After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a musty smell lingering in my bedroom closet. The walls seem damp, and when I looked closer, I saw some black spots on the corners of the wall. My kids have been complaining of persistent coughs and runny noses lately, which has me worried about mold exposure. Could this be related? What should I do for a professional mold inspection?

Is mold making my kids sick? That's a valid concern and indeed, the symptoms your children are experiencing could be related to potential mold exposure. Mold can produce allergens and irritants that might cause various health issues, especially for those with weakened immune systems or existing respiratory conditions such as asthma.
In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, we often face humidity fluctuations due to climatic changes and occasional heavy rains. This environment creates an ideal condition for molds to thrive, especially in damp areas like bathrooms, kitchens, and closets. The presence of black spots on your wall suggests possible mold growth. Mold spores can be airborne and might be causing the persistent coughs and runny noses your kids are experiencing. It’s crucial not to ignore these symptoms as they could potentially lead to more severe health issues over time. For a professional assessment, you should definitely consider calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for an inspection. Our team of experts can conduct a thorough evaluation and provide guidance on remediation if necessary. During the inspection, our specialists will use advanced equipment such as moisture meters to identify damp areas that may be conducive to mold growth. They might also perform air quality tests to detect mold spores in your home. If we find active mold colonies, we’ll recommend appropriate cleaning or removal methods tailored for your specific situation. Remember, quick action is key. Ignoring the issue can lead to further structural damage and continued health risks for you and your family. Let's take this opportunity to ensure a healthier living environment together. |
