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 water damage causing health issues in basement?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent heavy rains last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in the basement of our apartment. The walls feel unusually cold to touch, and there's even some mold growing near the pipes. My kids have been coughing more frequently, and my throat has started to hurt too. Could this be related to the water damage and poor ventilation?

Absolutely, the symptoms you've described could be linked to water damage and poor ventilation in your apartment's basement. Persistent dampness coupled with mold growth are strong indicators of potential health hazards. In Dubai, as well as other parts of the UAE, high humidity levels and occasional heavy rains can exacerbate these issues.

The cold feeling on the walls may point towards moisture seepage which is a common aftermath during rainy seasons or after flooding events. Mold growing near pipes also suggests that there's likely an ongoing water issue, possibly due to leaky plumbing or insufficient drainage systems. This could lead to not only discomfort but also serious health concerns for your family.

Given the symptoms you've mentioned – increased coughing in kids and sore throat in adults – it’s crucial to have a professional inspection as soon as possible. In Dubai, regulations regarding building inspections are stringent, especially concerning moisture intrusion and mold growth. The UAE Building Code (UAE-BC) mandates that buildings be inspected regularly for safety and environmental compliance.

I would recommend reaching out to Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for an immediate assessment. They specialize in such cases and can provide a detailed report on the extent of damage, including necessary remediation steps to ensure your family’s health is not compromised further.

In the meantime, try to reduce moisture levels by ensuring proper ventilation. Open windows if possible, use dehumidifiers, or install fans to circulate air. Avoid using carpeting in damp areas and replace any that's already been affected. Keeping surfaces clean and dry can help prevent mold from spreading and growing.

Remember, prompt action is key when dealing with water damage and mold issues, especially during the rainy season in Dubai where such occurrences are more common. Your health and your family’s well-being should be a priority!
