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 basement dampness linked to kids' coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rainstorm we had last month, I noticed a faint dampness in our basement. The walls seemed slightly moist, and it’s been particularly humid down there ever since. My kids have been complaining of coughing and congestion more often lately too. Could this be related to some issues with duct sealing?

Yes, basement dampness can indeed be linked to your kids' coughs. The situation you described sounds very much like a common issue in the UAE, especially after heavy rainstorms. Moisture in the air and walls of your basement can lead to mold growth which is a known trigger for respiratory issues such as coughing, congestion, and other allergic reactions among children.

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, humidity levels are high even under normal conditions. Following a heavy rainfall like the one you experienced last month, it's not uncommon to see an increase in dampness and mold growth. This can create a breeding ground for allergens that may be triggering your kids' symptoms.

It’s important to address this issue promptly. Mold spores can spread through air conditioning systems or ventilation ducts if they are poorly sealed. This means the moisture from the basement could potentially reach other parts of your home, spreading dampness and mold issues further.

I would recommend calling a professional environmental inspection and remediation company like ours at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or emailing us at hello@saniservice.com. We can conduct a thorough assessment of your basement and air ducts to identify any sealing issues that might be contributing to the dampness.

Here are some practical steps you can take in the meantime:

1. Improve Ventilation: Increase airflow by opening windows when weather permits, using exhaust fans, or dehumidifiers.
2. Dry Out Moisture Sources: Use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe down any visible moisture. Ensure that wet areas dry out fully before they become breeding grounds for mold.
3. Seal Ducts and Air Leaks: Check your ductwork for any gaps or cracks where air might be leaking. Proper sealing can help reduce the spread of dampness and airborne allergens.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for a healthy living environment, especially with young children around. Don't hesitate to seek professional advice if you notice ongoing issues or worsening conditions in your home.

Call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email us at hello@saniservice.com to book an inspection and get peace of mind for your family's well-being.
