House maintenance while on vacation

If you are planning vacation leave for the summer, here are a few simple tips to keep your house in good order and protect your valuables while you are away:

  • To help stop leaks – Shut off the water valves, toilet hoses and flexible hoses underneath your kitchen and bathroom sinks.
  • To avoid condensation and the formation of mold – Leave the air conditioner on auto and set it to 27C (80.6F).
  • To prevent flooding –  Ensure that all floor drains are uncovered.
  • To avoid condensation – Make certain that all doors and windows are closed.
  • Lock and secure the roof access.
  • Make arrangements for the upkeep of your backyard (as required by Clause 14 of the Housing Agreement) – by calling 959, gardening at 808 5480, or by e-mail gardening@kaust.edu.sa.

For any clarification, please contact Housing at 808 6555, or by email housing@kaust.edu.sa. You can also contact Maintenance via the KAUST Helpdesk by dialing 959.

Please remember, protecting your possessions and your rented unit is your responsibility and your cooperation is highly appreciated.
