Could duct cleaning help my kids' symptoms?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent musty smell in my bedroom closet, which is right next to the AC unit. My kids have been complaining of sneezing and coughing more than usual since then, and it's making me really worried about mold or other allergens from the ducts. Has anyone experienced similar issues or knows if regular duct cleaning could help with these symptoms?

Hello there,
Duct cleaning could indeed be beneficial for your situation. In dubai and the UAE, the climate often results in high humidity levels, which can contribute to mold growth within HVAC systems. When you experienced rain last month, it's possible that moisture entered your ductwork, creating an environment where mold spores could flourish. This could explain why you're noticing a musty smell and why your children are experiencing more sneezing and coughing. Firstly, i recommend having a professional inspection done by a company like ours here at Saniservice. They can assess the condition of your ducts and determine if mold or other allergens are present. Regular cleaning is recommended to prevent such issues from arising in the first place, but it's especially important after incidents like rain. Cleaning your ductwork can help remove accumulated dust, debris, and potential mold growth that could be contributing to these symptoms. However, do note that regular maintenance alone may not fully resolve all issues if mold has already established itself. In such cases, remediation steps might be necessary. To address the musty smell and improve indoor air quality, a thorough duct cleaning is often recommended. By doing so, we can help ensure your family's comfort and health. Our team uses specialized equipment to safely clean the entire system including the return vents, supply registers, and even deep inside the ducts where mold might be hiding. Remember that keeping up with regular maintenance on your HVAC system is crucial in maintaining good indoor air quality. In dubai, we typically recommend having this done at least once a year or more often if you live in an area prone to high humidity like yours. If you decide to proceed with duct cleaning, i would suggest calling 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or emailing hello@saniservice.com. We can schedule an appointment at your convenience and ensure the process is completed efficiently and effectively. Keep in mind that while duct cleaning can be very effective, it’s also important to address other sources of indoor air pollution such as controlling humidity levels with dehumidifiers, ensuring proper ventilation, and using air purifiers if needed. By combining these measures with regular maintenance, you can significantly improve the quality of your home environment. Take care, [Your Name] Saniservice Team |
