How urgent is duct cleaning with persistent odor?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I noticed a lingering musty odor in my bedroom, especially when the air conditioning is on. The filters seem clean, but the smell persists. How urgent do you think it is to have the ducts cleaned?

Duct cleaning is indeed a pressing issue especially after such dusty storms. Given the musty smell you're experiencing, it's quite possible that dust and debris have accumulated within your ductwork, leading to this odor. In Dubai/UAE, we often experience similar weather conditions which can cause an influx of particulates into our homes.

Now, considering UAE regulations, it is mandatory for commercial establishments to undergo regular maintenance checks and cleaning procedures for their HVAC systems. While domestic properties are not legally required to do so, the health and comfort of your family should be a priority. The lingering smell suggests that there might be more than just dust; mold growth could also be an issue due to moisture trapped within the ducts.

I'd recommend scheduling a professional inspection by contacting us at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com. Our team will assess your ductwork and provide you with a detailed report on the condition of your system, highlighting any areas that need immediate attention. We can also advise on proper maintenance schedules to prevent such issues in the future.

Dust storms are not uncommon here, but they do pose significant risks if not properly addressed. Regular cleaning helps maintain indoor air quality and ensures your family’s health is protected against potential allergens and pollutants. Don’t let this smell continue; take action now to ensure a healthier home environment for you and your loved ones.
