Is duct cleaning covered by insurance?« Back to Previous Page

Duct cleaning ain't typically covered by standard home insurance policies in the UAE, including Dubai. Most insurances focus on direct damage from events like fire, water leakage, theft, or structural issues. However, if ducts get contaminated due to an insured event and then lead to health issues, you might have a case.

In your situation, where you're notice a musty odor and your son is sneezing and having itchy eyes, it's likely worth investigating the ducts as they could be harboring mold or dust. After that recent dust storm, it’s not outta question.

A professional inspection would help determine if there are any issues with the ductwork. Saniservice, a reputable company in Dubai, offers such services and can provide detailed reports on your HVAC system's condition. Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for more information and to schedule an inspection.

If the inspection confirms that the ducts need cleaning, you'll want to do it properly. Make sure the contractor follows industry standards which may include using negative air pressure systems to prevent dust from spreading throughout your home. Regular maintenance can also help in reducing such issues down the line.

Remember, keeping indoor air quality up is crucial for health, especially when kids are involved. So if you're unsure or uncomfortable with DIY cleaning, it’s best to call professionals who have experience and proper equipment.

Hope this helps!
