Could cleaning ducts help our symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last week, my daughter has been experiencing persistent coughing and my spouse has reported feeling generally unwell. The ducts in our apartment are quite old and haven’t been cleaned since we moved in two years ago. Could cleaning the air ducts help alleviate these symptoms?

Absolutely, cleaning your ducts could indeed help ease the symptoms you're experiencing. Ductwork can accumulate dust, mold spores, and other allergens over time, especially if they haven't been serviced since 2 years ago as you mentioned. These particles can circulate through your home's ventilation system and impact air quality.

In Dubai/UAE, it’s important to note that the regulations regarding indoor environmental quality are stringent. The Building Code of Dubai requires regular maintenance of HVAC systems which includes cleaning ductwork every few years depending on usage and condition. Given the dust storm you've experienced recently, this could have exacerbated any existing issues within your system.

Cleaning ducts can help remove these irritants from your air stream, thus potentially reducing coughing spells and general malaise in both you and your daughter. However, a thorough inspection is recommended before undertaking any cleaning process to identify any issues that might need more attention than just a clean.

It’s advisable to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for an expert consultation. They can provide the necessary services like duct cleaning, inspection, and remediation if needed. Professional service providers will ensure that the process is done safely and effectively.

Remember, after the cleaning, it's also crucial to maintain good HVAC system operation and regular servicing to keep your indoor environment healthy. Regular air filtration and humidity control are key factors in maintaining a clean and comfortable living space.

Taking action now could make a significant difference in your family’s health and well-being. Don't hesitate to reach out for professional help if you're concerned about the quality of your home's air.
