Should we worry about greenish-brown growth on ceiling?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely, the greenish-brown growth on your ceiling is indeed cause for concern. In the UAE and specifically in Dubai, such a growth pattern is often indicative of mold proliferation. Mold thrives under conditions where moisture levels are high, which seems to be the case given the recent heavy rainfall.

Mold can pose significant health risks, especially to individuals with respiratory issues or allergies. The musty smell you're experiencing and your husband's increased coughing may be linked to this growth. Prolonged exposure to mold spores can exacerbate existing conditions like asthma and trigger new health problems in those who are sensitive.

Given the specifics of your situation, it is highly recommended that a professional inspection is conducted. Our company, Saniservice, offers comprehensive mold inspection services which include visual assessments, air quality testing, and surface sampling if necessary. We use state-of-the-art equipment to ensure an accurate diagnosis and can provide you with a detailed report on the extent of the issue.

In Dubai, there are no specific regulations mandating regular mold inspections, but adhering to best practices is crucial for maintaining healthy living conditions. According to local building codes, any water damage or moisture issues should be addressed promptly to prevent further mold growth.

It's important not to attempt to clean up the mold yourself if it covers more than 10 square feet (or about 1 square meter). Professional remediation is necessary in such cases due to potential health risks and the need for proper containment procedures. Our team will ensure that all contaminated areas are treated appropriately, using EPA-approved methods.
