Is a duct issue causing my home odor?« Back to Previous Page

Yes, a duct issue could be causing your home odor. In dubai and the uae, it's quite common for humidity levels to increase after rain events which can lead to dampness inside air conditioning systems if they are not properly maintained. The musty smell you're experiencing might indeed be due to mold or mildew growth within the ductwork.

In my experience with home inspections in dubai, i've encountered several cases where neglected ducts have led to unpleasant odors and health issues for residents. it's important to address this issue as soon as possible to ensure your family’s comfort and health.

when you call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com, our team will come over to conduct a thorough inspection of your ductwork. we'll check not just the main air handler but also the supply and return ducts throughout your home. during this process, we might find that the issue is indeed mold growth in areas such as bends or where insulation was compromised by moisture.

if mold is found, we recommend professional cleaning to remove it safely. our procedures comply with local uae standards for indoor air quality maintenance. we'll also check for any signs of water damage or structural issues within the duct system that might need repair before cleaning begins.

after the cleaning process, i suggest scheduling regular maintenance checks every 2-3 years to prevent such issues from reoccurring. this includes inspecting and cleaning filters as well as the interior surfaces of your ductwork.

don't wait until you smell something bad, act now to keep your air clean and fresh. remember, a healthy indoor environment is key for all residents especially with the hot climate we have here in dubai.
