We've been in our Dubai villa for about a year now and I just discovered what looks like duct sealing behind some furniture. Is this dangerous and do I need to move out during treatment?

Duct sealing isn't inherently dangerous but it's crucial to understand the reasons behind it and ensure that any work is done by qualified professionals. In dubai, duct sealing can help improve indoor air quality, reduce energy consumption, and minimize allergens and other particulates from entering your living space.

Upon discovering signs of duct sealing in your villa, it would be wise to have a professional inspection first. This is especially important as per the uae's building codes which emphasize maintaining good indoor environmental quality (ieq). A qualified technician can assess if there are any structural issues or if additional work needs to be done beyond sealing.

If the ducts were improperly sealed or if you're experiencing symptoms like coughing, wheezing, or unusual odors, it might indicate a more serious issue. In such cases, moving out during treatment could be necessary but that's something your professional will advise based on their findings.

To ensure safety and effectiveness, always call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a consultation. They can provide you with reliable services tailored to the specific needs of your villa in dubai.

Remember, while duct sealing is generally safe, it's important to address any underlying issues that might arise from improper installation or maintenance. Regular inspections and keeping an eye on your family’s health can help catch potential problems early.
