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 new home basement due to mold?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rainfall last month, I noticed a peculiar dampness in the basement of our new home. The walls seem slightly stained and there's a musty smell that lingers even after thorough airing out. My family has been complaining about minor respiratory issues too, which made me wonder if we're dealing with mold or something similar. Has anyone else experienced this in Dubai, and what’s the best approach to address it?

Yes, dampness in your new home's basement can indeed be due to mold. Mold growth is common following heavy rainfall and it can cause several issues including unpleasant odors, staining on walls, and respiratory problems – exactly what you're experiencing now.

In the UAE, especially during our summer months, humidity levels are high which can contribute to moisture build-up in basements. This coupled with any external water intrusion can lead to mold development. You should definitely check for signs of moisture such as peeling paint, dark spots on walls or ceilings, and a musty smell.

In Dubai, there's no specific regulation that mandates the removal of mold but it is crucial for your health and comfort. Mold exposure can irritate the eyes, nose, and throat; worsen asthma symptoms; and trigger allergic reactions. For a thorough inspection and to ensure effective remediation, I highly recommend reaching out to professional service providers like Saniservice. They specialize in indoor environmental quality assessments and mold remediation.

Saniservice can assess your situation with their expertise and provide the necessary solutions, which may include cleaning, drying, or even structural repairs if needed. Contact them at 800-MOLDS (66537) or send an email to hello@saniservice.com for immediate assistance. Remember, early detection is key in managing mold issues effectively.

Please don’t delay seeking professional help as improper cleanup can spread spores and make the situation worse. Keeping your home well-ventilated and addressing any water leaks promptly are also important steps you should take while waiting for professionals to arrive.
