How much does duct cleaning removal cost?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy rainstorm we had last month, I noticed a lingering damp smell in the living room. My family has been complaining of itchy eyes and sneezing fits since then, especially when the air conditioner is on full blast. Could this be due to mold growth from the ducts? What should I do about cleaning them?

Duct cleaning removal costs can vary depending on several factors. These include the size of your ductwork system, the extent of dirt and debris inside, whether there are signs of mold growth which require special attention, and the type of cleaning service you opt for.
In Dubai/UAE, the average cost for a basic duct cleaning could range from AED 100 to AED 300 per linear meter. However, if your system is larger or there's suspected mold, this price can increase significantly. It’s important to note that specialized mold removal might add an extra AED 500 - AED 2,000 to the total cost. Given the circumstances you've described—seeing a damp smell and experiencing symptoms like itchy eyes and sneezing fits—it would be wise to have your ducts inspected by a professional. This is especially true if there's been any recent weather incidents that could have compromised your HVAC system, such as the heavy rainstorm you mentioned. A professional inspection can identify whether mold or other contaminants are present and advise on the best course of action. This might include a thorough cleaning, decontamination procedures for mold, or even a replacement of certain sections of your ductwork if necessary. Saniservice.com offers their services in this area and could be worth considering. You can call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) to schedule an inspection or get a quote. Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for the health of your family, particularly during and after weather events that may introduce moisture into your home. Always ensure you're working with licensed professionals who adhere to local regulations such as those set by the Dubai Municipality to guarantee safety and effectiveness in any cleaning or remediation work. |
