Preventive treatment in Al Shuruq Jeddah

Al Shuruq is an emerging district east of the Haramain Road between Al Wahah and Al Tawfiq, a mix of apartment buildings, villas and street level shops on Palestine Road. Ongoing construction around the district, elevated groundwater and incomplete drainage networks keep soil constantly damp. The programme reads construction pressure and new moisture from wadis and vacant plots around the district.

Why they keep coming back in Al Shuruq

Vacant plots and continuous building sites around the district shelter rodents and insects before they move into newly built homes. The method is set out in full on Preventive treatment in detail.

The first reason

Ongoing construction and new subdivisions shelter rodents

Around Al Shuruq new residential subdivisions and vacant land under excavation are everywhere. Excavation supplies water and soil supplies shelter for rats and mice. New buildings attract rodents searching for water, and when they are complete rodents move into occupied homes. Pressure increases every year with every new building phase.

The second reason

Groundwater and incomplete drainage in the new districts

Drainage networks are not yet complete in Al Shuruq and groundwater runs very high. Soil around foundations is constantly damp, creating ideal conditions for insects and rodents. Foundation cracks widen as water seeps through, opening new routes every year.

The third reason

New cracks from unsettled soil and moisture

New buildings on weak damp soil settle fast and open new cracks. Water seeps from foundations and into internal walls. New cracks appear in almost every season and need continuous preventive sealing.

The character of Al Shuruq

Mixed district: shops at street level with homes above them

In an emerging district, a new home is surrounded by high pressure from construction, moisture and unsettled soil. The programme reads new cracks at every visit and seasonal pressure from wadis. Sealing and monitoring are intensive because the foundation is still settling and construction is ongoing.

Before treatment

What a preventive visit reads

A district east of the Haramain Road between Al Wahah and Al Tawfiq, crossed by Palestine Road and bounded by King Abdullah Branch Road to the south, with new subdivisions next to Al Nakhil.

The base of an exterior wall where the building meets the ground

The base of the outside wall

The outside wall base in a new house cracks fast from soil settlement. The external band must cover new cracks continuously.

An exterior door threshold and the gap beneath it

Gaps and openings

Gaps and openings are numerous in new buildings. New doors and windows may not seal tightly and beneath-floor openings may be wide.

An outdoor air conditioning unit with a condensate pipe on the wall

Air conditioning condensate

Air conditioning drainage in the new house adds moisture around the settling foundation. Water may pool on the damp soil surface and against the foundation.

Floor drains

Floor drains may break in the new house from fast settlement. Water pools beneath the floor and opens routes for insects.

A drip irrigation line in damp soil beside planting

Irrigation against the wall

Irrigation against the wall may be too close in the new house. Extra water increases moisture around weak foundations.

The monitoring points

We place monitoring points at the east and north wall bases where moisture collects most, and at new cracks at every visit.

How we work

1
The baseline survey

We walk the outside boundary and then the inside: gaps under doors, pipe runs, vents, condensate lines, drains, the bin area and the store, and we fix the monitoring points before anything is applied.
2
Close the routes

Mesh on the vents, the gap under the door dealt with, the sleeve around a pipe run closed, and water put back into the drain nobody uses. Exclusion saves a spray that would otherwise repeat forever.
3
The band and the placed product

A residual band at the base of the wall outside and around door and window openings, with placed product inside joints and closed voids where it is warranted, and no open spray across living surfaces.
4
The scheduled visit: read, renew, record

We read the points to see which side is under pressure, renew the band where sun or irrigation has taken it, aim the visit at what the coming season opens up, and write down what was found and what was used.

What the preventive programme includes

A survey, then a check every visit

Entry points, moisture sources and storage, recorded before anything is applied and revisited each time.
Monitoring points that get read

At the wall and floor junction, under sinks and in the store, checked on every visit rather than only the last one.
A renewed exterior band

At the wall base and around the openings, put back wherever sun or irrigation took it between visits.
Drains, water lines and waste

The water seal in the drains, the condensate line and the ground around the bins, which are the standing water and food sources.
Between the visits

What to keep dry, what to keep closed, and what is worth a call before the next date. Ventilation we tell you before the visit.
A scheduled visit and a record of each

An agreed date, what the points held, what was treated, and what changed since last time.

Landmarks of Al Shuruq

Al Shuruq is served by Palestine Road and King Abdullah Branch Road, which separate your home from Al Wahah and Al Tawfiq to the south. With new subdivisions next to Al Nakhil, we reach you from the nearest entrance and monitor construction pressure and moisture from seasonal wadis.

Questions about this district

The house is new and the district is still building. How often does preventive treatment visit?

New homes surrounded by building sites face very high pressure. Visits are much closer in the first and second years, until building completes around the district and soil settles.

The foundation has a few small cracks. Is that normal in a new house?

Yes, new buildings on damp soil settle fast and crack. Preventive treatment monitors new cracks at every visit and seals them before they become insect routes.

Land around my house is empty and building continues. Do I need preventive treatment?

Yes, you are surrounded by building sites. Mice and cockroaches live in the excavations and soil and search for water in new homes. Preventive treatment is essential here and pressure will fall when building completes.

Groundwater is very high in my area. Does that affect the programme?

Yes, high groundwater keeps soil constantly damp. We raise monitoring points at the water line and seal cracks with water resistant silicone.

My neighbour's old house has lower pressure. Why is mine higher?

A new house on damp soil has a new unsettled foundation. The old one settled years ago. Pressure will fall when soil settles and building ends.

I heard seasonal wadis run close to the district. Do they affect it?

Yes, seasonal wadis supply water and routes for rodents. The programme monitors seasonal pressure and strengthens protection before the rain season.

How much does preventive treatment in Al Shuruq 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 Shuruq.
