Should I worry about mold after dust storm?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm we experienced last week, I’ve noticed a persistent musty smell in our living room, especially when the air conditioning is on. My kids have been complaining of coughing fits at night, which makes me worry about potential mold or allergens from the ducts. Have you had any issues like this before and what did you do to address them?

Absolutely, you should be concerned about mold after the dust storm. Dust storms can introduce large amounts of dirt and debris into your home's ventilation system, and in such conditions, mold growth is highly probable.
In dubai/uae, post-storm situations often see an increase in airborne particles that can settle within HVAC systems. These particulates provide a medium for mold spores to thrive, leading to potential health issues especially among children who are more susceptible to allergens. Given the symptoms your kids are experiencing and the persistent musty smell, it’s crucial to consider having a professional inspection done. Our company offers thorough duct cleaning services that adhere to local regulations like those stipulated by the Dubai Municipality. They also provide air quality testing which can help identify if mold or other contaminants have been introduced into your home's ventilation system. Ducts should be thoroughly cleaned and inspected every few years, but especially after events like dust storms. This not only helps in removing accumulated dirt but also prevents blockages that could affect the efficiency of your HVAC system. Our team utilizes advanced equipment to ensure a deep clean and can even provide remediation services if mold is detected. Don’t hesitate to contact us at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for more information on our services or to schedule an inspection. Early action could prevent further health issues and ensure your family's comfort and well-being during these changing weather conditions. Remember, regular maintenance of your HVAC system is key in maintaining indoor air quality, particularly after events that may introduce contaminants into the air. |
