How to get a mold inspection for AC leak?« Back to Previous Page

Given the visible mold growth on your skirting board and the history of AC leakage in your Jumeirah apartment, a professional inspection is strongly recommended. The high humidity and condensation common in Dubai's climate create an ideal environment for mold to proliferate, often in hidden areas like inside wall cavities or the AC unit itself, which a visual assessment will miss.

A proper inspection by a certified company like Saniservice involves a multi-step process. It begins with a detailed visual examination using specialized tools such as borescopes to look behind walls and moisture meters to quantify the dampness in your carpet and building materials. Crucially, air and surface sampling will be conducted. Air sampling identifies the concentration and types of mold spores in your bedroom's air, comparing it to an outdoor control sample to confirm an indoor amplification site. Surface sampling from the skirting board will confirm the genus of the mold, which is vital for determining the appropriate remediation protocol.

This scientific approach is essential to map the full extent of contamination, as the visible speckles are likely just the tip of the iceberg. DIY attempts often disturb the mold, causing spores to become airborne and spread throughout the property, significantly increasing health risks and cleanup costs. For a definitive diagnosis and a clear remediation plan, you should contact professionals.
