Is mold growth causing our bedroom issues?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a persistent musty smell in my bedroom, especially when the air conditioner is on. My kids have also been complaining of coughing fits, and I can’t shake the feeling that it’s related to the air quality. Could this be due to mold or dust in our ducts? What should we do about cleaning them?

Yes, it’s quite possible that mold growth could be the culprit behind your bedroom issues. The recent heavy rains coupled with persistent musty smells and coughing fits from your kids strongly indicate a potential problem within the air ducts or HVAC system. In Dubai and the UAE, we often see instances where water intrusion during rainy periods leads to moisture accumulation in these hidden spaces, providing an ideal environment for mold growth.

In such cases, it’s crucial to have a professional inspection done. The regulations in the UAE stipulate that building owners should ensure regular maintenance of their HVAC systems, including duct cleaning and inspection, particularly after any water-related incidents like heavy rains. This not only maintains air quality but also helps prevent health issues for your family.

Given the symptoms you're experiencing, I would recommend scheduling a thorough inspection with a certified environmental remediation company like ours. Our experts will use advanced equipment to assess the condition of your ducts and identify if there’s any mold growth or other contaminants that need attention. Early detection and cleaning can prevent further health issues for your kids.
