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 poor drainage causing basement dampness?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in the basement of our villa, especially near the corner by the storage room. The walls seem slightly discolored and there are small patches of mold growing. Is this something that could be related to poor drainage or might need more extensive waterproofing?

Is poor drainage causing basement dampness?

Well, it sounds like the rain might have left some unwanted guests behind. Persistent dampness and mold growth is definitely a concern, especially near storage areas where things can get a bit musty. In Dubai/UAE, we've seen similar issues due to heavy rains affecting the region.

First off, poor drainage could be a culprit here. After all, if water isn't properly directed away from your villa's foundation, it might seep into your basement causing those pesky moisture problems. But that’s not the only possibility; you should also consider other factors like the integrity of your building envelope, which in this case would include your walls and floors.

In Dubai, we adhere to specific regulations for ensuring indoor environmental quality. The UAE Building Code (EN 1991-1-3) and the UAE Construction Industry Regulations (CIR) are crucial guidelines that ensure buildings are safe from water infiltration and mold growth. Given the climate here, it's important to maintain compliance with these standards.

I'd recommend having a professional inspection done if you haven't already. A certified environmental inspector can assess the situation thoroughly, determine the exact cause of the dampness, and provide a detailed remediation plan. They'll check for issues like cracks in your basement walls or floors that might allow water to penetrate. For serious cases, call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com.

In the meantime, you can try some simple steps to mitigate the problem:
• Ensure proper ventilation in the area.
• Remove any standing water and clean up mold growth carefully (use gloves and a respirator).
• Place dehumidifiers if your villa has adequate power supply.

Remember, addressing these issues early is key to avoiding bigger problems down the line. The UAE's climate can be quite challenging when it comes to maintaining indoor environments, so staying proactive is important for keeping your home safe and healthy.
