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 persistent basement dampness urgent?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in our basement, which has really intensified over the past week. The air feels heavy and there's even a bit of mold growing on one of the walls. Given how long we’ve been here and this sudden change, is it urgent that we address this issue?

Yes, persistent basement dampness is indeed urgent. In the UAE, especially in Dubai where we experience varying humidity levels and occasional rainfall, such conditions can pose serious risks to both your health and property. The heavy air you're feeling and the mold growing on a wall are clear signs that something needs immediate attention.

In the UAE, according to the Building Control Regulations (Law No. 20 of 1986), buildings must be designed, constructed, and maintained in a way that ensures occupant safety and comfort. Dampness can lead to structural damage over time, affecting the integrity of your home or business premises. Moreover, it's important to consider the health implications. Mold growth not only spoils aesthetics but also releases spores into the air which can cause respiratory issues, especially for individuals with allergies or asthma.

Given how long you've been in this area and the recent intensification of dampness, I strongly recommend calling 800-MOLDS (or 800-66537) or emailing hello@saniservice.com to arrange a professional inspection. These services are experienced in handling UAE-specific environmental issues and can provide you with a thorough assessment.

In the meantime, here are some immediate steps you can take:

1. Ventilate: Open windows when possible to improve air circulation.
2. Dry Out: Use dehumidifiers or fans to reduce moisture levels.
3. Clean Up: Wipe down surfaces and remove any visible mold with a solution of water and bleach (or a commercial cleaner) followed by thorough drying.

Remember, addressing dampness early can prevent larger problems later on. Don't wait for the issue to worsen—act now to protect your home and ensure a healthy living environment.
