Is duct cleaning urgent due to moisture?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the rain last month, I noticed water pooling a bit near the air conditioning unit outside my balcony. My family has also had more coughs and colds than usual lately, which has got me wondering if there might be mold or dust issues in the ducts from all that moisture. How urgent is it to have the ducts cleaned here in Dubai?

Duct cleaning can indeed become urgent especially under certain conditions like the one you've described. In Dubai and UAE, it's quite common to experience humidity fluctuations, particularly after heavy rainfall. The moisture near your AC unit could lead to mold growth within the ductwork if not addressed promptly.
In the UAE, there aren't specific regulations mandating duct cleaning but it is highly recommended for maintaining indoor air quality and preventing health issues like coughs and colds. Given that your family has been more prone to these illnesses recently, it would be wise to get a professional inspection done. Mold and dust can thrive in damp conditions and can seriously affect the air you breathe. It's important to act quickly as moisture can lead to faster mold growth, which is particularly harmful due to its potential allergic reactions and respiratory issues. Mold remediation experts can assess your duct system for any signs of mold or excessive dust. They'll use specialized equipment like a camera to inspect inside the ducts without needing to open them up. If you suspect there might be an issue, I would recommend contacting Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for a professional evaluation and cleaning service. Early action can prevent bigger problems down the line. Remember that regular maintenance is key in keeping your home environment healthy. Even if you don't have immediate concerns, consider scheduling an annual inspection by experts to ensure your HVAC system and ducts are performing optimally. |
