Should I call a pro for mold in my son's room?« Back to Previous Page
|
My son’s asthma has been so much worse in his bedroom since the humid weather started, and I just found a bunch of black spots in the corner behind his wardrobe. I wiped it down with vinegar, but I’m worried it’s spread inside the walls. Is this something I can keep treating myself, or is it time to call one of those professional mold remediation companies in Dubai?

Based on your description, this is absolutely a situation that warrants a professional inspection, especially given your son's asthma. The presence of visible black mold, exacerbated by Dubai's intense humidity, combined with an underlying respiratory condition, creates a significant health risk that DIY methods like vinegar cannot address.
Vinegar only cleans the surface you can see. The fact that the mold is behind a wardrobe, a classic spot for condensation and lack of air circulation, strongly suggests the problem is more extensive within the wall cavity. Spores will have permeated the porous materials like drywall and insulation. For an asthmatic, these airborne spores are a major trigger, and improper cleaning can aerosolize them, making the air quality worse. In the UAE, proper remediation isn't just about cleaning; it's about creating a controlled environment to prevent cross-contamination to other parts of your home, which we achieve through negative air pressure containment chambers. We use industrial-grade HEPA filtration and antimicrobials approved for use in occupied spaces. A certified inspector will use moisture meters and borescopes to assess the hidden damage within the walls, which is crucial for a permanent solution. Given your son's health, I would strongly advise against further DIY attempts. For a proper assessment and to discuss remediation options, please call our team at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com. We can provide a detailed inspection and a plan to make his bedroom safe again. |
