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.

Are landlords responsible for duct moisture checks?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness coming from the ceiling above my bedroom. It’s concerning because it feels like there might be water seeping in, but the landlord insists he checked and everything is fine. The other day, I also saw some discoloration on the walls near the air vents. Could this be related to issues with the ducts? Are landlords typically responsible for checking the ducts for moisture damage or should it be my concern as a tenant?

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, landlords do have certain responsibilities regarding the maintenance and inspection of properties. However, it can sometimes be a bit ambiguous on who is responsible for checking specific components like ducts for moisture damage.

Typically, landlords are expected to ensure that the property is in good condition upon tenancy start and during regular inspections. This includes checking for structural issues such as leaks or water penetration. Yet, the specifics of duct inspection can vary based on local laws and agreements within leases. In practice, it's common for tenants to first notify their landlord about any concerns they notice, like the dampness in your ceiling and the discoloration near air vents.

It’s prudent to keep detailed records of these observations and communicate them directly with the landlord. If there is no immediate resolution or if you believe that the issue needs urgent attention, consulting a professional building inspector could be advisable. In Dubai, services such as MOLDS inspection can provide detailed reports on moisture levels in your ductwork.

Moreover, given the recent heavy rains in the region, it’s not uncommon for properties to experience unexpected water ingress issues. Ensuring proper ventilation and dehumidification systems are in place can mitigate some of these risks. For instance, running a dehumidifier during humid periods can help prevent mold growth.

Remember, while landlords have an obligation to maintain their property, tenants also play a crucial role in identifying potential issues early on. If you're still uncertain about your responsibilities or those of the landlord, it might be wise to review your lease agreement closely.
