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 dampness after rain normal in basements?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain last month, I noticed a strange dampness in the basement area of our villa, which we’ve lived in for two years. It's concerning because there’s no obvious leak or water source that I can see, yet the floor feels quite humid to walk on. Has anyone else experienced similar issues with mold growth after heavy rains? What cleaning rules should I follow to address this problem effectively and prevent further damage?

Is dampness after rain normal in basements?

Dampness in the basement area can indeed be quite common especially following heavy rains. In places like Dubai and the UAE, where climatic conditions vary significantly throughout the year, it’s not unusual to experience some degree of moisture due to humidity or even occasional rainfall. However, if you've noticed persistent dampness that seems out of place - particularly in a well-sealed area such as your basement - this could indicate an underlying issue.

It's important to note that while minor dampness can be managed, consistent and unexplained moisture may signify water intrusion or other structural problems. In the UAE context, there have been instances where basements experience unexpected issues due to poor construction practices or inadequate drainage systems.

Given your situation, it would be wise to schedule a professional inspection by calling 800-MOLDS (or 800-66537) or emailing hello@saniservice.com. They will have the expertise and tools necessary to identify whether there's an issue with your basement’s waterproofing or if there are underlying causes such as plumbing leaks, cracks in concrete, or even issues related to the local soil composition.

When addressing dampness, you should follow these basic steps:

1. Inspect Visually: Look for any signs of water stains, mold growth, or structural damage.
2. Dry Out Quickly: Use dehumidifiers or fans to dry out the area as soon as possible to prevent mold and mildew from developing.
3. Ventilate Properly: Ensure good ventilation in your basement by opening windows if possible or installing exhaust fans to reduce humidity levels.
4. Seal Any Cracks: Address any visible cracks in walls or floors that could be allowing water ingress using appropriate sealants recommended for basements.

Remember, dealing with moisture issues requires a proactive approach. Regular maintenance and inspections can help prevent more serious problems from developing over time. Don't hesitate to seek professional advice if the situation persists or worsens.
