Should we hire professionals to inspect ducts?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a mildewy smell coming from the hallway near our office space, which we rent in Dubai. We've had the AC running almost every day for the past couple of months, but it feels less effective this year compared to previous years. Should we consider hiring professionals to inspect and possibly clean the ducts?

Absolutely, given the circumstances in Dubai and the UAE, it's wise to consider hiring professionals for an inspection of your office ducts. The mildewy smell you've noticed coupled with decreased efficiency from the AC system are significant indicators that something might be amiss.

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, humidity levels can fluctuate significantly due to seasonal changes and occasional rainfall. This can create ideal conditions for mold growth, especially if there's any water intrusion or condensation issues within your building’s ventilation system. According to the UAE Building Code (UAE-BC), which requires regular maintenance of HVAC systems, it is crucial to ensure that all components are in good working order.

When you do decide to go ahead with a professional inspection, look for companies like Saniservice who have experience dealing with local conditions and can provide thorough cleaning and disinfection services if necessary. They can also help identify any underlying issues that might be affecting your AC system's performance.

Remember, ignoring these signs could lead to more severe problems down the line such as respiratory issues among staff or even structural damage due to mold growth. So, don't hesitate to take action—call 800-MOLDS (or 800-66537) for a consultation with Saniservice today.

By addressing these concerns promptly, you can ensure a healthier and more comfortable working environment for everyone in the office.
