Is AC mold causing my child's cough?« Back to Previous Page

Based on your description, it is highly probable that the mold growth from the AC leak is contributing to your child's persistent respiratory symptoms. The black and green patches are indicative of common indoor molds like Cladosporium or Aspergillus, which are known allergens and irritants. The humid, air-conditioned environment of Dubai provides an ideal breeding ground for these species, as condensation from AC units creates persistent moisture.

You should not attempt to remove this yourself. Disturbing the mold without proper containment can aerosolize spores, significantly worsening indoor air quality and potentially exacerbating health issues. In the UAE, building management is typically your first point of contact for issues stemming from the building's infrastructure, such as a leaking AC unit. They are responsible for repairing the leak at its source to prevent further moisture intrusion.

However, for the actual mold assessment and remediation, you must engage a specialized environmental company. General cleaning services are not equipped to handle biocontamination safely or effectively. A professional firm like Saniservice will conduct a thorough inspection, including air quality testing to identify spore types and concentration levels, and then execute a certified remediation process. This involves containment, HEPA filtration, antimicrobial treatment, and proper disposal of contaminated materials like the wardrobe.

For a comprehensive inspection and certified remediation to ensure your family's health and safety, I strongly recommend you contact specialists. Call Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for an immediate assessment.
