Should I clean ducts professionally due to damp smell?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a strange damp smell lingering in the hallway near the kitchen. The AC filters are fairly clean, but it still feels like there’s something not right. Should I consider hiring professionals to clean the ducts? What can typically be expected in terms of cost and time for such a service in Dubai?

Absolutely, considering the damp smell in your hallway near the kitchen, it's definitely worth looking into having your ducts professionally cleaned. In dubai and uae, humidity can sometimes create conditions that promote mold growth even when you have clean filters. The air conditioning system acts as a central hub for airflow throughout your home, and if there's any issue with its cleanliness or efficiency, it could result in such odors.

The smell of dampness often indicates the presence of moisture, which is a prime condition for mold to thrive. This can be particularly concerning due to the climate we experience here. Mold not only affects air quality but can also pose health risks, especially to those with allergies and respiratory issues.

Typically, you can expect professional duct cleaning in dubai to cost between dirham 1500 and 3000 depending on the size of your home and the extent of work needed. The service usually takes a few hours to complete but this may vary based on your specific situation.

To ensure thoroughness, it's highly recommended that you have a professional inspection done first. This will help identify if there is indeed mold or other issues within the ducts before proceeding with cleaning. Professionals can use specialized tools and techniques to both inspect and clean the ductwork effectively.

Remember, ignoring such smells could lead to further health risks and property damage over time. So, don’t hesitate to contact a professional service like Saniservice for a consultation and quote. Their number is 800-MOLDS or you can email them at hello@saniservice.com. Early action can prevent bigger problems down the line.

Taking care of your indoor environment now will not only improve air quality but also save you from potential health issues and costly repairs in the future.
