Could ductwork debris cause my daughter's cough?« Back to Previous Page

Ductwork debris could indeed be the culprit behind your daughter's persistent cough. In the UAE, particulates and allergens can easily accumulate within the ducts due to various reasons such as construction dust from nearby projects or even seasonal sandstorms like the one that occurred last month. These particles can then get stirred up during air circulation, especially when they run above sleeping areas.

Firstly, it's important to understand how your HVAC system works and where the ductwork is located in relation to her bedroom. In Dubai, as in other regions with high particulate matter, having a properly functioning air filtration system is crucial for maintaining good indoor air quality. However, if the filters are not cleaned or replaced regularly, they can become clogged, allowing more debris into your home.

I recommend contacting a professional service like ours at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or emailing hello@saniservice.com for an inspection and cleaning of your ductwork. We adhere to local regulations such as those set by the Dubai Municipality, ensuring that all procedures are conducted safely and effectively.

During our service visits in Dubai, we use advanced techniques like vacuuming with HEPA filters to capture even the smallest particles. Additionally, we inspect the entire system for any signs of mold or moisture which could be contributing factors to respiratory issues.

For immediate relief while waiting for professional help, consider using a portable air purifier equipped with true HEPA filtration in your daughter’s room. This can temporarily reduce airborne allergens and irritants until the ducts are properly cleaned.

Remember, regular maintenance of your HVAC system is key in preventing such issues from arising. By keeping up with filter changes and occasional professional cleaning, you can significantly improve the indoor air quality in your home.
