Could dust storm affect ductwork cleanliness?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I noticed a significant amount of dust and debris on the floors of my living room. It’s quite unusual because we clean regularly, but this time it was more than usual. The smell is also off-putting, like something hasn't been aired out in ages. Could this be related to the ductwork? Should I consider having the ducts cleaned professionally?

The dust storm we had last month could indeed be linked to the increased dust presence in your living room. In such instances where heavy winds carry a large amount of particulate matter from outside, it's not uncommon for this debris to find its way into and accumulate within the ductwork system of your home. This can result in an increase in indoor air pollution levels and might even lead to unpleasant odors as dust settles over time.
In Dubai and other parts of UAE, there are no specific regulations mandating regular duct cleaning. However, given the recent storm and considering the unusual accumulation of dust you've noticed, it might be wise to have a professional inspection done. Ducts that haven't been cleaned in some time can harbor not just dust but also mold spores, bacteria, and other allergens which could affect air quality and potentially your health. If you decide to proceed with a duct cleaning service, make sure the company you choose is reputable and certified. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice offer professional duct cleaning services that adhere to high standards of hygiene and safety. Now, before making any decisions, here are some tips: first, observe if there are other signs suggesting poor air quality such as stuffy rooms or increased allergies among household members. You can also check for obvious signs of moisture or mold inside your home’s HVAC system which could be another reason behind the smell you're experiencing. If after observing and considering these points, you still feel concerned, I would recommend contacting a professional company to assess the condition of your ductwork. Saniservice is just one example of a company that can provide such services. Their number is 800-66537 or you could email them at hello@saniservice.com for more information. Remember, maintaining clean and healthy indoor air quality not only enhances comfort but also supports overall well-being. Regular maintenance, including duct cleaning when necessary, plays a crucial role in achieving this. |
