Is mold in ducts urgent with family's respiratory issues?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last week, I noticed a distinct smell of mold in the bedroom on the second floor. The windows were closed for days due to sand everywhere, and now I’m worried about potential issues with the ducts. How urgent is it to have this checked, especially since my family has been showing signs of respiratory issues?

Yes, the presence of mold in your ducts is definitely urgent given the symptoms your family has been experiencing. Mold growth within the HVAC system can be a serious health concern, especially for individuals with respiratory issues or allergies. The UAE's environmental regulations, particularly those outlined by the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE), emphasize proper maintenance to ensure indoor air quality.

In Dubai, the dust storms are common occurrences, but they often bring in not just sand, but also mold spores that can settle within your ductwork. With windows closed for days due to the storm, it’s likely these conditions provided an ideal environment for mold growth.

Given this scenario, I strongly recommend a professional inspection of your HVAC system and ducts as soon as possible.
