Is duct issues causing my family’s symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a strange odor lingering in my bedroom that seemed to get stronger every day. My kids have been complaining of coughs and sneezes more than usual, especially when they’re home from school. The AC filter seems pretty clean, but I’m wondering if there might be an issue with the ducts. Has anyone else experienced similar symptoms after a rainy spell and had their ducts cleaned?

Absolutely, duct issues can definitely be the cause of your family's symptoms. In dubai/uae, we've seen many instances where moisture from rain has led to mold growth within the HVAC system and ductwork, causing unpleasant odors and respiratory issues like coughs and sneezes.

In uae, it is not uncommon for the humidity levels to rise significantly after a rainy spell - especially in areas prone to such weather. This increase in moisture can create an ideal environment for mold to thrive inside your ducts. Mold spores can easily spread throughout your home through your air conditioning system, leading to unpleasant odors and health issues like those your kids are experiencing.

Given the situation you've described, it would be wise to have a professional inspection of your ductwork. The uae has specific regulations regarding indoor environmental quality that your HVAC system should comply with. A certified inspector can identify any potential mold growth or other issues within the ducts and recommend appropriate remediation steps.

If you decide to proceed with an inspection, call 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional service. These companies specialize in handling HVAC and indoor air quality issues, ensuring that your family's health is protected from harmful contaminants.

Remember, early detection and remediation of such issues can prevent more severe problems down the line. Take action now to ensure your home environment remains healthy and safe for you and your loved ones.
