Should we urgently clean bedroom ducts for mold?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent damp smell coming from the bedroom on the second floor. My partner and I both have sensitive respiratory issues, and we’re worried it might be due to mold or mildew growing in the ducts. How urgent is it to get these cleaned, especially with the hot summer months approaching?

Absolutely, it is quite urgent to get those ducts checked and cleaned. In the UAE, particularly Dubai, we've seen an increase in mold growth during summer months due to high humidity levels. The damp smell you're experiencing might indeed be a sign of mold or mildew developing within your ductwork, especially after heavy rainfall.

Given that both you and your partner have sensitive respiratory issues, it's critical to address this as soon as possible. Mold can exacerbate asthma and other breathing problems, making it important to remove the source of potential health risks in your home environment.

In Dubai, we follow strict guidelines set by the Building Services Engineering Association (BSEA) which emphasizes regular maintenance and cleaning of HVAC systems to ensure good indoor air quality. It's recommended that you get a professional inspection done right away. These experts can pinpoint any issues like mold growth or blockages within your ductwork that could be affecting your home’s environment.

Saniservice, for instance, offers comprehensive duct cleaning services tailored to the local climate and conditions in Dubai. They use advanced techniques and equipment to effectively clean and decontaminate your ducts, ensuring a healthier indoor air quality.

While you can perform some basic maintenance like dusting filters yourself, it's best to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a thorough inspection and cleaning. They have the expertise and tools necessary to tackle any issues efficiently and safely.

Remember, addressing these concerns early on could save both your health and your HVAC system from further damage. Don't wait until you notice more severe symptoms or damage; take action now while it's still manageable.
