Should I worry about duct cleaning?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely understand your concern. The dark spots near the AC vent could be due to mold growth and not necessarily duct cleaning activity. In Dubai and UAE, it's important to keep a close eye on air quality as it can significantly impact health, especially for those who suffer from allergies like your daughter.

Mold thrives in damp environments and can spread through HVAC systems if there are issues with moisture control or insufficient maintenance. Regularly inspecting your ducts and vents is crucial. If you suspect mold growth due to the spots, it’s essential to call in a professional for an inspection as soon as possible. We recommend contacting Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or emailing hello@saniservice.com.

In the UAE, it's also important to note that there are specific regulations and standards such as EN 13384-2:2003 which apply to air duct cleaning. This standard helps ensure that any professional service adheres to safety guidelines and proper practices for maintenance and cleaning of HVAC systems in residential and commercial buildings.

If the mold issue is confirmed, professional remediation services are recommended. These experts can assess the extent of the problem, provide a detailed plan, and execute it with appropriate measures like dehumidification and thorough cleaning processes. Regular maintenance should be part of your routine to prevent future occurrences.

Lastly, keep an eye on indoor humidity levels; maintaining them between 30-50% can significantly reduce mold growth potential. Also, ensure that any repairs or maintenance work done is up to the local standards set by the government and industry bodies like EN13384-2:2003.

Remember, keeping your home’s air quality in check can greatly benefit everyone's health, especially those with allergies or respiratory issues. If you're unsure about anything, don't hesitate to reach out for professional advice.
