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 my basement normal?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in the basement, especially around the corner near the window. The walls feel unusually cold to touch, and there's even a small puddle forming by the door. Is this normal for a home this age, or could it be a sign of more serious issues like a maintenance deep problem?

Dampness in your basement is something that definitely warrants attention, especially given the recent heavy rains. While some moisture can be expected due to Dubai's weather conditions, persistent dampness and cold spots are often indicators of more serious issues.

In the UAE, particularly in areas like Dubai, it’s important to stay vigilant about indoor environmental quality. The walls feeling unusually cold could suggest water leakage or condensation issues. A small puddle by your basement door is a clear sign that something isn't right. In some cases, this might be due to poor drainage systems, structural damage, or even more serious problems like leaking pipes or a failing waterproofing membrane.

Given the UAE's regulations and the specifics of building construction in Dubai, it’s highly recommended that you seek professional advice. Our company, Saniservice, can provide expert inspections to determine the exact cause of the dampness and recommend appropriate solutions. We operate under the guidelines set by the Building Control Department of Dubai and adhere strictly to local standards.

If you're not sure what's causing the dampness or if it could be a bigger issue, don’t hesitate to give us a call at 800-MOLDS (or email hello@saniservice.com) for a consultation. Early intervention can prevent further damage to your property and ensure that any issues are resolved before they become more serious.

Remember, dealing with dampness not only affects the structural integrity of your home but also impacts its overall healthiness—especially considering the high humidity levels in Dubai. Keeping your indoor environment dry is crucial for maintaining a healthy living space.

Take care and stay dry!
