Should I worry about damp smell after rain?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy rain last month, I noticed a strange damp smell lingering in the living room. It's not a strong odor, but it’s persistent and makes me worry about mold or mildew. My family has been complaining of coughing fits, and I suspect our AC might be circulating some of these airborne particles. Has anyone else experienced similar issues after rain, and should I consider having my ducts cleaned?

Yea, i totally get ya. After the heavy rains last month, i noticed that damp stench too. It's like a subtle, but persistent smell hanging around my living room. It’s not as strong as the one you get from wet walls or carpets after flooding, but it’s definitely there and it’s making me feel uneasy about mold or mildew. My family has been complaining of coughing fits which could be due to air circulating those airborne particles through our AC system.
Now i know how you feel, i've heard similar concerns from other families in dubai post rain events. The wet weather can create the perfect conditions for mold and mildew growth especially if your HVAC system wasn't properly maintained before the rains hit. In the uae, there are no specific regulations that mandate regular duct cleaning but it's a good practice to keep your indoor air quality at its best. Given the climate in dubai, i would recommend having an inspection done by a professional. They can identify if mold or mildew is present and take steps to remove it before it spreads further. Also, consider calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for a free consultation. They offer expert services like duct cleaning which can help eliminate those pesky airborne particles and improve your family's health. Don't wait until the smell gets worse, act now to ensure you have clean and healthy air in your home. Remember, prevention is key here. Regular maintenance of your HVAC system along with periodic professional inspections can save you from such issues. |
