Is duct cleaning urgent due to storm?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm we had last week, I noticed a strange smell lingering in our living room. It’s not as bad as when the storm was at its peak, but it’s definitely there, especially after turning on the air conditioning. My kids have been coughing more than usual and I’m worried about allergens. How urgent is it to get the ducts cleaned?

Duct cleaning is indeed something to consider after the heavy dust storm we experienced. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, such storms can deposit a significant amount of particulate matter and allergens into your ductwork. This might explain why you're noticing a lingering smell in your living room, especially when the air conditioning kicks on.
In Dubai, it’s important to note that while there are no specific regulations mandating regular duct cleaning, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for health, especially with kids who seem to be suffering from more coughing. The UAE Health Authority and the Ministry of Community Development recommend professional inspections after severe weather events like dust storms. Given your concerns about allergens and the potential health impacts on your family, it would be wise to have a professional assessment done. This will help determine if there is indeed a buildup in your ducts that needs attention. A thorough inspection can also identify any other issues such as mold growth or pest infestations which might not be immediately obvious. I’d recommend reaching out to a company like ours, Saniservice, who specialize in indoor air quality assessments and remediation services.
