Should we clean our ducts due to dust storm?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm last month, we've noticed a persistent sneezing and coughing outbreak among our family members, especially in the living room where the vents are located. We're worried it might be due to all the dust that has accumulated in the ducts over the years. Has anyone else experienced similar issues or knows how often duct cleaning is recommended for homes in Dubai?

Absolutely, dust storms can indeed lead to an increase of particulate matter and allergens like dust mites, pollen, and mold spores. In dubai, where we've had such intense weather lately, it's a common concern for homeowners. I've seen several cases similar to yours, where families have experienced respiratory issues after a storm. This is often due to the accumulation of dust in the ductwork.
In dubai, our building codes and regulations don't specifically mandate regular duct cleaning. However, based on best practices and what i've observed, it’s highly recommended to clean your ducts at least once every two years, especially if you live in an area prone to sandstorms or have had a particularly harsh one like the last one. The dust storm we experienced can cause a significant amount of debris to be pushed into your homes through open windows and vents. Once inside, this dust gets trapped in your HVAC system’s ductwork over time. If not cleaned regularly, these particles could be recirculated back into the air, leading to those sneezing and coughing outbreaks you're experiencing. For a thorough inspection and cleaning of your ducts, i'd recommend contacting a professional service like ours at Saniservice.
