What counts
What counts as anemergency?
An emergency is a fault that is getting worse by the minute, puts someone at risk, or leaves the home unsecured or unlivable. A pipe that cannot be stopped, a board that smells of burning and a failed AC in summer heat all qualify. A dripping tap does not.
The test is simple: can this wait until morning without harm? If yes, make the home safe and book it as a normal visit. If no, follow the first-minutes steps below and call the 24/7 line.
One limit matters from the start. Benaa Home Care covers faults inside your property. A power cut that affects the whole street, or a sewer blocked outside your boundary, belongs to the public network, and the utility has its own emergency line for it.
Examples
Which faults are emergencies,and which can wait?
Six situations that are urgent in a home, and why. A dripping tap, a slow drain, one dead light or a noisy AC unit are real faults, but they can wait for a daytime visit.
Water you cannot stop
A burst pipe, a failed valve or a cistern that will not stop filling. Water reaches floors, ceilings and wiring quickly.
Power lost inside the home
No power in your home while the neighbours still have it, or a breaker that trips again and again.
A burning smell or a hot socket
Warmth, discolouration or a burning smell at a socket, switch or board is a warning sign. Switch off the circuit only if you can do it safely, and keep everyone clear.
AC failure in summer heat
In Bahrain's summer a home with no cooling is a health risk for babies, older people and anyone unwell.
Sewage backing up
Dirty water rising in a WC, shower or floor drain is a hygiene risk. Stop using every fitting that drains to it.
A door that will not lock
A failed door, hinge or lock leaves the home open, above all at night or while you are away.
First minutes
What should you do in thefirst few minutes?
On-site times are counted in hours, so the first minutes are yours. These steps keep the damage small until the technician arrives.
Keep people clear
Move everyone, children and pets included, away from the fault. If there is smoke, fire, an injury or a smell of gas, leave the home and call the emergency services first. Benaa's line is for repairs, not rescue.
Isolate the water at the valve
Close the isolation valve nearest the leak, usually under the sink or behind the WC. If you cannot find it or it will not close, shut the main valve for the home. Turn it by hand and do not force it with tools.
Make the electrics safe
Do not touch a wet socket, switch, cable or appliance. If the board is dry and you can reach it without standing in water, switch off the affected circuit or the main breaker. If you cannot do that safely, stay clear and tell us when you call.
Contain it and take photos
Use towels and buckets to slow the spread, and lift valuables and rugs off the floor. Take a few photos of the fault and the damage for your records.
Call the 24/7 line
Call the line instead of waiting for office hours. Say what happened, what you have already closed or switched off, and where in the home the fault is.
What the line includes
What does the 24/7 emergencyline include?
A line answered day and night, every day of the year, on every Home Care package. It is one number for four trades: air conditioning, electrical, plumbing and carpentry.
Your package sets two things. The first is how fast we are on site: within 8 hours on Apartment, 6 hours on Villa Essential and 4 hours on Villa Plus and Villa Premium. The second is how many callouts are covered each year: 4, 5, 6 or 8, from Apartment to Villa Premium.
Labour on each callout is covered. Once your callouts are used, an extra one is BD 18 plus VAT. A part is the only other cost: it is quoted in writing before anything is ordered, with 10% off for contract holders.
A fault inside a wall or slab is concealed work. It is outside the annual fee and quoted for your approval, even when it looks urgent.

When you call
What happens when youcall the line?
Tell us what happened
Say what the fault is, where it is in the home and what you have already closed or switched off. A short message and a photo help.
Your package sets the pace
It decides how quickly a technician is on site, from 8 hours down to 4.
The technician diagnoses on site
The fault is found and confirmed at your home. If it is inside a wall or slab, we explain that it is concealed work and quote it separately.

A written report follows, covering the work done, the checks made and anything that needs watching.
Without a contract
What if you do not havea Home Care contract?
The 24/7 line, with set response times, is part of the annual contract. Without one, a one-off repair is quoted per job: message us on WhatsApp with a short description and a photo.
If emergencies are what worry you, a contract is easiest to take out before the fault. The survey is free: we count your AC units, confirm the package, and you commit to nothing until you have seen the price in writing. Water faults have their own page: plumbing maintenance in Bahrain.
Questions
Commonquestions.
What counts as an emergency home maintenance call?
A fault that is getting worse quickly, puts someone at risk or leaves the home unsecured: a burst pipe, no power inside the home, a burning smell at a socket, a failed AC in summer heat, sewage backing up or a door that will not lock. If it can wait until morning, book it as a normal visit.
Is there a 24/7 emergency home maintenance service in Bahrain?
Yes. An emergency line answered 24/7, every day of the year, is part of every Benaa Home Care package for villas and apartments in Bahrain. It covers labour for air conditioning, electrical, plumbing and carpentry faults, from BD 95 a year plus VAT.
How long until someone is on site?
Your package decides: within 8 hours on Apartment, 6 hours on Villa Essential, and 4 hours on Villa Plus and Villa Premium. That window is measured in hours, so isolate the water or switch off the affected circuit first, if it is safe to do so.
How many emergency callouts are included each year?
The package sets it: 4 callouts a year on Apartment, 5 on Villa Essential, 6 on Villa Plus and 8 on Villa Premium, with labour covered on each. Once they are used, an extra callout is BD 18 plus VAT. Planned AC services are separate.
Are parts included in an emergency repair?
Not in the fee. Labour is covered, while a part such as a pump, a valve or a breaker is priced separately. You see a written quote and approve it before anything is ordered, the 10% contract-holder discount applies, and the invoice carries nothing you have not approved.
Do you cover power or water cuts from the utility?
No. EWA meters, septic tanks, the main sewer and faults on the public network are outside the contract. If your neighbours are affected too, call the utility's own emergency line. We cover faults inside your property, such as a failed circuit in your board or a leak on exposed pipework.
What should I do while I wait for the technician?
Keep people clear, close the isolation valve nearest a leak or the main valve, and switch off the affected circuit only if the board is dry and you can reach it safely. Never touch wet electrics. For smoke, fire, injury or a gas smell, leave and call the emergency services first.
Can I use the emergency line without a Home Care contract?
The 24/7 line with set response times comes with the annual contract. Without one, one-off repairs are quoted per job: message us on WhatsApp with a short description and a photo. The free survey shows which package suits your home.
