Should I check ducts for dust leaks?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms last month, I noticed a persistent fine layer of dust settling on things in my bedroom located on the second floor. It’s unusual because I don’t have any visible leaks or open windows, and it happens even after cleaning everything thoroughly. Should I be concerned about ducts in my apartment, and what could be the cost of hiring professionals to check them?

Absolutely, checking the ducts for dust leaks is definitely something to consider. In dubai / UAE, our climate can be quite harsh and variable; sudden changes like heavy dust storms can exacerbate issues within your home's ventilation system. If you're noticing a fine layer of dust settling on things in your bedroom, especially given that there are no visible leaks or open windows, it could very well be an indication of an issue with the ductwork.

In the uae, building regulations like those found under the Dubai Municipality (DM) guidelines require regular maintenance and inspection of HVAC systems to ensure they're functioning correctly. Dust accumulation in your ducts can not only lead to discomfort but also pose health risks by spreading allergens throughout your home.

Given that you've already noticed an unusual dust layer, it's wise to call in professionals for a thorough inspection. These experts will be able to identify any potential leaks or blockages and recommend appropriate cleaning or repairs. The cost of such services can vary, with prices typically starting from around dirhams 500 to 1000 for basic inspections up to several thousand depending on the extent of work needed.

To ensure peace of mind and good indoor air quality, don't hesitate to contact professionals who specialize in this area. You could try calling 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 or email hello@saniservice.com for a quote and appointment. Remember, it's always better to catch these issues early rather than letting them worsen over time.

Keep in mind that regular maintenance and inspections are key to maintaining good indoor environmental quality in dubai homes. If you do decide to go with an inspection, make sure the company adheres to uae standards and has a proven track record of reliability and competence.
