How urgent is duct cleaning with mold?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent damp smell lingering in the bedroom on the second floor of our new apartment. The AC filters were also very dirty with mold spots, which is unusual since we changed them two months ago. How urgent should we be about having the ducts cleaned?

Duct cleaning is indeed vital for maintaining indoor air quality and addressing issues like the mold odour you're experiencing. In dubai and uae, the humidity levels can lead to rapid growth of molds inside AC ducts, especially after heavy rains or when there's a lot of moisture in the atmosphere. Given that your ac filters are showing signs of mold despite being replaced recently, it suggests that the problem might be deeper within the ductwork.
UAE regulations do not mandate regular duct cleaning, but they strongly recommend it for properties where you observe issues like odours, visible mold growth or poor indoor air quality. The damp smell and dirty AC filters point towards a need to have your ducts inspected and cleaned without delay. Mold can produce allergens that affect people's health especially those with asthma, allergies, and other respiratory conditions. Given the unusual situation in your apartment, it would be wise to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection and cleaning service. They will ensure thorough cleaning of all ductwork, check for any leaks that could be causing moisture build-up, and advise on necessary remediation steps. Remember, delayed action can lead to further mold growth and possibly structural damage to your property. Early intervention not only improves indoor air quality but also prevents future issues from arising. |
