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

After the recent sandstorm, I noticed a strange dry cough in my son’s room, and it smells musty even though we’ve cleaned everything. The air ducts seem to be old and clogged with dust. Should I hire professionals to inspect and clean them, or could this be something minor?

Absolutely, it's wise to consider hiring professionals for inspecting and cleaning your air ducts. In dubai, our environment can be quite harsh, especially after sandstorms. The dust and debris that these storms bring can easily settle within the ductwork of buildings, leading to issues like you're experiencing – a dry cough and musty odors.

In the uae, particularly in dubai, we have strict building codes for indoor air quality (iaq). these regulations ensure that structures are designed with proper ventilation systems to maintain clean and healthy environments. however, over time, ducts can become clogged with dust, mold spores, and other particles, which can significantly affect the air quality inside your home.

Given the symptoms you're noticing in your son's room – a dry cough and mustiness despite thorough cleaning – it’s highly probable that these are signs of poor indoor air quality. While you might think a simple cleaning could solve the problem, accumulated dust and debris in old ducts can be hard to remove effectively without proper tools and techniques.

I’d recommend reaching out to professionals who specialize in environmental inspections and remediation. They have the necessary expertise and equipment to thoroughly clean your ductwork and ensure that it’s functioning properly. In dubai, you could contact a company like Saniservice, where they offer reliable duct cleaning services tailored for local environments.

To get started, you can call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com. They’ll provide an inspection to assess the condition of your ducts and recommend appropriate cleaning procedures based on their findings. This will not only help improve the air quality in your home but also ensure that your family stays healthy during the harsh weather conditions we experience.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial, especially for children who may be more susceptible to respiratory issues. Don’t delay – take action now to protect yourself and your loved ones from potential health risks associated with poor ductwork cleanliness.

Keep an eye out for further signs like increased allergies or asthma symptoms, which could indicate a more serious issue that needs professional attention. By addressing this promptly, you can breathe easier knowing the air in your home is clean and healthy.
