How to get a mold inspection for black spots?« Back to Previous Page
|
My kids have been coughing more than usual, especially in the morning, and we’ve just discovered black spots along the baseboards in their bedroom closet. We’ve lived in our Jumeirah villa for about five years and this is the first time we’re seeing this. What’s the best way to get a proper mold inspection done to make sure it’s not something serious affecting their health?

Based on your description of black spots along the baseboards and the associated respiratory symptoms in your children, a professional mold inspection is strongly recommended. In Dubai's climate, the combination of high ambient humidity and year-round air conditioning creates a significant risk for condensation, particularly in concealed areas like closets and behind baseboards, which are prime environments for mold growth.
A proper inspection goes beyond a visual assessment. Our certified technicians utilize a combination of advanced tools, including moisture meters to detect hidden dampness within walls and flooring, thermal imaging cameras to identify temperature differentials indicative of condensation, and specialized borescopes to visually inspect inside wall cavities without destructive drilling. Crucially, we conduct air quality sampling to analyze the concentration and types of mold spores present in your indoor air, which is essential for understanding the potential health impact, especially given the symptoms you've described. Attempting to clean visible growth without identifying and addressing the underlying moisture source is a temporary solution at best. The Dubai Municipality has guidelines for indoor environmental quality, and a professional assessment ensures the remediation plan is comprehensive and effective. For a thorough inspection and detailed report, I advise contacting our team at Saniservice. We can schedule a comprehensive assessment to identify the extent of the issue and its root cause.
