Could poor ductwork cause musty smells and health issues?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely could be! In dubai and the uae, we've seen numerous cases where poor ductwork can lead to musty smells and health issues. The recent dust storm you mentioned could have kicked up a lot of dust and debris which got trapped inside your ducts. Over time this buildup can lead to mold growth and the development of unpleasant odors.

In dubai, regulations do require that building owners maintain proper indoor air quality, especially in light of such events. If you're noticing musty smells and health issues like sneezing and coughing, it's highly advisable to have a professional inspection done. This will help identify if your ducts are indeed the source of these problems.

One key thing to check is whether the dust storm had enough force to displace dirt into your HVAC system. Often times, just a thorough cleaning can resolve such issues. However, in more severe cases where mold has grown or there's significant buildup, it may need a deeper clean and even sanitization.
