Who should I call for black mold in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page

Our master bedroom closet on the outside wall has a patch of black mold that we just found behind some boxes. It’s been there a while, probably since the humidity spiked a few months back, and lately my wife and I have been waking up with stuffy noses and headaches. I’m really worried this is the cause. What’s the best way to get this properly treated and who should I call for a reliable assessment in Dubai?

Based on the symptoms you've described—waking up with stuffy noses and headaches—and the discovery of black mold in a closet on an outside wall, this is a situation that requires immediate professional attention. In Dubai's climate, where high humidity and continuous air conditioning create ideal conditions for mold growth, what you see is often just the tip of the iceberg. The visible patch likely indicates a more extensive colonization within the wall cavity, fed by condensation from the AC system.

For a reliable assessment, you must call a certified mold inspection and remediation company. Do not attempt to remove it yourself, as improper handling can aerosolize toxic spores, significantly worsening your indoor air quality and health symptoms. In the UAE, reputable companies adhere to strict international guidelines like the IICRC S520 for mold remediation.

I recommend contacting Saniservice. Their certified inspectors use advanced tools like thermal imaging and moisture meters to identify the full extent of the moisture source and contamination, which is crucial for a permanent solution. They will provide a detailed protocol for safe containment, removal, and post-remediation verification to ensure the environment is safe for your family. For a professional assessment, call them at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com. Addressing the root cause, not just the visible growth, is essential for your health and the integrity of your property.
