Why is professional AC cleaning important in Dubai homes and offices?

Dubai’s climate creates constant high humidity inside AC systems, which encourages microbial growth. Without proper cleaning, AC units can circulate contaminants throughout indoor spaces.

How is Saniservice different from standard AC cleaning companies in the UAE?

Most AC cleaners focus on visible dust. Saniservice follows a scientific indoor environmental remediation process that targets microbial sources, moisture behavior, and airflow contamination.

Is AC mould common in Dubai buildings?

Yes. Due to year-round AC use, high humidity, and sealed buildings, AC-related microbial growth is extremely common in Dubai residential and commercial properties.

Why does simple AC duct cleaning often fail to solve air quality issues?

Duct cleaning alone does not address coils, drain pans, humidity imbalance, or microbial reservoirs. Without correcting these, contamination quickly returns.

How does Saniservice assess whether an AC system is contaminated?

We begin with system inspection and risk assessment, examining moisture patterns, airflow paths, and areas prone to microbial growth rather than relying on visual assumptions.

Why is fogging not an effective AC disinfection method?

Fogging treats air temporarily but does not remove contamination from coils, drains, or surfaces where microbes grow. It masks symptoms without solving root causes.

Can bleach be used safely inside AC systems?

Bleach fails because it does not penetrate biofilms, can corrode components, and does not correct humidity conditions that allow regrowth.

How does humidity affect AC hygiene in the UAE climate?

Humidity is the primary driver of microbial growth. Without addressing moisture behavior inside the system, cleaning alone will not deliver lasting results.

What does “medical-grade AC disinfection” actually mean?

It refers to controlled cleaning and disinfection methods aligned with indoor environmental health standards, not perfumes or cosmetic sanitizers.

How does Saniservice verify that AC cleaning was effective?

Where required, we use pre- and post-intervention validation methods to confirm that contamination levels have been meaningfully reduced.

Is AC cleaning necessary even if there is no visible mould?

Yes. Microbial contamination often exists inside coils and drains long before visible signs appear, especially in Dubai’s climate.

How often should AC systems be cleaned in Dubai?

Frequency depends on usage, humidity levels, and building type, but most UAE properties require more frequent intervention than cooler climates.

Can poor AC hygiene affect health?

Contaminated AC systems can circulate microbial fragments and irritants that may worsen respiratory symptoms and indoor comfort.

Why does Saniservice sometimes clean less than other companies?

Our methodology focuses on correct intervention. We avoid unnecessary disturbance that can spread contamination or damage system components.

Is this service suitable for villas, apartments, and commercial buildings?

Yes. The same scientific principles apply across residential, commercial, and sensitive environments in the UAE.

How does Saniservice handle AC cleaning in occupied spaces?

We use controlled procedures designed to minimize disruption and prevent the spread of contaminants during cleaning.

What role does airflow play in AC contamination?

Improper airflow allows moisture and particles to settle, creating ideal conditions for microbial growth inside the system.

Can AC cleaning reduce recurring odours?

Yes, when odours are caused by microbial growth or trapped moisture, addressing the source eliminates the problem rather than masking it.

Why is source identification important before disinfection?

Disinfection without understanding the cause leads to recurrence. Our process identifies why contamination formed in the first place.

Who should consider Saniservice’s AC cleaning and disinfection service?

Clients in Dubai who prioritize verified indoor air quality, occupant health, and long-term building performance rather than superficial cleaning.

Is damp basement due to mold causing health issues?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rainfall last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in the basement of our new home, which has only gotten worse over the past few days. The walls feel wet to the touch, and there's an unusual musty smell that’s making my eyes water and giving me a headache. My kids have been complaining of coughing fits too. Could this be due to mold or some other contaminant? What steps should I take to ensure our home is safe for us all?

Yes, damp basements can indeed be a breeding ground for mold which could be causing your health issues. Mold thrives in environments that are wet and humid, especially after heavy rainfalls like what we experienced last month. The persistent dampness you're noticing coupled with the musty smell, watery eyes, headache, and kids' coughing fits are strong indicators that there might indeed be a mold issue.

In Dubai and the UAE, it's crucial to address such issues promptly due to our climate which can sometimes mimic the conditions perfect for mold growth. The high humidity levels and occasional heavy rains make basements particularly susceptible. UAE building regulations do require proper waterproofing measures but sometimes these can fail or become compromised over time.

Firstly, cease any activities that might disturb the area until you've had a professional inspection. Do not clean up visible mold yourself as this could spread it further. The presence of black, green, or white patches on walls and ceilings are common signs of mold growth.

For your safety, I'd recommend contacting professionals like Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or emailing hello@saniservice.com for a thorough assessment. They'll be able to identify the source of the moisture and assess any mold present. Remediation steps could include removing contaminated materials, cleaning affected areas, and implementing long-term solutions like dehumidifiers and better ventilation.

Remember, early detection and treatment are key in preventing health issues associated with mold exposure such as respiratory problems and allergies. Keep your home well-ventilated to reduce moisture levels and consider installing a sump pump or waterproofing your basement walls if necessary.

Act now to ensure the safety of your family!
