Are ducts cleaning urgent for our health?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last month, I noticed a lot of dust collecting in the corners of my living room. My daughter has been complaining of an itchy throat and my partner thinks it might be due to the poor air quality in our unit. How urgent is it to get the ducts cleaned, and could this be causing their symptoms?

Duct cleaning is a serious matter, especially considering the conditions of your living space. Given that you've noticed an increase in dust and your family members are experiencing respiratory issues, it's definitely worth looking into. In dubai, uae, we have specific regulations concerning indoor air quality (iaq) standards, which can be found under the emirates health authority guidelines. These rules suggest regular maintenance of HVAC systems to ensure a healthy living environment.

Firstly, let’s consider the impact of poor duct hygiene on your family's well-being. Dust, mold spores, and other allergens can accumulate in your air ducts over time, leading to stuffy noses, itchy throats, and even more serious respiratory problems. Your daughter's symptoms could indeed be related to dust irritation or possibly mold exposure if there’s moisture buildup in the system.

It would be wise to have a professional inspection done by a company that adheres to uae standards for indoor environmental quality. A certified inspector can assess your ductwork, identify any potential issues like blockages or leaks, and provide recommendations tailored to your unit's specific needs. Here at Saniservice, we offer comprehensive duct cleaning services along with other remediation tasks.

If the inspection reveals significant problems, such as mold growth or excessive dust accumulation, immediate action is recommended. Professional duct cleaning can significantly improve air quality and reduce allergy symptoms for you and your family. Just remember to choose a reputable company like us that has experience working in dubai’s climate conditions.

In addition to cleaning, consider other steps like regular maintenance of your HVAC system, ensuring proper ventilation, and keeping moisture levels low to prevent mold growth. You can also use air purifiers to further enhance indoor air quality.
