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 in basement due to mold a common issue?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy storms last month, I noticed a strange dampness in the basement of our villa. The corners of the floor and some parts of the walls started to look a bit moldy. It’s been getting worse over the past few days despite our efforts to keep it dry. Has anyone else experienced something similar or have any advice on how to deal with this?

Yes, dampness and mold growth in basements is quite common here in the UAE, especially after heavy rains like the ones we've experienced recently. In Dubai and other parts of the Emirates, it's not uncommon to find moisture issues due to the climate and sometimes poor construction practices.

Mold can grow pretty quickly under wet conditions and can start to appear as black or green spots on walls and floors. It thrives in humid environments where there’s a lack of proper ventilation or drainage systems. Given that your villa has experienced some dampness and mold growth, it's important to take action now to prevent further damage.

Firstly, ensure the area is completely dry before attempting any cleaning. You might need to use dehumidifiers or fans to speed up the drying process. If you're not comfortable doing this yourself, consider calling in a professional for an inspection and remediation service. The UAE has specific building codes regarding indoor air quality and mold, so it's wise to ensure your property is compliant.

We recommend that you reach out to us at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a thorough assessment and treatment plan. Our team of experts can help identify the source of moisture and provide solutions tailored specifically for Dubai’s climate conditions. Remember, ignoring mold growth could lead to serious health issues and structural damage over time.

Take proactive steps now to address the issue before it worsens. Regular checks for dampness or mold, especially after weather events, are a good practice in our region. If you need any further advice on how to proceed, feel free to contact us.
