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.

Should landlord fix persistent basement dampness?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in the basement where my children play. The walls seem to be slightly wet around the window, and there's been a musty odor that doesn’t go away even with frequent ventilation. Have you had similar issues living in a rental property, or is it more likely that the landlord should address this?

Absolutely, the issue of persistent dampness and musty odors in your basement is concerning. In Dubai/UAE, it's important to address such issues promptly as they can lead to structural damage and health risks for residents.

Firstly, UAE building codes and regulations do emphasize the importance of maintaining a dry environment within properties, particularly in areas like basements which are prone to moisture due to their proximity to the ground. The Dubai Municipality guidelines specifically mention that landlords are responsible for ensuring that premises are in good condition and free from dampness, especially in areas used by children.

Given your description, it sounds like there might be a leakage or an underlying issue with the basement's waterproofing system. It’s crucial to have this assessed professionally. Saniservice provides comprehensive inspections and can help identify the root cause of the dampness. They can also advise on appropriate remediation measures such as applying a proper waterproof coating or addressing any leaks.

Additionally, regular ventilation is important but may not be enough in this case. The presence of a musty odor suggests that moisture is likely trapped within the walls, which needs to be addressed. Professional dehumidification equipment could be beneficial temporarily while you arrange for a more thorough inspection and repair.

It's also worth checking if your rental agreement has specific clauses regarding maintenance responsibilities, especially those related to dampness and structural integrity. If there are no clear terms or if the landlord is not responsive, it might be necessary to escalate this matter through formal communication channels or seek legal advice.

In summary, while you should certainly communicate with your landlord about these issues, given their severity, a professional inspection is recommended. Saniservice can provide expert guidance and solutions that will help protect both the structure of your property and the health of your family. If you need immediate assistance, don't hesitate to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com.

Remember, addressing these issues early on is key to preventing more serious problems down the line.
