Should I worry about musty smell in living room?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely, the musty smell and coughing from your kids could be linked to poor indoor air quality. In dubai, we've seen similar situations arise after dusty storms. The dust can contain microscopic particles like pollen, mold spores, or even fine debris that gets trapped in your HVAC system's ducts. These ducts are often not cleaned for years and become breeding grounds for bacteria, mold, and other allergens.

First thing to do is check if the air filter needs changing. A clogged filter can cause all sorts of issues including a musty smell. Replacing it with a high-efficiency one might help but won't solve the root problem.

If the issue persists, it's highly recommended you schedule an inspection by professionals. In dubai, the health and safety standards are very strict, so ensuring that your ducts and HVAC system meet them is crucial. Regulations here require regular maintenance to prevent mold growth and other contaminants from becoming airborne.

At Saniservice, we've dealt with similar cases where musty odors were linked back to neglected ductwork. We use specialized equipment like air sampling tools and thermal imaging cameras to pinpoint the source of any issues. Our team then thoroughly cleans the entire HVAC system including the ducts, registers, and coils ensuring no residue or allergens are left behind.

Given the recent dust storms, it’s a good idea to take proactive measures now. Contact us at 800-MOLDS (or call 800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for an inspection. Early action can prevent more serious health issues and costly repairs down the line.
