. We recommend neighbours co-operate and disinfect neighbouring flats together.

Dampness from broken pipes in the wall, does disinfection remove the smell of old moisture?

Disinfection kills microbes in the moisture, but the smell of old dampness may remain. If pipes are leaking, we need pipe repair first and then disinfection.

How often per year does a flat in Al Nazlah Al Sharqiyah need disinfection?

At least two to three times yearly because of high population density, dampness and old pipes. If the neighbouring flat is dirty, it may need more often.

After disinfection, can the flat be ventilated or should we wait?

Wait at least two hours until the product dries. But in the old dense neighbourhood, outside air may carry pollution from the street. We open windows in early morning when outdoor pollution is lighter.

How much does disinfection in Al Nazlah Al Sharqiyah cost?

It is set after the inspection, because the price follows the type of infestation, the size of the space, how far it has spread and the number of visits it needs. Send a photo and a description on WhatsApp and we will give you an estimate before we reach Al Nazlah Al Sharqiyah.
