Is duct cleaning urgent for allergy concerns?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent damp smell lingering in the living room, especially when the air conditioning is on. It’s concerning because my children have been complaining of coughing fits lately, and I can’t help but wonder if mold or dust from the ducts might be causing this. How urgent is it to get the ducts cleaned?

Duct cleaning can be quite urgent especially for allergy concerns like the ones you've described. The persistent damp smell and coughing fits could indeed be linked to issues within your air ducts, particularly if mold is present due to water damage from last month's rain.

In the UAE, specifically in Dubai, regulations mandate that commercial buildings undergo regular maintenance checks including air duct cleaning every 2-3 years. For residential areas, while not mandated by law, it’s highly recommended especially after experiencing moisture or humidity issues such as yours.

Given your situation, I would strongly recommend having a professional inspection done to assess the condition of your ductwork. This can help identify if there's any mold growth or excessive dust accumulation that might be causing respiratory issues for you and your children.

To get started, consider contacting a certified air quality management company in Dubai like Saniservice. They offer specialized services including thorough duct cleaning and inspection using high-tech equipment to ensure safe and effective results. You can reach them at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for more information.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial, especially with children who are more susceptible to respiratory problems. Don’t delay; addressing this now could prevent further health issues down the line.
