Should I clean kitchen ducts for mold or hire pros?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the rain last month, I noticed a lot of water dripping from our kitchen ceiling. The ducts run through that area, so I'm worried about mold buildup and potential health issues. Should I consider hiring professionals to clean them, or are there do-it-yourself methods? What can I expect in terms of cost for this service in Dubai?

Absolutely, it's wise to consider professional duct cleaning especially after experiencing water issues like the dripping from your kitchen ceiling. The situation you described sounds like a breeding ground for mold and other contaminants that could pose health risks. In Dubai or the UAE generally, we have strict regulations around indoor environmental quality (IEQ) and mold management due to the humid climate post heavy rainfall.
Given the potential for mold growth in ducts, I'd recommend professional inspection and cleaning rather than DIY methods. Professionals can identify hidden mold growth that you might not notice with a naked eye or basic tools. They also have the right equipment like thermal imaging cameras which can detect moisture and mold even behind walls or in inaccessible areas. Regarding costs, prices can vary depending on the extent of the job and the company you choose. Typically, professional duct cleaning in Dubai could range from AED 200 to AED 1,000 for a standard residential system. For your specific case, given the history with water damage, it might be worth investing more in thorough inspection and remediation.
