Disinfection in Barakah Makkah

Barakah is a newly developed district in the north east of Al Sharai on the Makkah to Taif Expressway, sitting between the hamlets of Al Hamidah and Al Said amid planned plots for sale, vacant land and farms in the bed of Wadi Al Sharai. New buildings, open excavations and farms surround the few occupied homes, meaning contaminants from the wadi and building works enter villas easily.

Why they keep coming back in Barakah

Vacant land around new Barakah villas carries dust from the Taif Expressway and open farmland, accumulating on windows and surfaces slowly but steadily. The method is set out in full on Disinfection in detail.

The first reason

Farmed and vacant land surrounds the new homes

Barakah sits in an area mostly vacant or farmed within Wadi Al Sharai. Daily irrigation of farms raises air humidity, which slows disinfectant drying on wet surfaces.

The second reason

Wadi Al Sharai carries floods and contaminants after rain

New Barakah villas sit close to the Wadi Al Sharai bed, which carries flash water and contaminants after rain. This means high damp and contaminants entering foundations and cracks.

The third reason

The nearby expressway increases dust and contaminant build up

Barakah's position on the Makkah to Taif Expressway means constant exposure to road dust and vehicle pollution. New villas may need frequent disinfection because of this location.

Landmarks of Barakah

Work in Barakah is organised from the Makkah to Taif Expressway and the hamlets of Al Hamidah and Al Said, where new villas and planned plots are located. Proximity to Wadi Al Sharai means treatment must account for both wadi damp and expressway dust together.

Before treatment

What we look at before the product is chosen

A renamed scheme in the north east of Al Sharai on the Makkah to Taif Expressway. Planned plots offered for sale sit beside farms in Wadi Al Sharai with Jabal Laban to the south.

The touch points

Repeated touch points in new Barakah villas are windows, doors and railings, all exposed to expressway dust and moisture from surrounding farms.

Porous surfaces

Porous surfaces like external walls and concrete collect dust and damp from farms and the expressway easily, needing extra cleaning before disinfection.

The finish itself

New villa finishes may be incomplete in places, leaving small gaps that let expressway dust and farm moisture enter.

The air conditioning unit

Air conditioning units in new villas may hold expressway and farm dust in filters and ducting. Cleaning them before disinfection may be necessary.

Floor traps

Floor traps may not be fully sealed, allowing insects and contaminants from surrounding farms and underground to enter.

Shared entrances and stairs

External doors and entries of new villas may have gaps around frames, allowing expressway dust and farm moisture to enter from outside.

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.

What is different about Al Sharai Sub-Municipality

Al Sharai is the eastern growth front of Makkah along King Faisal Road and the Taif road. Settled quarters sit beside recently renamed schemes where plots are still vacant and buildings are going up, so construction sites, fill and open excavations lie next to occupied homes. Wadi channels such as Wadi Mudarraja, Wadi Al Sharai and Wadi Al Mughammas carry flash floods after rain and dry out to damp silt, while dust blows off the open hills. Roadside shops, restaurants and warehouses line the Taif road, and to the east the area shades into villages, palm farms and springs.

Questions about this district

Do farms surrounding new Barakah villas create ideal mosquito and insect breeding?

Yes, daily irrigation of surrounding farms provides moisture and stability for insects and mosquitoes. Disinfection helps but blocking insect entry from farms needs cracks and gaps sealed.

Does groundwater from Wadi Al Sharai reduce disinfectant effectiveness in new villas?

Groundwater nearby increases foundation damp, which may reduce disinfectant work. Treating foundations and spaces below floor level may be necessary.

How often should a new villa near farms and open excavations be disinfected?

A new villa near open farms may need frequent disinfection, especially if insects enter from farmland. It may need treatment after each new farming season.

Do smells from Wadi Al Sharai silt need special treatment in Barakah?

Yes, wadi silt odours may enter villas through cracks and openings. Treating foundations and floor drains may be necessary in addition to general disinfection.

Does expressway dust mean disinfection will not last long in Barakah?

Expressway dust may return quickly on windows and surfaces, but this is different from living contaminants. Disinfection protects against living pollutants for a period, even if dust returns.

Is treating foundations and gaps below floor level important in new Barakah villas?

Yes very much, new villas may have small cracks in foundations and walls. Treating these areas stops insects and contaminants entering from farms and the wadi.

How much does disinfection in Barakah 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 Barakah.
