Is duct cleaning necessary due to dust storm?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I noticed a strange smell lingering in my living room. It’s not too bad yet, but it’s definitely there every time the windows are open. My family has been complaining of mild coughing lately, and I can’t help but think that might be related to all the debris settling inside our ducts. How urgent is it really to get these cleaned?

Duct cleaning can be quite important following an event like the recent dust storm in Dubai. The fine particles and debris that entered your home during such storms often settle within the ductwork system, leading to potential health issues for you and your family.
In the UAE, particularly in cities like Dubai, there are no specific regulations mandating regular duct cleaning. However, given the recent conditions, it would be prudent to have a professional inspection carried out. This will help determine if any contaminants such as dust, mold spores, or other allergens have accumulated and pose a risk. If your family has been experiencing mild coughing symptoms since the storm, there's a good chance that these could be linked to the lingering dust in the air and within your ducts. The strange smell you've noticed when windows are open might also indicate some form of decomposition or mold growth due to the trapped moisture from the storm. I'd recommend contacting a professional company for an inspection. At ServicePro Environmental, we offer comprehensive duct cleaning services tailored specifically for UAE conditions. Our team uses state-of-the-art equipment and techniques to ensure thorough cleaning without damaging your system.
