Should I worry about a draft behind the closet?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a slight draft coming from behind the closet in our new villa. It’s a bit concerning since we’ve only had it for two years, and now that winter is setting in, I’m worried about potential leaks or moisture issues. Should I hire professionals to seal those ducts, or could this be something minor?

Absolutely, you should be concerned about the draft behind your closet. In the UAE, especially during winter months like these, any draft can significantly impact your home's energy efficiency and comfort levels. Given that your villa is only two years old, it’s quite uncommon to have such issues unless there are underlying problems with insulation or ductwork.

In Dubai and the UAE in general, regulations around building standards and indoor environmental quality are stringent but not immune to occasional lapses. It would be wise to seek professional assistance to ensure everything is up to par. A slight draft could indicate a bigger issue like ducts that aren’t properly sealed which can lead to moisture issues or even mold growth – something particularly concerning in our humid climate.

I recommend getting in touch with professionals who specialize in environmental inspection and remediation. They will be able to conduct a thorough assessment of your ductwork, identify any leaks or gaps, and provide necessary sealing services to ensure that your home remains airtight and energy-efficient.
