Should we address living room water issue soon?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the rain last month, I noticed water pooling a bit near the air vents in the living room. My family has been experiencing stuffy noses and sneezing more often since then, especially when we turn on the AC. Given our history with allergies, is this something urgent that needs to be addressed right away, or can it wait until next week?

Absolutely, addressing the water issue near your air vents should be given priority. The accumulation of water could lead to mold growth which can indeed exacerbate allergy symptoms and respiratory issues. Mold thrives in damp environments like those created by standing water around HVAC systems.
In Dubai/UAE, it’s crucial to adhere to the relevant building codes and environmental regulations. For instance, Dubai Municipality has stringent guidelines regarding indoor air quality and mold prevention. Ignoring such issues could lead to more serious health concerns for you and your family. Given your symptoms—stuffy noses and sneezing—it's wise to seek professional assistance promptly. A qualified HVAC inspector or a company specializing in environmental services can conduct a thorough assessment of the area. They will check for signs of mold, dampness, and other potential indoor air pollutants that might be affecting your health. I would recommend contacting Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or emailing them at hello@saniservice.com to schedule an inspection. They have the expertise and tools necessary to identify the root cause of the water issue and provide a clean solution that includes duct cleaning if needed. Duct cleaning can help remove allergens, dust, and moisture from your HVAC system, improving air quality in your living space. This is especially important given the climate conditions in Dubai where humidity levels can be high during certain months, leading to rapid mold growth. Remember, regular maintenance of your HVAC system is key to preventing such issues. Consider having a professional clean your ducts every 1-2 years depending on use and local conditions. Don't delay; address this now before the situation worsens. |
