Is duct cleaning covered by insurance?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm we had a couple of weeks ago, I noticed a lot of dirt collecting on the ceiling fans in my living room. It got me wondering if it’s also settling inside the ducts, especially since my son has been complaining about a cough that won’t go away despite our efforts to clean the house regularly. Should I consider hiring professionals for duct cleaning, or is there a cheaper DIY solution?

Duct cleaning is indeed a topic of concern for many homeowners like yourself, especially after such a dusty storm. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, there are no specific regulations mandating duct cleaning or its coverage by insurance. However, it's wise to consider if your coughing son may be affected by airborne particles from uncleaned ducts.
DIY solutions can include using a vacuum cleaner with a dedicated hose for duct cleaning, but this might not always be thorough enough, especially given the recent dust storm. Professional duct cleaners have specialized equipment and techniques that ensure effective removal of dirt, debris, and mold spores which could be causing your son's symptoms. Insurance policies in Dubai generally don't cover routine maintenance like duct cleaning unless it becomes necessary due to specific issues such as water damage leading to mold growth or structural issues affecting the air quality. It’s advisable to check with your insurance provider if you have any doubt about coverage for this type of service. If you're concerned, I'd recommend scheduling a professional inspection and cleaning through companies like Saniservice. They can provide a thorough assessment and clean your ducts properly, ensuring that the indoor air quality is up to standard. Their services are reliable and they operate in compliance with local standards, making them a good choice for such a task. Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com if you need more information on their services.
