After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent damp smell lingering in the hallway near our kitchen. The vents are starting to get dusty too, which makes me worry about mold growth. Should I try cleaning the ducts myself or should I call a professional?

Cleaning ducts can be a complicated task and is generally better left to the professionals. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, there are specific regulations concerning indoor air quality that you should consider. The Dubai Municipality has strict guidelines on maintaining the cleanliness of HVAC systems to prevent health issues and mold growth.
If you've noticed a damp smell near your kitchen vents after the recent rain, it's crucial to address this issue promptly to avoid potential mold problems. Mold thrives in moist environments and can significantly affect indoor air quality. Given that the vents are getting dusty too, there’s a good chance that water-damaged sections of ductwork could be contributing to the smell. While DIY duct cleaning might seem like an economical option, it's not always efficient or safe. Professionals have specialized tools and equipment designed for deep-cleaning HVAC systems. They can identify areas where moisture is accumulating and take preventive measures against mold growth. Additionally, they'll ensure that all parts of your ductwork are properly cleaned to a level that meets the local health standards. If you're concerned about cost or simply want peace of mind knowing the job will be done right, I'd strongly recommend calling in a professional.
