Is duct cleaning needed after dust storms?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I noticed a persistent dusty smell lingering in our living room. It’s especially noticeable when someone opens a window or turns on the fan. My kids have been complaining of coughing fits too, which has got me worried about the air quality in the house. Has anyone else experienced this issue after storms and had their ducts cleaned?

Absolutely, duct cleaning could be necessary after dust storms, especially in our region. The heavy storms can kick up significant amounts of dust and debris that can get into your home's HVAC system. Once inside the ductwork, these particles can circulate throughout your living spaces, contributing to a dusty smell and potentially affecting air quality. In Dubai and other parts of the UAE, such conditions are not uncommon post-storms.
According to local regulations in the UAE, it’s important to ensure that your indoor environment is clean and healthy, particularly after adverse weather events. The Dubai Health Authority (DHA) recommends regular maintenance of HVAC systems, including duct cleaning, especially if you notice a persistent smell or discomfort among family members like coughing fits. If you're experiencing these issues in your home, it might be wise to have a professional inspection done. At Saniservice, we recommend scheduling a thorough inspection by certified professionals who can assess the condition of your ductwork and advise on necessary cleaning or repairs. Our team is experienced with local conditions and can provide a detailed report along with recommendations for improving air quality. Dust storms in our region often deposit fine particulates that are particularly harmful when inhaled, especially for children.
