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 my slow-draining sink or call a plumber?« Back to Previous Page

My kitchen sink has been draining really slowly for the past few weeks, and I've tried clearing out the trap under the sink but that didn't seem to help. I've also noticed a slight gurgling sound when I run the dishwasher, which makes me think there might be a more serious blockage deeper in the pipes. I live in an apartment in Jumeirah and the plumbing is a bit old, so I'm wondering if this is something I could tackle on my own with some DIY skills, or if I should just call a plumber right away. Has anyone dealt with something similar, and what do you recommend?

Dealing with a slow-draining kitchen sink, especially in an older apartment in Jumeirah, can indeed be frustrating. While it's commendable that you've already attempted to clear the trap under the sink, the gurgling sound when running your dishwasher suggests that the issue may go beyond just a simple blockage. It’s possible that you’re facing a more serious clog deeper in the plumbing system.

In the UAE, plumbing systems must adhere to certain regulations set by the Dubai Municipality, which often require proper installation and maintenance practices to ensure safe and effective drainage. Given the age of your plumbing, it might not only be a blockage but also deteriorated pipes or accumulated debris that’s causing the slow drainage.

If you have some DIY skills and want to explore the issue further, you might consider using a plumber's snake or a drain auger to try and dislodge any deeper clogs. However, be cautious while doing this; improper use can cause damage to your pipes, leading to more significant problems and costs down the line.

If the gurgling persists or if you notice any other symptoms like water backing up or foul odors, it would be prudent to call a professional plumber right away. They can conduct a thorough inspection of the entire plumbing system, including the use of specialized camera equipment to pinpoint the exact location and nature of the blockage. This not only saves you time but also prevents potential damage to your plumbing, which can be costly to repair.

In summary, while minor issues can sometimes be handled with DIY methods, your situation sounds like it may require professional attention. I recommend reaching out to a qualified plumbing service to ensure that the problem is resolved effectively and in compliance with local building regulations. If you're unsure of whom to call, you can contact SaniService at 800-MOLDS or 800-66537, or email hello@saniservice.com for assistance. Taking action sooner rather than later can save you from more extensive repairs in the future.
