Is duct cleaning needed after stormy weather?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the rain last month, I noticed a strange, lingering odor in our bedroom. It's especially noticeable when we first open the windows after cleaning up from a downpour. The bedroom is on the second floor and has a small window overlooking the garden. My children have been complaining of coughing fits at night, and I’m worried it might be related to mold or dust that got into the ducts during the heavy rain. Has anyone here experienced similar issues after storms and had their ducts cleaned?

Is duct cleaning needed after stormy weather?
Well, i've seen my fair share of issues arise from the aftermath of heavy rains, and it sounds like you're dealing with something similar. After such events, moisture can seep into buildings through small gaps or even through structural weaknesses, leading to mold growth in hidden areas - including your ductwork. This is particularly common in dubai and uae where we experience significant weather changes. The bedroom you mentioned on the second floor, with its garden view window, could be a prime spot for moisture intrusion. The coughing fits that your children are experiencing might indeed have an environmental cause, so it's prudent to investigate further. In the uae, there are no specific regulations mandating duct cleaning after storms, but it is highly recommended in such cases. Professional inspection and potential duct cleaning can help identify any mold growth or dust accumulation caused by the storm. To address this issue effectively, i'd suggest reaching out to a professional environmental inspection and remediation company like ours.
