Should I clean balcony debris myself or call a pro?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy storms we had last month, I noticed some sand and debris accumulated at the base of my balcony door in Jumeirah. The wind seems to blow a lot of it in, making it hard to keep clean. Should I try cleaning this myself or should I call in a professional?

Cleaning balcony debris like the sand and debris that might be accumulating at your base of your balcony door in Jumeirah can indeed become a challenging task. While it's perfectly acceptable to try cleaning this yourself, there are a few factors you should consider.

Firstly, given the recent storms we experienced here in Dubai, it’s not uncommon for coastal areas like Jumeirah to see an increase in sand and debris getting blown into your space. This can be a bit more than what might normally accumulate under normal conditions. However, if this has become a significant issue that is impacting the structural integrity of your balcony or if you notice any unusual damage, it would be wise to call in a professional for inspection.

UAE regulations stipulate that properties must maintain their exterior areas and balconies are no exception. Ensuring cleanliness and addressing issues such as debris can prevent potential hazards like water ingress which could lead to mold growth or structural damage. If left unchecked, these elements can also impact the overall aesthetic of your property and might even affect its resale value.

To clean yourself, start by using a soft brush or vacuum cleaner on a low setting to gently remove sand and debris from the base of your balcony door. Be sure to check for any signs of water damage or mold growth, especially if moisture has been present due to heavy storms. If you spot any issues, it's crucial to address them immediately.

If after self-inspection you find no immediate concerns but are still concerned about ongoing accumulation, consider reaching out to a professional service like ours at SanIService.
