Should I clean kitchen exhaust duct mold myself?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a lot of water damage in my kitchen exhaust duct. It’s been pretty smelly ever since, and it seems like there's some mold growing inside. Should I hire professionals to clean this up, or is there a way for me to do it myself?

Cleaning kitchen exhaust duct mold yourself can be risky and may not fully address the issue. In Dubai/UAE, there are specific regulations regarding indoor air quality and building maintenance that you should adhere to. If you've noticed water damage and smells, it’s best to call in professionals for a thorough inspection.

Firstly, let's talk about why DIY might not cut it. Mold can be harmful if disturbed improperly; spores can easily spread causing respiratory issues and other health problems. Moreover, your exhaust duct is likely to have more than just mold – the water damage may also lead to bacterial growth or even structural issues that need expert attention.

Saniservice offers professional duct cleaning services in Dubai and across the UAE. Our team will carefully assess the extent of the problem, clean the ducts effectively using advanced equipment, and ensure everything is safe for your family’s health. Remember, while mold can be cleaned with a mixture of bleach and water, this only treats the surface; it doesn't address underlying issues like moisture.

It's also important to identify and fix the source of the leak or water ingress in your kitchen exhaust duct. If left unresolved, repeated exposure to water could lead to more extensive damage and ongoing health risks. Saniservice can help with that too – they will not only clean but also provide recommendations on how to prevent future occurrences.
