Should I clean mold myself or call a pro?« Back to Previous Page

The situation you described sounds quite concerning. Given the recent dust storm and the symptoms your family is experiencing, it's very plausible that there could be some issues within the AC system or ductwork of your home. In the UAE, especially in Dubai, where our climate can get quite harsh with sandstorms, cleaning out accumulated dirt from ducts is crucial for maintaining both indoor air quality and the efficiency of your HVAC systems.

While you might feel inclined to give it a go yourself, I'd highly recommend calling in professional services such as 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com. Ductwork can be complex and requires specific equipment to clean effectively without causing damage. Professionals have access to the right tools and expertise to properly assess and address any issues you might have.

Cleaning ducts yourself could potentially lead to more problems if not done correctly, like spreading dust throughout your home or even damaging parts of the system. Additionally, in the UAE, there are regulations around indoor air quality that professionals can adhere to, ensuring compliance with local standards.

If after a professional inspection and cleaning you still notice issues such as unusual warmth from the AC unit, persistent stuffiness, or sneezing, it might be wise to consider further investigation into your HVAC system. Sometimes, these symptoms could indicate deeper problems like mold growth, which can have serious health impacts, particularly in children and those with allergies or asthma.

So, if you're looking for peace of mind, comfort, and the assurance that your indoor air quality is top-notch, professional duct cleaning services are definitely the way to go. Your family’s health and well-being should be a priority, especially after such an intense weather event as a dust storm.
