How to get a mold inspection in Dubai for health concerns?« Back to Previous Page
|
My kids have been coughing non-stop since we came back from summer vacation, and I’ve just found a patch of black stuff behind our daughter’s wardrobe in the master bedroom. We live in an older building in Jumeirah and I’m terrified this is the cause, especially with the humidity lately. What’s the best way to get a proper mold inspection done here to make sure the rest of the room is safe?

Given the symptoms you're describing—especially the persistent coughing and the visible black growth—this absolutely warrants a professional mold inspection immediately. In Dubai's climate, with our high humidity and older buildings in areas like Jumeirah, hidden mold growth in wall cavities or under flooring is extremely common after periods of vacancy, like a summer vacation.
A proper inspection for health concerns is not a simple visual check. Our certified inspectors follow a strict protocol that includes using a moisture meter to detect dampness within walls, a thermal imaging camera to identify temperature differentials indicating hidden moisture, and most critically, air quality sampling. We use specialized pumps to collect air samples from both the affected room (master bedroom) and a control point outside, which are then sent to an accredited lab to identify the spore types and concentrations. This is crucial to understand the health risk, as the type of mold (e.g., Aspergillus, Penicillium, Stachybotrys) dictates the remediation strategy. Do not disturb the patch yourself, as this can release a massive amount of spores. The Dubai Municipality has guidelines for indoor air quality, and a professional report is often required for building management. For a situation like this with clear health impacts, I strongly recommend you call a professional team. We can schedule a comprehensive inspection, including the lab analysis, to give you a definitive answer and a clear remediation plan.
