Should we clean home ducts urgently?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last month, I noticed a persistent cough in both my daughter and myself when we're at home. The air feels thick and stuffy, especially in the living room where there's an old vent. Given how close it is to allergy season, should we get the ducts cleaned urgently?

Absolutely, the situation sounds quite concerning. With dust storms and allergy season coming up, it's crucial to address any potential issues within your home, especially in the living room where you've noticed a particularly thick feeling in the air. Given that both you and your daughter are experiencing coughing, it might be wise to take proactive steps.

In Dubai and other parts of the UAE, ductwork can accumulate a significant amount of dust, pollen, and even mold spores over time. This buildup can significantly impact indoor air quality (IAQ) and exacerbate respiratory issues, particularly during allergy season. The thick feeling you mentioned could be due to these particles circulating through your HVAC system.

I'd recommend getting the ducts professionally cleaned as soon as possible. In Dubai, there are specific regulations regarding IAQ and mold remediation that professionals must adhere to. Companies like Saniservice, which I'm sure many of you know well, follow stringent guidelines ensuring thorough cleaning processes.

A professional inspection can reveal any hidden issues such as mold growth or significant dust accumulation. Even if no serious problems are found, regular maintenance is essential for maintaining good IAQ in your home. Saniservice offers a range of services including duct cleaning, HVAC system checks, and mold inspections – all tailored to the local climate and regulatory environment.

To get started, you can call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com. They have experienced technicians who will provide you with a detailed report on the state of your ductwork and recommend any necessary actions.

Remember, proactive measures now could prevent more severe health issues down the line. Don't hesitate to take this step for the well-being of your family.
