Could mold be causing our symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent musty smell coming from the vents in my bedroom. My kids have been complaining of coughing fits, especially during the night when we run the air conditioner. Could this be due to mold or other contaminants building up in our ducts? Should I consider having them cleaned soon?

Could mold be causing our symptoms? It's definitely possible. After the rain last month, moisture can indeed encourage mold growth within your ducts especially if they are not well maintained. Mold spores can spread through your air conditioning system and get distributed throughout your home via the vents you mentioned noticing a musty smell from.

In dubai, uae, humidity levels tend to be quite high, making our homes more susceptible to such issues. The coughing fits experienced by your kids during the night are common symptoms of mold exposure, especially when using air conditioning systems which can sometimes increase indoor humidity and create ideal conditions for mold growth.

To confirm if this is indeed the case, i would recommend a professional inspection of your ducts. In dubai, there are specific regulations regarding building maintenance that include guidelines on how often ductwork should be inspected and cleaned to ensure good air quality in residential buildings. A licensed company like ours can provide you with a thorough assessment and clean if necessary.

Remember, maintaining proper indoor environmental quality is crucial for the health of your family. If mold is indeed found or suspected, it's important not to delay addressing the issue as prolonged exposure could lead to more serious health problems.

So, i would suggest reaching out to us at 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com to book an inspection and cleaning if needed. We can help ensure your air is clean and healthy for you and your family in dubai.

By addressing this issue promptly, you'll not only improve the air quality but also prevent potential mold-related health issues for your kids.
