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.

Should dampness in basement be a concern?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain last month, I noticed a strange dampness in the basement where my children's room is located. The walls seem to be slightly damp, and there’s an occasional musty smell that lingers even after opening all the windows. I’m not sure if it’s something the landlord should address or if we need to do anything on our end. Should I bring this up with them, or could it potentially be a bigger issue?

Absolutely, dampness in your basement should be a concern. In the UAE and specifically Dubai, it's common to experience some level of humidity due to the climate and the frequent construction practices that can sometimes lead to moisture issues.

In your case, the dampness in the basement could potentially be more than just surface-level. It might suggest a deeper issue like poor drainage around your home or even structural problems with the foundation. The musty smell you mentioned is also a clear indicator of potential mold growth, which can pose serious health risks to you and especially your children.

In Dubai, as per the Building Control Regulations (BRC), it’s crucial that homes are constructed in such a way to prevent water ingress and ensure proper drainage systems. However, construction defects or wear and tear over time might not always adhere strictly to these standards.

Given this situation, I would strongly recommend you contact a professional inspection service for a thorough assessment of the basement area. At Saniservice, we offer comprehensive indoor environmental quality inspections that can help identify the source of moisture and any associated mold growth. Our services are specifically designed to cater to the unique needs of Dubai’s climate and building conditions.

If the issue is indeed related to excessive moisture or mold, it's important to address it promptly to prevent further damage and potential health risks. Delaying action could result in higher costs for remediation and may pose a risk to your family's well-being.

Remember, early detection and prompt action are key to resolving such issues effectively. So, do not hesitate to call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule an inspection today. Taking proactive steps will ensure a healthier living environment for you and your family.

Should you decide against professional help, keeping the area well-ventilated by opening windows regularly can be helpful but might not address the root cause of the issue.
