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 pays to fix basement dampness?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in the basement of my rental unit. The walls are starting to show signs of mildew, and there's an unpleasant musty smell that lingers even when we open windows. Given this situation, who is responsible for addressing these issues—me or the landlord?

Who Pays To Fix Basement Dampness?

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, it's common to encounter dampness issues, especially after heavy rains. Your situation sounds concerning as you've noticed mildew and a musty smell which are clear signs of moisture problems.

According to the Landlord and Tenant Regulations in the UAE, landlords are typically responsible for maintaining the structural integrity of your property, including addressing issues such as water damage and dampness in common areas or within the landlord's portion of the building. However, it can get a bit grey when dealing with private units that may have specific clauses laid out by agreements between you and the landlord.

Given the severity of what you're experiencing, I strongly recommend reaching out to your landlord immediately to discuss the issue. If no resolution is reached, or if you feel your concerns are not being addressed adequately, you might want to consider having a professional inspection done. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice (call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com) can offer comprehensive inspections and remediation plans for dampness issues.

Keep in mind that in case the landlord does not take action despite your requests, you may have to resort to formal channels such as filing a complaint with relevant authorities. However, it’s always best to try amicable solutions first to maintain good relations with your landlord.

Remember, addressing moisture-related issues early can prevent more serious problems down the line including structural damage and health risks for yourself and your family.

Taking care of these issues promptly is crucial not just for the condition of your home but also for ensuring a healthy living environment. So, don’t delay in getting it checked out and sorted!
