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 I fix basement leak myself or call a pro?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed water seeping into the basement where our laundry room is. It’s not a huge leak, but it’s persistent, especially after heavy showers. The area smells damp and has some mildew starting to form. Should I try to fix this myself or should I call in a professional?

Absolutely understandable concern about the dampness and mildew forming. In Dubai and the UAE generally, it's essential to address such issues promptly to prevent further damage and maintain indoor environmental quality.

Firstly, it’s wise to conduct a thorough inspection of the area. Look for any signs of structural issues, like cracks in walls or floors, that might be contributing to the water seepage. In Dubai, where we experience relatively high humidity levels, even small leaks can become problematic if left unaddressed.

Given the persistent nature of your issue and the fact that it worsens after heavy showers, I'd recommend calling in a professional for an assessment. This is especially important considering local regulations which emphasize maintaining good indoor air quality to safeguard health and property value. A professional inspection could cost you a bit but will provide peace of mind and ensure the problem doesn’t escalate.

When looking for a contractor, consider those who are certified by the Emirates Building Code or have experience dealing with water damage in Dubai's climate. They can offer effective solutions like installing proper drainage systems, waterproofing materials, and sealing any existing cracks to prevent future leaks.

Additionally, keep an eye on the condition of your laundry room area. Mold and mildew not only affect indoor air quality but also can lead to allergic reactions or respiratory issues, particularly in children and elderly people. Addressing this issue sooner rather than later is beneficial for everyone's health.

If you decide to handle it yourself, make sure to take precautions such as wearing protective gear like gloves and masks while working with damp areas. Clean up any visible mold using appropriate cleaning solutions, but remember that professional equipment might be necessary for thorough treatment of the area.

Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com if you need guidance or want to consult professionals before taking action yourself. They can offer tailored advice based on your specific situation and ensure compliance with local regulations.

Taking these steps should help resolve the issue effectively, ensuring a healthier indoor environment for your home in Dubai.
