Building facade cleaning in Al-Jumum

Al-Jumum is a small town on the plateau between Makkah and Madinah, set amid irrigated farmland and scattered homes, so facades face constant moisture from the fields, algae bloom on shaded walls and water movement through the ground.

Why a facade needs regular cleaning

  • The surface is protected

    The wrong product costs more than the dirt it removes.

  • Access decided on site

    We do not pick the access method from an office.

  • Glass stays clear

    Calcium scale on glass turns into permanent etching if it is left.

  • The building keeps running

    We plan the access and the working hours around how the building is used through the day, and we protect the ground, the entrances and anyone passing below.

Why the job is different in Al-Jumum

Buildings here are widely spaced among farms so the north and east facing walls stay shaded and damp longer, and algae colonies establish themselves by mid-summer on most surfaces. The whole method is set out in the building facade cleaning overview.

  • Damp, algae and mould growth

    The irrigated fields all around keep groundwater levels high and the air humid, and shaded walls stay damp far longer than in arid areas. Algae and mould establish fast, so treatment must include anti-growth coating after washing to keep walls clean longer.

  • Water and salts from field irrigation

    The irrigation network around the town moves moisture and mineral salts through the soil toward building foundations. Walls closest to fields suffer from permanent damp patches and seasonal water ingress that appears and fades with the irrigation cycle.

  • Stone and concrete saturated with water

    Stone and concrete here carry more moisture than in arid regions, so drying after washing takes far longer and water trapped in cracks can freeze dangerously on cool nights. Each cycle of wetting and drying stresses the material more than in dry climates.

What's Included

Al-Jumum is surrounded by irrigated farmland watered by local springs, and the constant damp and field drainage keeps moisture levels permanently elevated around buildings.

  • Roof survey and anchor points

    Buildings here are scattered and rooflines vary in height and angle, so the roof survey maps the safest and most efficient access route for each one.

  • Access chosen: rope or powered

    Ropes suit most buildings but some may need a small powered lift because the soft ground around the farmland will not bear heavy equipment weight.

  • A test patch before the whole elevation

    Testing is essential because damp stone reacts differently to cleaners than dry stone does. We test on a hidden corner first to learn its behaviour.

  • Glass and curtain walling

    Glass here needs extra care because constant damp means condensation; we dry thoroughly and apply a water-shedding coating to keep it clearer longer.

  • Cladding and stone, pH-neutral

    Cladding and stone both take neutral products only, with anti-algae treatment applied after washing, especially on the shaded walls where growth is worst.

  • Ground and passers-by protected

    Ground and nearby farmland are protected by temporary coverings and by preventing runoff water from flowing toward the irrigated fields.

Landmarks of Al-Jumum

Access to facades here organises around the natural features: Mosque of Al-Fath in the town centre and Wadi Fatimah nearby define the gathering points and safe working directions.

What is different about Makkah Region

Makkah Region reaches from the Red Sea coast at Jeddah, Rabigh, Al Lith and Al Qunfudhah to the holy city in its valley and up to Taif on the Hijaz escarpment. Jeddah's corniche towers, glass offices and the coral stone houses of Al Balad live in humid, salt laden air that films glass and pits metal. Makkah's hotel towers and marble courtyards stand in dry heat with constant pilgrim traffic and dust, while Taif's stone villas get fog, rain and cold nights on Al Hada. Salt residue and damp are the main enemies of stone and glass here.

Questions before booking

Why do green patches appear on the shaded side of the wall?
The permanent shade and damp from surrounding fields create ideal conditions for algae to establish. It grows on stone and concrete surfaces and needs a targeted algaecide and anti-growth protection afterward.

Does field water damage facades over the long term?
Yes, constant damp and irrigation salts accumulate in stone pores and cause slow cracking. Regular cleaning and good drying intervals arrest this before it becomes structural damage.

How do north and east facing walls differ from south and west ones?
Shaded walls stay wet and grow algae. Sun exposed walls dry faster and need cleaning mainly to remove dust and occasional deposits.

Can algae be removed without damaging the stone?
Yes, we use a very gentle algaecide solution that does not scratch the stone. We allow it to work, then rinse thoroughly with clean water.

Does frequent cleaning help or create other problems?
Regular cleaning every four to six months stops algae buildup and protects the surface. Gentle rinsing and slow drying are the key to avoiding damage.

Should we improve drainage around the building foundation?
Yes, better ground drainage around the base cuts the rising damp significantly. This is outside our scope but we recommend it strongly for long term facade health.

How much does building facade cleaning in Al-Jumum cost?
It is set after we have seen the job, because the price follows the height of the building, the type and condition of the facade and the access it needs. Send a photo and a description on WhatsApp and we will give you an estimate before we reach Al-Jumum.
