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.

How much does a basement moisture inspection typically cost?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a strange damp smell lingering in the basement of my apartment. It's starting to get quite uncomfortable down there, especially when we use the laundry room which is also affected. I'm considering whether it might be worth hiring an expert to check for any moisture issues that could affect indoor air quality, but I’m not sure about the costs involved. How much can this typically cost and should I really worry?

Hey! Indoor air quality issues are quite common post-rain events like the one we had last month. The damp smell you're noticing could be a sign of moisture issues that can indeed affect your indoor air and overall comfort. In Dubai, it’s crucial to address these concerns as they can lead to mold growth which is regulated by the Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi (EAD) in terms of health and safety.

Typically, a professional inspection for basement moisture could range from AED 200 to AED 1500 depending on several factors. These include the size of your apartment, how thorough you want the inspection to be, and the expertise of the service provider. Some firms might offer a basic assessment which is less expensive but may not cover all areas such as walls, floors, and ceilings.

It's wise to invest in a comprehensive inspection if the dampness persists or if you notice any visible signs like mold growth. A professional will use moisture meters, thermal imaging cameras, and other tools to identify hidden water sources and assess overall conditions. This can help prevent bigger issues down the line that could cost more to fix.

Given your situation, it’s a good idea to reach out for an expert opinion. At Saniservice, we've had numerous clients who have benefited from our moisture inspections which start at AED 300 for a basic assessment and go up to AED 1500 for a detailed one. Our team will provide you with a thorough evaluation and recommendations on how to proceed.

If you do decide to go ahead, please consider the following:
• Check if the company has certifications or memberships in relevant organizations.
• Ask for references from previous clients.
• Ensure they offer a written report detailing findings and suggested actions.

Remember, early intervention can save you both time and money. Don’t hesitate to contact us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com if you need more information or assistance. Stay dry!
