Disinfection in Harat Al Bab Al Jadid Makkah

Harat Al Bab Al Jadid is a new Crown Prince development south of the city on the Al Laith road, granted plots and new villas with many still under construction, scattered among vacant land and building sites. Construction brings continuous dust, deep foundation pits and water pooling after rain. Disinfection in a neighbourhood under construction is not the same as in a complete one: deep foundations pull moisture from the ground, vacant plots nearby shelter rodents and reptiles, and open trenches collect rainwater.

Why they keep coming back in Harat Al Bab Al Jadid

New villas in Al Bab Al Jadid contain newly installed drainage, water heating and air conditioning systems that have not yet weathered a full hot and humid season. The method is set out in full on Disinfection in detail.

The first reason

Deep foundations pull groundwater upward

New villas are built on deep foundations. The site sits on Wadi Uranah, which holds water after rain. Moisture rises from the ground through the foundation and into the lower floors. This means disinfectant will fail unless we dry and ventilate first to stop the source.

The second reason

Vacant plots and open building sites invite pests

Vacant land and open foundation pits between the new villas are ideal habitat for rodents, reptiles and scorpions. They shelter in stacked materials and foundation excavations. Disinfection alone is not enough: a full inspection for pest entry points must come first.

The third reason

New systems have not survived a full season

New air conditioning units and drainage lines have not yet been tested through a full hot and humid season. Drains may not be properly sealed, air conditioners may not remove enough condensation. New villas need careful inspection before disinfection can work.

Before treatment

What we look at before the product is chosen

Crown Prince scheme two in the south of the city, granted plots and new villas with many still under construction, on the Al Laith road, with the south western Haram boundary marker and new neighbourhood mosques.

The touch points

Touch points in new villas are phones, counters, railings and handles. Most new homes feature gleaming metalwork that streaks if wiped immediately after disinfection.

Porous surfaces

Porous surfaces in new villas are concrete floors, new paint and timber. Some are moisture-sensitive, so we wait for drying rather than wiping immediately after application.

The finish itself

The finish in new villas is often upmarket: marble, hotel-grade timber, imported paints. We choose disinfectants that do not harm these materials and avoid vigorous wiping.

The air conditioning unit

New villa air conditioning units have not yet weathered a full season. They may contain factory dust and assembly grease. We inspect the filter, coil and drainage carefully.

Floor traps

New drainage systems are sound but may contain construction dust in the pipes. We treat drains and traps with a specialised product to prevent future blockage.

Shared entrances and stairs

Entrances, windows and doors in newly built homes may contain construction dust and insects. These openings receive careful attention before everything else.

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 South Makkah Sub-Municipality

South Makkah sub municipality is the belt of Crown Prince schemes south of Al Ukayshiyah, along the Al Laith road and the extension of Ibrahim Al Khalil Road to the Fifth Ring Road and the Non Muslims bypass. Most of it is still bare: granted plots awaiting houses, new villas standing alone, open building sites and unfinished paving and drainage. Wadi Uranah and its tributaries cross the low ground and hold water after rain, hills close it in, and rodents, reptiles and scorpions shelter in stacked materials and foundation pits before the neighbourhoods fill up.

Questions about this district

Is it worth disinfecting a villa that is still under construction?

Temporarily, yes. But construction around the villa brings new contamination daily. We recommend delaying full disinfection until construction in the neighbourhood or at least on that villa is complete and doors are sealed.

Does groundwater moisture affect how disinfection works?

Greatly. If walls and floors are damp from moisture rising from below, the disinfectant cannot reach the surface properly. We check moisture first, dry if needed, and may need special drying equipment.

Do vacant plots next to the villa affect its safety?

Yes. Vacant land harbours rodents and reptiles that may enter the villa. Disinfection kills germs but does not seal entry points. Inspection of the foundation, pipes, windows and openings is essential.

Should a new villa be disinfected before moving in?

Absolutely. Villas spend weeks on a construction site before occupation. Dust, dirt and germs accumulate in pipes, air conditioning units and corners. Full disinfection before moving in is essential.

Does a brand new air conditioning unit need special inspection?

Yes. New units may contain factory dust and assembly grease. We inspect the filter, coil and drain before disinfection to ensure pipes are not clogged later.

Are newly built villas safe from scorpions and snakes?

Completed villas are relatively safe. Villas still under construction are not, and vacant plots are too close. We inspect foundations, windows, pipes and openings. Disinfection does not prevent snakes, but thorough inspection helps.

How much does disinfection in Harat Al Bab Al Jadid 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 Harat Al Bab Al Jadid.
