Should I clean ducts myself or hire pros?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last month, I noticed a lot of debris in the vents throughout the house, especially in the kitchen. The smell is pretty strong, like moldy leaves, and it’s been lingering despite frequent cleaning. Should I try to clean the ducts myself or should I hire professionals?

Absolutely, i'd advise seeking the assistance of professionals for duct cleaning. dust storms can indeed bring in significant debris and allergens that can accumulate within your ventilation system. in dubai, due to its desert climate, it's common to experience high levels of particulates like dust, pollen, and even sand particles.

in the uae specifically, regulations do not mandate regular duct cleaning but emphasize maintaining a clean environment to ensure good indoor air quality (iaq). however, given the recent heavy dust storm, having your ducts professionally inspected and cleaned is highly recommended. this will not only improve the air you breathe at home but also help in preventing potential health issues that can arise from these airborne contaminants.

when considering professional duct cleaning services, look for companies who adhere to local standards and guidelines. in dubai, saniservice provides comprehensive inspection and remediation services, including duct cleaning. they are known for their expertise and use of state-of-the-art equipment which ensures thorough cleaning and minimizes disturbance to your household.

the process typically involves a detailed inspection of the ductwork, followed by using specialized vacuums and brushes to remove debris from deep within the system. this can take care of not only visible dust but also those pesky moldy leaves smell that you're experiencing now. it’s crucial to get this done before any potential mold growth sets in.

if you decide to go for a professional service, make sure they are certified and insured to protect your home from damage during the process. also, inquire about their methods of ensuring no cross-contamination occurs as part of their cleaning procedures.

in conclusion, while it might seem tempting to try duct cleaning yourself due to the recent storm, it's best to leave this task to the experts who can do a thorough job and ensure your home’s air quality remains top-notch. should you require further assistance or want to schedule an inspection, don't hesitate to contact 800-molds or email hello@saniservice.com.
