Should I hire an expert for my home's air quality issue?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had a few weeks ago, I noticed a strange smell lingering in my bedroom. The AC unit there also seems to be sucking in more dust than usual. My family has been complaining of stuffy noses and itchy eyes lately too. Should I consider hiring an indoor air quality expert to assess the situation or is this something a DIY job can handle?

Absolutely, it's wise to consider hiring an expert for your home's air quality issue. In dubai, we've seen several cases where dust storms can lead to serious indoor air quality (IAQ) problems. The strange smell and increased dust accumulation suggest there might be something more going on than just a temporary inconvenience.

Firstly, the UAE has strict regulations concerning IAQ, especially in commercial buildings but residential areas are not left behind. Dubai Municipality guidelines recommend regular checks for homes too. It's important to ensure that your home meets these standards as they help protect you and your family from health risks.

The symptoms you're experiencing - stuffy noses and itchy eyes - could be indicative of a broader issue, such as mold growth or allergens being spread by your AC unit. Given the recent dust storms, there's an increased risk of particulates and even harmful microorganisms entering your home.

DIY solutions might not cover all bases. For instance, using air purifiers can help but might not address the root cause if it’s due to mold growth or other contaminants. An expert would perform a thorough assessment, identifying sources of contamination and recommending appropriate remediation steps.

I'd recommend reaching out to Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for an inspection. They have extensive experience in this area and can provide you with detailed reports and actionable plans to improve your home's air quality. Remember, the health of you and your family is paramount, so it’s worth investing time and resources into a professional assessment.

Stay proactive; clean air isn't just comfortable—it's essential for good health.
