How to find hidden mold causing family cough?« Back to Previous Page

Based on your description, this is a classic scenario we encounter in Dubai. The combination of high ambient humidity and 24/7 AC use creates a perfect environment for concealed mold growth, often within the AC unit itself, inside wall cavities due to minor condensation leaks, or in poorly ventilated storage areas. The dark spots on your jackets are a significant red flag indicating a localized humidity issue in that wardrobe.

A thorough inspection isn't just about looking for visible mold; it's about finding the moisture source. We start with a comprehensive visual assessment of the AC drip pans, ductwork, and potential condensation points. Crucially, we use specialized equipment like borescopes to look inside walls and thermal imaging cameras to identify hidden damp spots and cold bridges that aren't visible to the naked eye. Air and surface sampling are then conducted to identify the spore types and concentration levels, which is vital for understanding the health impact and planning remediation.

For your family's health, especially with the ongoing cough, a professional inspection is strongly recommended. DIY tests are unreliable and won't locate the moisture source. We follow UAE standards and provide a detailed report that can be used for building management, if necessary.
