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 I report potential structural damage?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain last month, I noticed a bit of water seepage from the ceiling above our living room. The rental agreement mentions that maintenance is handled by the landlord, but this seems like something more serious than usual. Should I be concerned about potential structural damage or should I report it to the landlord immediately?

Absolutely, it's wise to act promptly. Water seepage from the ceiling can indeed be a serious matter, especially if you're seeing it after heavy rainfall, as was the case for you recently. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, we have specific building codes and regulations that landlords must follow to ensure structural integrity of buildings. According to the Building Control Regulations 2014, any potential damage from water infiltration needs immediate attention to prevent further deterioration.

Firstly, you should definitely report this issue to your landlord as per the terms of your rental agreement. However, given the severity and recentness of the seepage, I'd also advise seeking a professional inspection. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice offer comprehensive inspections which can help identify any underlying structural issues that might not be immediately visible.

Now, why should you go beyond just reporting it to your landlord? Well, in my experience dealing with these situations, it's often better to have an independent expert verify the condition of the building. This ensures objectivity and helps avoid disputes later on. For instance, Saniservice can conduct a thorough assessment that might uncover issues not immediately apparent or potentially more serious than what you've observed.

If you decide to go this route, you could call 800-MOLDS (or email hello@saniservice.com) for an appointment with their team of experts. They have the necessary tools and expertise to diagnose any potential structural damage accurately. Early intervention is key in such cases as it can prevent minor issues from becoming major problems down the line.

Remember, water damage can lead to not only cosmetic issues but also serious structural problems that could pose safety risks. By acting quickly and seeking professional advice, you're doing your part to ensure a safe living environment for yourself and any occupants of the building.

So, yes, take this matter seriously and don't hesitate to take action now.
