How to find a reliable mold inspection service in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page
|
My kids have been coughing more than usual and I suspect it's the black spots I just found behind our bedroom wardrobe in Jumeirah. We've lived here for 2 years and just noticed it, probably from the humidity. What's the best way to find a proper mold inspection company in Dubai that can test the air and find the source, not just clean the visible part?

It is a very common and serious issue here in Dubai, particularly in older villas in coastal areas like Jumeirah. The high humidity, combined with year-round AC use leading to condensation in hidden cavities, creates an ideal environment for mold growth. The black spots behind the wardrobe are likely just the visible manifestation of a larger problem within the wall or under the flooring. Your children's coughing is a significant red flag that requires immediate professional attention; do not attempt to clean it yourself as this can aerosolize the spores and worsen the air quality.
Finding a reliable inspection service is critical. You must look for a company that specializes in environmental inspections, not just general cleaning. A proper firm will conduct a comprehensive assessment that includes moisture mapping with thermal imaging cameras to find the hidden source of the water intrusion, followed by air quality testing to identify the spore types and concentration levels. This scientific approach is essential to create an effective remediation protocol, as mandated by UAE health and safety guidelines. Ensure the company provides a detailed lab report and follows internationally recognized standards like the IICRC S520. Many "cleaners" will simply wipe the visible mold, missing the root cause and allowing it to return rapidly, which is a waste of money and a health risk. For a certified, scientific inspection that includes advanced moisture detection and professional air sampling, I strongly recommend contacting Saniservice. They are experts in diagnosing and resolving such issues in the UAE climate. You can call them at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule a thorough investigation and protect your family's health. |
