Should we clean ductwork immediately?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the rain last month, I noticed water pooling in the corner of our living room. The AC unit also sounds a bit unusual lately, like there might be more noise than usual. Given that we have kids and elderly family members staying with us more often, should we get the ductwork cleaned immediately or is it something we can wait on?

Absolutely, it's crucial to address any issues related to your ductwork promptly. Given the unusual noises coming from your AC unit and the water pooling issue in your living room, it seems there might be more than just a simple clean-up job at hand.
Firstly, let’s consider the UAE context. The country experiences extreme weather conditions, including sudden rainfalls, which can lead to moisture issues inside buildings. In Dubai, especially, humidity levels can create ideal environments for mold growth, and this is particularly concerning given your mention of elderly family members living with you. Mold not only poses health risks but can also significantly affect the air quality in your home. The unusual noises from your AC unit could be indicative of a blockage or an issue within the ductwork. Water pooling suggests that there may be condensation or even a leak, which needs immediate attention to prevent further damage and potential mold growth. These conditions are not just uncomfortable; they can also pose serious health risks, especially for vulnerable family members. Given these circumstances, I would highly recommend scheduling a professional inspection as soon as possible. Saniservice, the company we work with here in Dubai, offers comprehensive duct cleaning services that address both visible and hidden issues within your HVAC system. Their experts will thoroughly inspect your ductwork, identify any potential mold or moisture issues, and provide a detailed report on their findings.
