Could duct debris cause allergy symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had this spring, I noticed a lot of debris stuck in the vents throughout our two-story villa. My family has also been experiencing more allergy symptoms lately, and I’m wondering if it could be related to the buildup in the ducts. Should I consider hiring professional duct cleaners, or is this something I can handle myself?

Duct debris sure can cause allergy symptoms. In dubai and the UAE, we have seen a significant increase in dust storms that can carry all sorts of particles into homes like pollen, mold spores, dust mites, pet dander, and other allergens. When these get stuck inside your ductwork, they can circulate through your air conditioning system and release them back into your living space.

In dubai, it's not uncommon to have two-story villas where the upper floors may be more susceptible to dust accumulation in the vents due to less frequent cleaning or maintenance. This can lead to a noticeable increase in allergy symptoms like sneezing, coughing, runny nose, and red eyes, especially for those with existing allergies.

Now, considering your situation, it would be wise to have your ducts inspected by professionals. The UAE doesn't have specific regulations mandating regular duct cleaning, but the health benefits of keeping your air system clean are substantial. Professional duct cleaners in dubai use specialized equipment like vacuum systems and brushes designed to effectively remove debris and ensure proper airflow.

If you decide to go ahead with professional inspection, give us a call at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for an appointment. Our team can assess your system's condition and recommend the best course of action based on our years of experience in the region. Regular maintenance isn't just about cleaning; it also includes checking for signs of mold growth, which is a serious concern here due to the warm climate.

In the meantime, if you're uncomfortable waiting for an appointment or want to try basic cleaning yourself, make sure to follow safety guidelines. Wear protective clothing and use appropriate tools like a long-handled brush or vacuum cleaner that can reach deep into the ducts without causing damage. Remember though, DIY isn't always as thorough and may not address all issues.

Lastly, ensure your HVAC system is serviced regularly by licensed professionals. This can help prevent future buildup and keep your indoor air quality at its best.
