Should I hire a pro to check for mold?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain last month, I noticed a musty smell in my living room, especially when I open the windows. My family has also had more respiratory issues lately which made me wonder if there might be mold growing behind the walls or in the corners. Should I consider hiring a professional for an inspection, and how much can I expect to pay for one?

Absolutely, hiring a professional for mold inspection is highly recommended, especially given the recent heavy rains and increased respiratory issues you've noticed. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, humidity levels can be quite high, creating an ideal environment for mold growth. According to the UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 37 of 1980 on Public Health, it's mandatory to ensure that living environments are free from harmful microorganisms.

Given your symptoms and observations, I strongly advise you to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a thorough inspection. A professional will use advanced tools like thermal imaging cameras and moisture meters to detect hidden mold growth behind walls and in corners that might be inaccessible to the naked eye. They can also perform air quality tests to identify any potential allergens.

In Dubai, it's common practice to have regular inspections, especially after significant weather events. The cost for a professional inspection varies but generally ranges from AED 1000 to AED 3000 depending on the size of your property and the extent of the suspected mold areas. However, this is an investment that can prevent costly remediation in the future.

Once you have confirmed with the professionals regarding any mold presence, they will provide a detailed report and discuss appropriate remediation steps. This might include dehumidification, air purification systems, or even structural repairs to eliminate moisture sources and ensure long-term health of your living space.

Remember, early detection is key in managing mold growth effectively. Don't delay; call us today for peace of mind and a healthier home environment.
