How to professionally clean mould from AC making us sick?« Back to Previous Page

Based on the symptoms you're describing in JVT – the gurgling noise, damp smell, and morning respiratory issues – that's a classic presentation of microbial contamination, likely mould, within your AC system. The humidity here is a prime catalyst. Here's the professional remediation process we follow, aligned with Dubai Municipality guidelines.

First, a certified inspection is non-negotiable. We use borescopes to visually inspect the evaporator coils and ductwork for microbial growth and a moisture meter to pinpoint any condensation issues. Air and surface sampling might be conducted to identify the spore types and concentration, which dictates the remediation protocol.

The cleaning itself is not a simple wipe-down. It's a contained process. The unit is isolated, and we use high-pressure HEPA-filtered vacuuming to remove all loose debris. Then, we apply specialized EPA-approved biocides and anti-microbial coatings to the coils and drain pan to disinfect and inhibit future growth. The drain line is flushed and treated to clear the blockage causing that gurgling sound. Crucially, the entire system is then hygienized using a ULV fogger that disperses a sanitizing mist throughout the ducts to address contaminants you can't see.

Finally, we perform post-remediation verification (PRV) to ensure the spore count is within safe limits. DIY cleaning often just spreads the problem. For a proper assessment and to get that unit sorted, call our team at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a comprehensive inspection.
