Could duct cleaning help my family's symptoms?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the rain last month, I noticed a strange odor lingering in our living room, especially when the air conditioning is on. My family has been experiencing stuffy noses and coughs since then, which made me wonder if it could be due to mold or dust in the ductwork. The kids spend most of their time playing in that area too. Have any of you noticed similar issues after rainy weather? Could cleaning our ducts help with these symptoms?

Certainly! The symptoms your family is experiencing could very well be linked to the ductwork in your home. After heavy rains, it’s not uncommon for moisture to accumulate within the HVAC system, leading to mold growth and the spread of dust particles. This can indeed cause respiratory issues such as stuffy noses and coughs, especially among children who spend more time indoors.
In Dubai/UAE, we see similar cases after periods of rainfall. The humid conditions create an ideal environment for molds to thrive inside your ductwork, which then get dispersed into the air every time you turn on your AC or heater. This could be what's causing those unpleasant odors in your living room and your family’s discomfort. Professional duct cleaning can definitely help alleviate these issues. Cleaning removes not only visible dust but also hidden mold spores that are often missed during regular maintenance. In Dubai, regulations require certain standards for HVAC systems to ensure good indoor air quality, so having a certified professional handle the job is crucial. I would recommend reaching out to Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com. They have extensive experience in Dubai and can provide a thorough inspection of your ducts, ensuring they are safe and clean for your family's health. In the meantime, make sure to keep your home well ventilated by opening windows when possible and using fans to circulate fresh air. This might help reduce the concentration of indoor pollutants while you arrange for professional cleaning. Remember, prevention is key—consider scheduling regular maintenance checks every 1-2 years or after significant weather events like heavy rain in Dubai. Hope this helps! |
