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.

Who fixes roof leaks in rental properties?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a mildew stain on the ceiling above our bedroom, which is directly below the roof. It’s concerning because it seems like there might be an issue with the waterproofing material or some leaky pipes up there. Who typically handles repairs like this in a rental property—landlord or tenant?

In Dubai and the UAE, when it comes to fixing roof leaks in rental properties, the primary responsibility usually lies with the landlord. However, there are some important factors and steps you should consider before jumping into any repair process.

Firstly, it's crucial to identify if the leak is indeed caused by a faulty waterproofing material or perhaps from leaking pipes. Given that your issue seems significant enough to cause mildew stains on the ceiling, I strongly recommend having a professional inspection conducted. In Dubai, specialized companies like Saniservice can offer detailed assessments and pinpoint the exact source of the problem.

Regarding regulations in the UAE, according to the Real Estate Agency Regulation 2018, landlords are required to maintain their properties in good condition. This includes addressing any structural issues that could affect tenants' health and safety. If you're renting out a property, it's also wise to have a contract clause specifying the landlord’s responsibilities for maintenance and repairs.

If the issue is confirmed to be due to faulty waterproofing or leaking pipes, the landlord would typically handle the repairs. However, if you find that the tenant has caused damage by, say, leaving the water tap on, or if the issue was present before your tenancy began, then the responsibility might shift accordingly.

To avoid any complications and ensure a smooth process, it's recommended to communicate openly with your landlord about the situation. Provide them with photos of the mildew stains and any other evidence that could help in pinpointing the cause of the leak. This will not only make things easier but also help maintain a good relationship between you as a tenant and the landlord.

In Dubai, you can reach out to Saniservice for professional inspection services by calling 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or emailing hello@saniservice.com. Their experts will be able to assess the situation accurately and provide a cost-effective solution tailored to your needs.

Remember, while landlords are usually responsible for these kinds of repairs, it's always good practice to take proactive steps in maintaining your living environment. Regular inspections can help catch issues before they become severe problems.

Stay dry!
