Could poor ductwork cause these symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely could be! Ductwork that isn't properly maintained can indeed contribute to some of the symptoms you're describing. In Dubai and other parts of the UAE, where humidity levels can sometimes spike, especially after rain like you mentioned, dampness and mold growth in your ducts are a real risk.

Ducts that aren’t cleaned regularly can accumulate dust, debris, and moisture which create ideal conditions for mold to grow. Mold spores can then be circulated through your air conditioning system into the living areas of your home, leading to respiratory issues like coughing and runny noses in sensitive individuals such as kids or those with allergies.

Given the climate in Dubai where we experience high humidity levels post-rain events, it's quite plausible that your symptoms could be related to poor ductwork cleaning. It’s a good idea to get an inspection done by professionals who can assess the condition of your air ducts and identify if there are any issues like mold growth or excessive dust accumulation.

In UAE, according to local regulations, maintaining a clean environment within buildings is crucial for public health. The Dubai Municipality has guidelines on indoor environmental quality which recommend regular cleaning of HVAC systems including ductwork every 1-2 years depending on the usage and conditions.

If you decide to proceed with having your ducts cleaned, I'd strongly suggest contacting a professional service like Saniservice who can provide thorough cleaning services and ensure that your air ducts are restored to their optimal condition. They can also help in identifying any underlying issues that need addressing beyond just cleaning.

Remember, keeping your air ducts clean and free from mold not only improves indoor air quality but also extends the life of your HVAC system.
