We've been in our Dubai villa for about a year now and I just discovered what looks like duct cleaning behind some furniture. Is this dangerous and do I need to move out during treatment?

Duct cleaning can indeed affect your family's health. It is a process that involves the removal of dust, debris, and mold from the air ducts in your villa. In Dubai and the UAE, regulations require that this be done by certified professionals to ensure safety and efficacy.
Firstly, it’s important to understand how duct cleaning works. The dirt and debris collected inside the ductwork can become airborne when the system is operating, potentially causing allergic reactions or respiratory issues for those with sensitivities. In Dubai's climate, where we see high humidity levels especially during the summer months, mold growth in ducts is a common concern. If you've discovered signs of duct cleaning activity behind your furniture, it’s crucial to assess whether this was done by professionals who follow local regulations. The UAE does not have specific laws governing duct cleaning but adherence to best practices is encouraged to protect public health and safety. For serious cases or if you're unsure about the quality of the work, I'd recommend scheduling a professional inspection. At SaniService, we provide comprehensive indoor air quality assessments which include evaluating your ductwork for cleanliness and identifying any potential health risks. Our team will ensure that all cleaning activities meet our high standards, ensuring your family's well-being. In terms of safety during treatment, it’s generally recommended to vacate the premises temporarily if major work is being done on your HVAC system. However, this should only be necessary in cases where there are concerns about airborne contaminants or mold. If you decide to proceed with cleaning or have any doubts, do not hesitate to contact us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for more information. Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial, especially considering Dubai's hot and humid climate which can exacerbate health issues. Regular inspections and maintenance of your HVAC system can help prevent problems before they arise. If you have further questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out. |
