Is duct cleaning covered by insurance?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm we had a few weeks ago, I’ve noticed a persistent dry cough and sneezing whenever I enter my bedroom. The window there hasn’t been opened in months due to the heat, but even when it’s closed, the air feels thick with something. Could this be related to the ductwork? What should I do about cleaning it?

Duct cleaning is indeed something to consider given your situation. The dust storm you experienced can certainly stir up all sorts of particulates that might be lingering within the ductwork. In Dubai/UAE, the regulations surrounding indoor air quality and building maintenance are quite stringent to ensure a healthy environment for residents.
Firstly, it’s important to note that whether duct cleaning is covered by insurance depends largely on your policy terms. Many home insurance policies do not cover routine or preventative services such as duct cleaning unless specifically stated. However, if the issue you're experiencing is related to a recent event like the dust storm and causes damage or requires emergency repairs, there's a possibility it could be reimbursable. For peace of mind, and given that you’re noticing persistent symptoms in your bedroom - especially after such an event - I'd recommend seeking out a professional inspection. Saniservice, for instance, offers comprehensive duct cleaning services tailored to the local climate and conditions. Their experts can assess if there's any contamination or blockage in your system that might be causing your respiratory issues. A professional inspection is crucial here as it will not only help identify the source of your symptoms but also provide a detailed report on the state of your HVAC system. This way, you can make informed decisions about what needs to be done and whether insurance coverage applies. If Saniservice or any other reputable service provider determines that duct cleaning is necessary, they’ll likely clean your entire system to ensure all areas are free from debris and contaminants. Regular maintenance like this can prevent future issues and keep the air in your home as clean and healthy as possible. So, if you decide to proceed with a professional inspection or service, call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for Saniservice or email hello@saniservice.com. They can guide you through the process and help address any concerns you may have. Remember, while it’s tempting to do DIY cleaning, the tools and techniques required are often beyond what a homeowner might have access to. Professional service providers like Saniservice have the expertise and equipment needed for thorough and effective duct cleaning in Dubai/UAE conditions. |
