Should I worry about ducts after a dust storm?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely, after the dust storm we had last month i was worried about what might be lingering in our ducts and their potential impact on indoor air quality. The recent storm can lead to a significant influx of particulate matter and allergens entering your home's HVAC system if not properly addressed. Here’s why you should definitely take action:

Firstly, the UAE's environmental regulations do call for regular maintenance of HVAC systems to ensure optimal performance and safety, especially in areas prone to dust storms. In Dubai, where we've experienced such storms before, it is highly recommended that you get a professional inspection done.

The accumulation of debris, dust, and other particulates over time can indeed pose serious health risks, particularly for children who are more susceptible to respiratory issues. The coughing your kids have been experiencing could be linked to the buildup in your ducts. Professional duct cleaning can significantly reduce these irritants, improving overall air quality.

When you call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com, make sure to inquire about the extent of contamination and what measures they take to ensure thorough cleaning. Look for companies that use HEPA filtration systems during their cleaning process as this can help capture even smaller particulates.

It’s also a good idea to request before-and-after air quality testing if possible. This will give you peace of mind knowing exactly how much of an improvement the cleaning has made. Additionally, consider having your HVAC system checked for any damages caused by the storm, as these could be sources of ongoing issues.

Remember, maintaining clean and healthy indoor air is crucial in Dubai’s climate. Regular inspections and cleanings can prevent future problems and keep your family safe from potential allergens and irritants. Don't delay – take action now to breathe easier!
