Can duct cleaning help after storm damage?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm we had last week, I noticed a significant amount of dust and debris accumulating in the air vents of my living room. The filters were still clean, but it seems like there's more at play than just that. My kids have been complaining about coughing fits, which worries me given how often they're around this area. Have anyone experienced similar issues after storms and found that thorough duct cleaning helped prevent recurring problems?

Absolutely, duct cleaning can indeed be very beneficial after storm damage. The dust storm we had last week is a perfect example of how such events can lead to increased debris and pollutants within your HVAC system. In the UAE, especially here in Dubai, our climate conditions make us more prone to such issues.
When storms pass through, they often bring with them not just dust but also other particulates like pollen, mold spores, and even small insects or spiders that get stuck in your ducts. These can circulate throughout your home, affecting air quality and potentially causing health issues for you and your family, particularly if anyone is sensitive to allergens. In your case, the coughing fits experienced by your kids could be a result of this storm-related contamination. The filters might have kept larger debris out but smaller particulates like dust mites or pollen could still pass through, leading to these symptoms. Given that you've already noticed increased dust in your air vents, it’s highly likely that there's more buildup inside the ducts. To address this issue effectively and ensure a healthier living environment, I would recommend getting a professional inspection done. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice specialize in such services and can provide thorough cleaning of your HVAC system. They follow UAE-specific regulations to ensure that all work is carried out safely and efficiently. Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for more information on their services and to schedule an appointment. Regular maintenance like this not only improves air quality but also extends the life of your HVAC system. Remember, while you can clean your vents yourself with a vacuum cleaner, it's crucial to have the ductwork cleaned professionally because these areas are hard to reach and require specialized tools and techniques. Saniservice’s technicians use advanced equipment to ensure that every inch of your ducts is properly cleaned and sanitized. Taking this step now could prevent recurring problems down the line and help maintain a healthier home environment for you and your family. |
