How much does indoor air removal cost?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy smoke from the recent building renovation next door, I’ve noticed a persistent acrid smell lingering inside my apartment. Even with the windows closed and the AC on, the air doesn’t seem to clear up. Should I be worried about long-term health effects or is this something that can be managed myself?

Indoor air removal cost can vary significantly based on the severity of the issue and the specific methods employed. In dubai/UAE, you might be looking at a range from a few hundred dirhams for basic treatments to thousands for more complex situations. For instance, if it's just a matter of purifying the air with activated carbon filters or using an air purifier, the costs could be as low as 200-300 AED. However, if there are persistent issues like mold growth due to smoke damage, you might need a professional remediation service which can range from 500-1000 AED for basic services up to 4000-8000 AED or more for extensive treatments.

It’s important to note that in the UAE, especially Dubai, we have strict regulations concerning indoor air quality. The Federal Law No. 32 of 2006 on Occupational Health and Safety requires employers to ensure a healthy working environment free from hazards such as smoke, pollutants, and other harmful substances. Given the persistent smell and potential health concerns from recent renovation activities next door, it would be prudent to have your apartment inspected by a professional.

A common issue in this region is the lingering effects of construction dust and smoke. These can lead to respiratory issues and long-term health problems if not addressed properly. A professional inspection will help identify any hidden hazards that might not be visible or detected through basic DIY methods.

If you decide to proceed with an inspection, reach out to Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com. They can provide a detailed assessment and recommend the appropriate actions needed to ensure your indoor air quality is up to standard.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality in Dubai/UAE isn’t just about comfort; it’s crucial for your health and well-being. Don't hesitate to take action if you notice any unusual smells or signs of contamination.
