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

After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I noticed a lot of debris trapped in the vents of our two-story villa. The smell isn't bad, but it’s there, and my kids have been complaining about coughing more than usual since then. Should I consider hiring professionals to clean the ducts or is this something I can handle myself?

Absolutely, the dust storm that occurred last month could have caused quite an accumulation of debris within your ductwork. Given the conditions in Dubai and the UAE, where dust storms are common, it’s a wise move to consider professional duct cleaning.

Firstly, let's talk about the regulations. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, there aren't strict guidelines specifically for duct cleaning as they exist in some other regions. However, what is key is ensuring that any service provider adheres to best practices and standards that can ensure your air quality stays up to mark.

Cleaning vents yourself might be tempting, but it’s not recommended due to the potential health risks. Dust, debris, and allergens can accumulate over time and could pose respiratory issues for you and your family, especially with kids complaining of coughing more than usual. Professional duct cleaners have the necessary equipment and expertise to effectively remove these contaminants without disturbing them.

Professional service providers are equipped with advanced tools such as vacuum systems designed specifically for air duct cleaning. They can also perform a thorough inspection to ensure that there aren't any hidden issues that might need addressing. These inspections include checking for mold, vermin infestations, or other health hazards which could have developed during the storm.

In Dubai, companies like Saniservice are known for their expertise in this area. If you decide to go down this route, consider calling 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 or emailing hello@saniservice.com to schedule a consultation. They can assess the condition of your ductwork and provide a tailored cleaning plan.

Remember, regular maintenance is crucial for indoor air quality in Dubai’s climate conditions. While it might seem like an investment now, preventative measures can save you from bigger issues down the line.

Taking these steps will not only improve the cleanliness and air quality of your home but also potentially enhance the overall comfort and health of your family.
