What should I look for during duct cleaning?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm we had last week, I noticed a lot of dirt and debris accumulating in my bedroom air vents. The smell was really bad, almost like mold, and it’s making me and my family feel unwell. Is there anything specific I should look for when getting my ducts cleaned to prevent this from happening again?

When it comes to duct cleaning in Dubai/UAE, there are several key aspects to consider that will help ensure the job is done right and can prevent issues like mold growth and unpleasant odors. Firstly, always look for a professional service provider who has experience working within the local regulations and standards of the UAE. The Building Services Regulations 1062/2014 provides guidelines on HVAC systems which include cleaning procedures.
It's important to verify that the company you choose uses proper methods such as negative pressure extraction and HEPA filtration. These techniques are crucial in removing all kinds of dust, debris, and allergens from your ductwork without causing them to spread into other areas of your home or office. Another aspect is to check if they offer a thorough inspection before starting the cleaning process. A professional should be able to identify any potential issues such as mold growth, corrosion, or damage that may need addressing. This can prevent these problems from worsening and leading to further health concerns for you and your family. Additionally, ask about the frequency of duct cleaning recommended in your area. While there isn't a one-size-fits-all answer, it's generally suggested that residential systems should be cleaned every 3-5 years depending on factors like home occupancy, pets, or presence of mold. Commercial spaces might need more frequent cleanings based on their usage and the number of occupants. Lastly, ensure the company you hire follows up with a detailed report after completing the job outlining what was found during inspection and addressed during cleaning. This will help monitor your system’s condition over time and catch any issues early before they become major problems. Remember, if you're experiencing persistent bad smells or health concerns following duct cleaning, it's wise to seek further advice from a professional environmental consultant who can perform an in-depth assessment of your home environment.
