Could duct cleaning cause family illness?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely, family illness could be linked to the duct cleaning process. Ducts in your home can accumulate dust, mold spores, and other allergens over time. When these are disturbed during duct cleaning, they might circulate through the HVAC system causing symptoms like headaches, fatigue, and respiratory issues. In Dubai, UAE, where the climate and environment can facilitate mold growth, this is particularly important to consider.

To properly assess whether your family's health concerns may be linked to duct cleaning or other indoor air quality (IAQ) issues, I recommend contacting a professional service provider who specializes in environmental inspections and remediation. Here at Saniservice, we are well-versed with the local UAE regulations and standards like EN 13788 for HVAC systems.

In Dubai, it's crucial to ensure that the duct cleaning process adheres to the local guidelines. Make sure any company you engage with is licensed and follows the recommended practices. For instance, they should use HEPA-filtered vacuums during the cleaning process to capture tiny particles effectively. Additionally, after cleaning, a thorough inspection of your HVAC system can help identify if there are any remaining issues.

If your symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to seek medical advice from healthcare professionals as well. They might suggest allergy tests or other diagnostic procedures to pinpoint the exact cause.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is key to overall health and comfort. Regular maintenance of your HVAC system, including periodic duct cleaning, can help reduce the presence of allergens in your home.

Taking proactive steps now could prevent future health issues and ensure that you and your family breathe cleaner air.
