Is persistent dust smell normal after storm?

Absolutely not! After the heavy dust storm we experienced last month, it's crucial to ensure that your air quality is back to a healthy standard. In the UAE, especially during such storms, it’s common for dust to be kicked up and settle in areas where airflow isn't optimal. However, a persistent dusty smell shouldn’t persist even after windows have been opened for airing out.

I've encountered similar issues from clients before who were under the impression that their air conditioning system was already serviced this spring. But you see, servicing doesn't necessarily guarantee complete dust removal if there are hidden pockets in your ductwork where dirt can accumulate over time. The storm might have just served as a trigger for these particles to start circulating again.

It's highly recommended to conduct a professional inspection of your HVAC system and ducts, especially after such an event. In the UAE, regulations like the Federal Law No. 20 of 2016 on Building Codes and Standards ensure that buildings maintain proper air quality standards. Non-compliance can lead to health issues and complaints from tenants or occupants.

If you're concerned about the dust smell in your living room, I'd suggest reaching out to Saniservice for a thorough inspection. Our team uses advanced equipment like thermal imaging cameras and high-volume low-pressure (HVLP) vacuum systems to clean your ducts effectively. We also offer detailed reports on our findings and recommendations for maintenance.

Call 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule an inspection today. Don't ignore this issue; it could be more serious than just a lingering smell, especially if you have young children or elderly family members who might be affected by poor air quality.

Remember, keeping your home's environment clean and healthy is key!
