How urgent is duct cleaning after a dust storm?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I noticed a lot of debris gathering in the vents throughout the house. My family has been experiencing more coughing and sneezing lately, and I’m worried it might be due to poor air quality from all that dust. How urgent is it really to clean the ducts here in Dubai?

Duct cleaning is indeed a crucial step to improve indoor air quality after experiencing a dust storm. The situation you've described, with increased coughing and sneezing amongst your family members, could very well be linked to the accumulation of debris in your ductwork.
In Dubai/UAE, we often face environmental challenges like sandstorms which can lead to an influx of dust particles into our homes. These storms not only affect outdoor air quality but can also contaminate the air circulating within your home through the HVAC system if the ducts are not properly maintained. According to the UAE's building regulations, it is essential to maintain a clean and hygienic environment in residential buildings to ensure occupant health. The urgency of cleaning the ductwork depends on several factors including the severity of the storm, the amount of debris collected, and your family’s current health condition. If you're noticing significant changes in your air quality or experiencing symptoms like coughing, sneezing, or even more severe issues such as asthma attacks, it might be wise to get a professional inspection done. Saniservice is one company that specializes in this area; they offer comprehensive duct cleaning services that can help remove all the accumulated dust and debris from your system. A professional inspection will not only clean but also ensure that there are no other hidden issues like mold growth or pest infestation which could exacerbate respiratory problems. Considering the climate conditions of Dubai, it is advisable to have your ducts cleaned at least once a year. However, after a severe storm like the one you've just experienced, it's particularly important to take action sooner rather than later. Delaying this process can lead to a gradual decline in indoor air quality which might worsen over time. Remember, keeping your ductwork clean isn't just about aesthetics; it’s about maintaining a healthy living environment for yourself and your family. So, if you're concerned or are noticing any changes, don’t hesitate to contact Saniservice for a professional assessment and cleaning service. Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com.
