Should duct cleaning affect my apartment?« Back to Previous Page

Duct cleaning can indeed be a concern for your apartment especially considering the close proximity to another unit that had it done. While there's no direct contamination from duct cleaning alone, it is important to understand what goes on during such a process and how it might impact your living space.

Firstly, the UAE, including Dubai, has regulations regarding indoor air quality (IAQ) which are based on international standards to ensure public health. However, these standards don’t specifically address neighbor-to-neighbor duct cleaning incidents. That being said, if you're noticing any unusual smells, dust, or other signs of disturbance in your home, it would be prudent to take action.

One key precaution is keeping an eye out for any changes in the air quality within your apartment. If you start experiencing symptoms such as sneezing, coughing, or feeling unwell, these could indicate that there might be some airborne particulates entering your space. Regularly checking filters and cleaning them can help mitigate this.

Another practical step would be to ensure good ventilation within your unit. Opening windows when possible can introduce fresh air and dilute any potential contaminants. However, during hot summer months or in very humid conditions, this may not always be advisable due to the risk of increasing internal moisture levels which can lead to mold growth – a problem that our company can help with if needed.

Given these considerations, it might be wise to have your ducts inspected by a professional. This will allow you to know what's actually happening within your system and ensure everything is in order without any unintended cross-contamination from neighboring units. Our team at Saniservice provides comprehensive duct inspection services which can detect issues like mold growth, allergens, or other harmful particles that might not be visible during routine maintenance.
