Should I urgently seal ducts to prevent mold?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy storms we had last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in my living room, especially around where the ducts enter the ceiling. My family has been complaining of runny noses and coughing, and it’s making me worried about mold growth or other issues. How urgent is it to seal those ducts properly?

Absolutely urgent! Sealing ducts properly can make a significant difference in your indoor environment. With the recent storms we've experienced here in Dubai, it's crucial to ensure that moisture isn't finding its way into your living space through those entry points. The dampness you're noticing around where the ducts enter your ceiling is definitely not normal and should be addressed without delay.
In the UAE, specifically in areas like Dubai, regulations emphasize the importance of maintaining indoor air quality (IAQ) to prevent health issues such as runny noses and coughing that have been reported by your family. The persistent dampness you're experiencing could indeed lead to mold growth, which is a serious concern not just due to its impact on IAQ but also because it can cause respiratory issues for you and your loved ones. Given the situation, I strongly recommend reaching out to a professional for an inspection of both your ductwork and overall indoor environment. Our team at Saniservice can conduct a thorough assessment to identify any leaks or entry points for moisture that might be contributing to these problems. We use state-of-the-art equipment to pinpoint exactly where moisture is entering and provide effective solutions. Additionally, sealing the ducts properly isn't just about stopping water; it's also about maintaining optimal air flow which is key in controlling humidity levels within your home. This can help reduce the likelihood of mold growth significantly. Don’t hesitate!
