Is duct cleaning urgent for my situation?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent damp smell coming from the vents in my bedroom. My kids have also been complaining of stuffy noses and sneezing fits lately. The AC unit seems to run more frequently than usual too. How urgent is it for me to get the ducts cleaned?

Duct cleaning is indeed urgent for your situation. The persistent damp smell from the vents and increased run time of the AC unit could be indicative of a serious issue like mold growth within the ductwork. Mold thrives in damp, warm environments which are common after rain events, especially in Dubai's climate.

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, air conditioning units play a crucial role during the hot summer months. However, they can also become breeding grounds for allergens and microorganisms if not properly maintained. Given that your kids have been experiencing stuffy noses and sneezing fits, it is highly likely that indoor pollutants are affecting their health.

It's recommended to call in professional duct cleaning services as soon as possible. This will help eliminate any mold colonies and reduce the risk of further respiratory issues for your family. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice can provide comprehensive duct cleaning services which not only clean but also sanitize the air ducts ensuring a healthier indoor environment.

Remember that regular maintenance checks are crucial in maintaining good indoor environmental quality. The UAE building codes and regulations require that HVAC systems be inspected at least once every 5 years to ensure they comply with the standards for indoor air quality, especially after significant weather events like rainfall which can introduce moisture into your home's ventilation system.

Do not delay as a proactive approach towards cleaning your ducts will help improve air quality and may also save you from potential health issues. Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com to book an inspection today. Don’t let the smell linger; act now for a fresher, healthier home environment.
