Could poor ductwork cause my symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last month, I noticed a persistent cough and itchy eyes when I cleaned out the bathroom. The vents in my apartment seem to be releasing a lot of dust particles even after regular cleaning. Could this be due to poor ductwork? Should I consider getting my ducts professionally cleaned to improve our air quality and maybe alleviate these symptoms?

Could poor ductwork cause my symptoms?

Absolutely, it is very possible that your symptoms could be linked to poor ductwork. In the UAE and specifically in Dubai, where we often experience dust storms or high pollen counts, issues within the HVAC system can significantly impact indoor air quality (IAQ). Ducts are a common culprits when it comes to airborne particles as they carry air throughout the entire house. If the ductwork isn't properly maintained, it can become a breeding ground for dust, allergens, and even mold.

In Dubai, we have seen many cases where tenants experience similar symptoms such as persistent coughing, itchy eyes, or respiratory issues post cleaning due to poorly maintained ducts. These systems need regular inspection and cleaning, especially after dusty weather events like the recent storms you mentioned.

It's important that you consider having a professional come out to assess your ductwork as soon as possible. Local regulations in Dubai may require certain inspections or maintenance schedules for commercial buildings, though residential homes might have less stringent requirements. However, it is still highly recommended to keep a clean and healthy indoor environment, particularly given the climate conditions.
