Do I need professional help for duct cleaning?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm we had last month, my kids and I have been experiencing a persistent cough and stuffy noses, especially when we're in our bedroom. The ducts run through that room and it looks like they might be quite dirty with all the debris from outside. Could this be causing our symptoms?

Absolutely, it sounds like your suspicions might just be spot-on. In the UAE, especially during such dusty storms, it's not uncommon for dust and other particulates to get trapped within ductwork, causing discomfort once they're circulated back into living spaces. The symptoms you've described - persistent coughing and stuffy noses - could indeed be linked to poor indoor air quality due to dirty or clogged HVAC systems.
In Dubai/UAE, it's important to note that the environmental regulations regarding indoor air quality are stringent but not overly complex for laymen like yourself to navigate. However, when dealing with potential allergens or irritants from such storms, a professional inspection and cleaning can be invaluable. These professionals have the expertise and equipment needed to thoroughly clean your ductwork effectively. Given the specific circumstances you're facing, I would strongly recommend reaching out to a reputable company for a thorough assessment. You could call 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 or email hello@saniservice.com; they offer professional duct cleaning services that adhere to local standards and can help improve your indoor environment. Remember, regular maintenance of HVAC systems is crucial in keeping your home's air clean and healthy. Ductwork should be inspected at least once a year for optimal performance, especially after events like the recent dust storm you experienced. Taking proactive steps now could prevent similar issues from arising again and ensure that both you and your family breathe easier in your home. |
