Should musty odor be professionally checked?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storms we had last month, I noticed a lingering odor in our living room that doesn’t seem to go away no matter how many times I clean. The AC filters look fine, but it’s still musty and damp smelling. Can someone who has dealt with indoor air issues share some tips or is this something I should consider hiring an expert for?

Absolutely musty odor should be professionally checked. In dubai and the uae, indoor air quality is paramount due to our climate conditions and architectural designs that can lead to moisture accumulation. This is particularly true after a dust storm where external particles may have entered your home and led to an increase in humidity or even mold growth.
Given that you've experienced this musty odor despite clean AC filters, it's likely that there are underlying issues that need expert attention. Moisture intrusion could be the culprit here, especially if the smell persists. This is common in our region due to seasonal changes and construction practices that might not always prioritize moisture barriers or ventilation. I'd recommend scheduling a professional inspection with a certified company like ours. They can conduct a thorough assessment including checking for hidden mold growth behind walls, assessing your building's insulation, and reviewing your HVAC system’s efficiency. We have seen many cases where seemingly minor issues lead to major problems if left unchecked. In dubai, regulations around indoor air quality are stringent but it’s crucial that you ensure compliance not just for comfort but also for health safety. Our team can help identify any non-compliance areas and guide you through the necessary steps to correct them. For immediate action, consider checking your home's humidity levels using a hygrometer. If the level is high (above 60%), it’s a sign that moisture might be an issue. Addressing this early can prevent more serious problems like mold development or structural damage. Remember, prevention and proactive measures are key in maintaining good indoor air quality. Call us at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com to book your inspection today.
