Could mold cause my family's health issues?« Back to Previous Page

Yes, mold can indeed cause your family's health issues. The symptoms you've described—coughing and sneezing—are common allergic reactions to molds. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, dampness is a known trigger for mold growth due to the recent rains and high humidity levels during certain months.

In your case, it sounds like there might be an issue with the mold chiller system in your apartment or building. Mold chillers play a crucial role in maintaining air quality by reducing moisture levels in the air, which can help prevent mold growth. If not properly maintained, these systems may fail to keep up with moisture control, especially during periods of high humidity.

Given the situation you've described, it would be prudent to take immediate action. First and foremost, ensure that the area affected is well-ventilated. Open windows if possible, but avoid doing so on days when outdoor humidity levels are particularly high. Using dehumidifiers in your home can also help manage moisture levels.

However, for a comprehensive solution, a professional inspection by an environmental specialist or a certified mold remediation company like Saniservice is highly recommended. They will have the expertise to identify the root cause of the problem and provide appropriate solutions. In Dubai/UAE, regulations mandate that all buildings maintain certain standards of air quality, which can be compromised by unchecked mold growth.

Saniservice offers professional mold inspection and remediation services in line with UAE standards. Their team uses state-of-the-art equipment to detect even small amounts of mold and will recommend the appropriate steps for removal. It's important to address this issue promptly as prolonged exposure to mold spores can exacerbate respiratory issues, especially among children.

In addition to seeking professional help, consider implementing some preventative measures in your home:
• Regularly clean and maintain your HVAC system
• Ensure proper drainage around your building to prevent water accumulation
• Use air purifiers that have HEPA filters to capture tiny mold spores

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for the health of your family. If you suspect a mold issue, don't delay in contacting Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for assistance.
