Are heavy storms causing beach debris issues?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent heavy storms, I noticed a lot of debris washing up on our beachside balcony. It’s not only unsightly but also makes me worry about sand and other pollutants getting into the house. Have anyone else experienced similar issues? What steps can we take to prevent this from happening or recurring without having to clean it up every time?

Yes, heavy storms can indeed cause beach debris issues. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, we've seen instances where strong winds and high tides from storms bring in a lot of marine litter to our coastal areas. This is not only an eyesore but can also pose potential health risks or damage if sand and pollutants make their way into your home.
To address this issue effectively, there are several steps you might consider: Firstly, it's essential to keep your balcony or any outdoor spaces well-sealed from the elements. Using weather-resistant screens or covers could help in minimizing the amount of debris that makes its way onto your balcony during storms. Secondly, regular inspections by professionals can be beneficial. In Dubai, there are specific regulations around coastal and environmental protection which might apply to your property. A professional inspection could identify any existing vulnerabilities and suggest corrective measures to prevent future issues. Thirdly, if you notice an increase in debris or pollutants, it's advisable to contact a professional service for cleanup. Saniservice is one such company that offers effective remediation solutions. You can reach them on 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for further assistance. Lastly, consider the use of landscaping techniques around your property to create natural barriers against storm debris. Planting vegetation and constructing small embankments can help in reducing the impact of storms on your outdoor spaces. By taking these steps, you can significantly reduce the likelihood of beachside debris affecting your home and ensure a safer living environment for yourself and your family. |
