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 landlord's concern?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a strange dampness in the basement where we keep our storage boxes. The air feels heavier and more humid down there, even though the rest of the apartment seems fine. Should this be something my landlord is responsible for addressing, or am I just being overly cautious?

Absolutely, dampness in the basement is definitely something that your landlord should be concerned about. In the UAE, including Dubai, there are strict regulations regarding indoor air quality and building maintenance. The UAE Building Code (UAE-BS 12000) mandates regular inspections to ensure buildings are well maintained, free from moisture issues, and safe for occupancy.

In your case, noticing dampness in the basement is a red flag. Moisture can lead to several problems: structural damage, mold growth, and decreased air quality – all of which affect not only the comfort but also the health of residents. Mold spores can trigger allergies or worsen respiratory conditions like asthma if present in high concentrations.

It's crucial to address this issue promptly. I would recommend scheduling a professional inspection with a company that specializes in environmental inspections and remediation, such as Saniservice (call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com). They can assess the extent of the dampness, identify any mold growth if present, and provide a detailed report on necessary actions to take.

In the meantime, you could try some basic steps to mitigate moisture:
• Ensure proper ventilation in the basement
• Place dehumidifiers or open windows when weather permits to reduce humidity levels
• Check for leaks in pipes or roof

Remember, even though the rest of your apartment seems fine, basements are often more prone to moisture issues due to their location and design. If left unchecked, these problems can spread over time.

If you find that the dampness is not improving or if mold is present, it’s imperative to address this with your landlord or property manager right away. They have a legal obligation under UAE laws to maintain properties in a safe condition for tenants. Failing to do so could result in legal action against them.

In conclusion, while you should always be cautious about the health of your living environment, dampness in the basement is not something you should overlook. Taking proactive steps and ensuring professional inspection and remediation are key to maintaining a healthy indoor air quality in your home.
