Leak or condensation?

Condensation Investigations in Dubai & the UAE

Humid outdoor air meeting cold, air-conditioned surfaces produces water that looks exactly like a leak: drips from ceilings, wet walls behind wardrobes, and mould around AC vents and windows. We test humidity, surface temperatures and nearby plumbing to tell you whether it is condensation or a leak, and what to fix. Fixed prices from AED 1,150 including VAT.

Common condensation problems in the UAE

  • Sweating chilled water pipes and AC ducts above false ceilings
  • Water dripping from AC diffusers and grilles
  • Wet glass and frames on windows and sliding doors
  • Mould behind wardrobes on external or cold walls
  • Damp in rooms where AC is off while the rest of the home is cold

How we tell the difference

  • Humidity and dew point readings inside and out
  • Thermal imaging of cold surfaces, ducts and pipes
  • Moisture mapping to see the pattern of the damp
  • Plumbing checks to rule leaks in or out

Price

Apartments AED 1,150 and villas AED 1,650 for the first hour on site, then AED 495 per extra hour. All prices include 5% VAT and a written report. See all prices.

Condensation FAQs

Why is condensation so common in the UAE?

Warm, humid outdoor air combined with strong air conditioning creates cold surfaces. When moist air touches them, water forms, especially where insulation is missing or damaged.

Who fixes condensation problems?

Usually your AC maintenance company for ducts, insulation and drains, or your building management for common systems. Our report tells them what and where.

Can I reduce it myself?

Keep doors and windows closed when the AC is on, avoid very low temperature settings, allow airflow behind furniture on external walls, and have AC units serviced regularly.
