Should duct cleaning affect my apartment?« Back to Previous Page

Duct cleaning in a neighboring apartment shouldn't directly affect your own unit unless there's an issue like shared air handling systems. In Dubai and the UAE, ductwork is often part of central HVAC systems designed to serve multiple units. If that's the case, it’s crucial to ensure that the system operates correctly.

However, if your building has individual ducts or sealed off spaces between units, you shouldn't face immediate issues from neighboring duct cleaning. That said, any maintenance work like this can sometimes raise concerns about indoor air quality and potential cross-contamination.

To stay on the safe side, i'd recommend having a professional inspection of your ductwork done every 5-10 years or when major renovations occur. This ensures that everything is in good working order and there are no hidden issues. In Dubai, regulations may require periodic checks for large commercial buildings but residential areas might not be as strictly enforced.

If you notice any unusual smells, changes in air quality, or suspect contamination from the neighboring unit's duct cleaning, contact a professional service provider immediately. We at Saniservice can conduct thorough inspections and provide remediation if needed. Call 800-MOLDS (66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for more information.

Remember, while it’s uncommon for one apartment's ductwork to directly impact another, regular maintenance is key to maintaining a healthy indoor environment in your home. Stay vigilant and proactive about your living conditions to ensure you’re breathing the best air possible.
