Should I clean vent debris myself or call professionals?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last month, I noticed a lot of debris accumulated in the vents throughout my home, especially in the living room. The smell is quite unpleasant, but more concerning is that my kids have been coughing up a lot lately. Should I attempt to clean this myself or should I call in professionals?

Absolutely, the situation sounds concerning. Given the recent dust storm and your kids' symptoms, it's best to address this issue seriously. Accumulated debris can indeed harbor allergens and bacteria which might trigger respiratory issues especially for children.

In dubai and uae, there are no specific regulations mandating duct cleaning after a dust storm, but it is highly recommended to clean the system thoroughly to ensure optimal indoor air quality. The dust and debris you've noticed could be carrying not just dirt but also pollen, mold spores, or other allergens that can exacerbate respiratory issues.

While you might feel tempted to DIY the task, I'd advise against it for several reasons:

1. Safety: Some materials in your home's ductwork might be difficult to clean without proper knowledge and equipment.
2. Health Concerns: If the debris contains mold or other harmful organisms, handling it could spread contaminants around your home.
3. Complexity: Duct systems can be intricate; professional cleaners know how to navigate and clean all parts of the system effectively.

Professional duct cleaning services are available in dubai and uae. They have the necessary tools, expertise, and safety measures to ensure a thorough clean without causing additional harm. A good service provider will also perform a pre-and post-cleaning air quality test to confirm the effectiveness of their work.

Call 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 or email hello@saniservice.com for a consultation and quotation. They can assess your specific situation, recommend the appropriate cleaning schedule, and ensure that your home's indoor air quality is restored to its best possible state.

Remember, clean ducts lead to better overall health and comfort in your living space, especially during allergy seasons or after storms. It’s worth investing in a professional service for peace of mind and long-term benefits.
