Is duct cleaning urgent post-dust storm?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last week, I noticed a significant increase in coughing from both my kids, especially in their bedroom. The air feels unusually stale even with the AC on high. Given that this is Dubai where sand storms are frequent, how urgent is it to get our ducts cleaned?

Duct cleaning is indeed a serious consideration post-dust storm, especially in the context of your situation. The recent sandstorm you experienced has likely introduced a significant amount of particulate matter into your home's air ducts and HVAC system. This can lead to poor indoor air quality (IAQ), which might explain the increase in coughing from your kids.

In Dubai, we often face frequent dust storms that can carry fine particles like dust, sand, and even mold spores. These particles can accumulate within the ductwork over time, contributing to a variety of health issues such as respiratory problems, allergies, and asthma symptoms. Given these conditions, it might be wise to have your ducts inspected and cleaned by professionals.

UAE regulations for indoor air quality are stringent, and maintaining clean air ducts is part of ensuring a healthy environment in your home or office. Local guidelines often recommend regular maintenance of HVAC systems to prevent the spread of contaminants that can exacerbate respiratory issues during dusty periods.

For serious cases like yours, it would be prudent to schedule a professional inspection. This will allow an expert to thoroughly assess the current state of your ducts and make necessary recommendations for cleaning or other remedial actions. At Saniservice, we offer comprehensive duct cleaning services tailored specifically to Dubai's climate conditions, ensuring that all particles are removed effectively.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial, especially during times when dust storms can compromise it. To get in touch with us, you can call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a consultation and quote on duct cleaning services.
