How urgent is duct cleaning needed?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last month, I noticed a persistent dusty smell in the bedroom on the second floor of my apartment. It’s really starting to bother me, especially since my kids have been complaining about coughing at night. How urgent is it to get the ducts cleaned?

Duct cleaning is indeed something to consider especially given the recent dust storms we've experienced. The persistent dusty smell and coughing issues your kids have been having are definite signs that there's an issue within your ductwork. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, it’s not uncommon for airborne particles like dust and allergens to accumulate over time, exacerbated by environmental factors such as sandstorms or even general indoor air quality.

Given the circumstances you've described, it would be prudent to consider professional duct cleaning services. The UAE doesn't have strict regulations on how often ducts should be cleaned but health and safety guidelines suggest that regular maintenance can significantly improve your living environment’s air quality. In fact, depending on the location of your apartment and its proximity to construction sites or other sources of dust, it may be necessary more frequently.

If you suspect the issue is serious, a professional inspection would help determine the extent of contamination and guide appropriate remediation steps. This can be particularly crucial if there are signs of mold growth or if you're dealing with persistent respiratory issues among your family members.

To address this situation effectively, I recommend reaching out to a reputable company that specializes in environmental inspections and duct cleaning services in Dubai. Companies like Saniservice (contact them at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com) can provide detailed assessments of your ductwork and offer tailored solutions based on their findings.

Acting promptly could not only alleviate the current issues but also prevent future complications that may arise from prolonged exposure to poor air quality. Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for everyone’s health, especially with children who are more susceptible to respiratory problems.

So, don't wait; take action now to ensure a healthier living environment for your family.
