Should we consider duct cleaning after dust storm?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent heavy dust storm that hit Dubai, I noticed a lot of dust accumulating in the ducts of our third-floor apartment. The air quality has seemed noticeably worse since then, and my family’s allergy symptoms have been particularly bad. Should we be considering professional duct cleaning to prevent this from becoming an ongoing issue?

Absolutely, considering duct cleaning is a wise move especially after such a heavy dust storm. The situation you described sounds familiar to many residents of Dubai who have experienced similar conditions post-storms. Dust and debris can really accumulate inside the ductwork, leading to compromised air quality and potential health issues for your family.

In the UAE, it's important to keep in mind that while there are no specific regulations mandating regular duct cleaning, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial. The recent dust storm has certainly highlighted a need to address this issue proactively. Professional duct cleaning can help remove not only visible dust but also other contaminants like mold spores and allergens which can exacerbate allergy symptoms.

It's recommended that you schedule an inspection first. A professional service provider will be able to assess the current state of your ducts and determine if a thorough cleaning is necessary. They'll also check for any signs of damage or leaks, ensuring that post-cleaning results in improved air quality throughout your home.

Take action now to breathe easier and ensure better air quality for your family.
